kek fellow new yorker
they had ASFINDA and BIWHM on that table too, to be fair
>>7877029
you guys should take over some shitty slam poetry event and go full meme shitpost irl
and see if you can clean out the room of nigs and fags
>>7877101
that sounds appealing but i'm assumign most of /lit/ are quiet beta sperglords who wouldnt have the chutzpah to actually do something like that
>>7877101
Would do.
>>7876934
>sticker on a $18 book
no thanks, public bookstores are shit.
>>7877101
Op here. I'm tattooed as fuck I look like a convict plus I'm black if I met you guys you'd think I was mugging you.
>>7877131
Fucking hell, this. That shit better slide right off.
>>7876944
Infinite Jest isn't a trilogy.
>>7876934
On a different note, the new Murakami covers ugly as hell
>>7877105
I'm originally from /tv/ so I'd show up dressed as CIA
>>7877131
>>7877203
what's the problem? they come right off

>>7877101
man this would be the best thing to happen
i'd even settle for someone writing a fan-fiction of "what if" it happened

Ulysses by James Joyces
>>7877101
the sjws would absolutely explode and probably incite violence

>not reading DFW's infinite trilogy
The second one was the best, imho
>>7877101
As amusing as this sounds, I wouldn't want to be associated with 4chinz in public.
hey thats the exact store i bought infinite jest in january.
What's wrong with comparing Infinite Jest to Ulysses?
the strand is massively overrated, kill yourself for going there
>>7879443
How
>>7879744
Throw yourself into the Hudson, step in front of a bus - does it really matter?
Why is the strand such a meme anyway? I've never gone there myself but people wank themselves over it a lot for some reason.
>>7879811
It's a great huge bookstore in a good drinking neighborhood with lots of penguin classics
>>7879920
What does a "good drinking neighborhood" even mean in NYC? I'm poor as fuck so I just buy a fifth of Old Crow at the closest liquor store and I'm good to go.
Don't tell me you actually work for a living? Or are you one of those trust fund baby hipsters who only drinks at bars?
>>7879927
Money is easy to get in NYC if you're smart.
>>7879811
It's literally the best bookstore in manhattan
>>7880028
>strand
>best bookstore in manhattan
the stand is the best tourist trap for provincial "readers" perhaps, ppl who lived in nyc for a long enough time just go up the block to the union square barnes and noble, nobody but ppl on vacation from wisconsin got time for that picked over strand shit
>>7880033
Yeah but the strand has books over 200 years old you pleb.
>>7880060
yeah and they charge u out the balls for them, they aren't naive dude, they have scanners that estimate the price of any book u sell to them, they are a cold calculating capitalist outfit, not some folksy hippy joint, those were all forced out when the city got gentrified by provincial plebs
>>7880068
Are you somehow implying an original copy of Don Quixote shouldn't be highly priced due to some vauge "power to the people" notion?
>>7880016
please tell me how bro

>>7880659
this guy gets it
Do all IJ editions use endnotes or some use footnotes on the same page of the main text they are supposed to annotate?
>Not just finding books on the street or going to used bookshops
Found a great used bookshop on St Mark's when I was in New York a couple years ago, if I remember it was near some Russian or Turkish baths and the street smelled of green mint. Quite nice actually.
>>7881075
Mine has them at the end of the book
>>7881075
They all use endnotes. Some of the end notes are story-length digressions. It wouldn't work at the foot of the page.
I prefer James Joyces Finnegans wake
