Do you owned any autographed books?
>>8119754
yes
No but I own one of DFW's dogs
>>8119754
Why is that autographed by Arnold?
I'm 25 pages into the book (taking a break from J R). Austim is a bitch, neurofeedback is fascinating, and John Elder Robison is a p cool guy, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
>>8119754
of all things, I own a book signed by a well regarded marine biologist.
>>8119754
Just my Terry Brooks collection, desu.
>>8119754
That's a signed bookplate, not exactly an autographed book.
Mary Beard signed my copy of SPQR. Yet to read it.
>>8119754
Did author wrote 10000 autographs?
>>8120663

I have a signed first edition of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Match that, Obama.
>>8119754
His signature is very phallic, it's as if the "P" just shouts "Me ... big hunk of man"
Trump's penmanship lacks curves and he writes using up and down angles. Angles show a writer who is feeling angry, determined, fearful, competitive or challenged. When a script is completely devoid of curves, the writer lacks empathy and craves power, prestige and admiration.
I have a signed copy of Porno by Irvine Welsh and a signed copy of a book Ernie Kovacs wrote called Zoomar.
>>8121685
this is probably bullshit but my writing is basically all curves so what does that say about me.

Yo.

I have a 1st Edition Ulysses.
Every day is a struggle not to sell it. It was a gift from my father, who got it from his father in turn; who was quite friendly with Joyce when he was still in Ireland.
I work in a call centre, so I'm constantly trying to justify owning something that I could easily sell for like £250k+
An autographed copy of Green Eggs & Ham.

>>8124259
Alright, give me 5 minutes.

I have a 1st Edition Odyssey.
Every day is a struggle not to sell it. It was a gift from my father, who got it from his father in turn; who was quite friendly with Homer when he was still in Greece.
I work in a call centre, so I'm constantly trying to justify owning something that I could easily sell for like £420k+

It was a decent book. I went to the signing because I didn't have really anything to do. Ended up going there, buying the book, getting it signed, and then going out to a bar to talk with a bunch of Harvard Asians about how much they hate the "Tiger Mom" culture. Was pretty fun.
My brother got Immortal Technique to sign the Communist Manifesto. That same day I had him sign a rock.

>not realizing Homer wasn't one person
>>8124215
please sell it anon it's not worth keeping it around for that much money
>>8124366
The Odyssey is a critique and companion of the Iliad, composed in old age after Homer had traveled. The lack of thematic overlap between them is telling.
>>8124369
>selling it
Don't. It's only going to appreciate in value if you keep it clean. It's gonna be worth a lot more in the future.
>>8124391
>Implying people will read books in the future
>>8124392
if people don't still read books, it'll be worth even more as THE book.
>>8119754
yeah, some. nothing very special or rare though. pic related is one. pretty boring, but i like how his signature is the same size as the printed name.
i knew a journalist once who actually interviewed quite a lot of famous writers and always got them to sign things. he had a shelf full of stuff that was worth thousands. i plan to burgle him one day.
>>8119754
The first 3 Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, I think.
I have a signed copy of "How Life Imitates Chess" by Garry Kasparov, and a signed copy of "The Case For Mars" by Robert Zubrin
>>8119754
i have a copy of There's Treasure Everywhere signed by Watterson
signed 1st Less Than Zero
>>8119754
I got JRR Tolkien's daughter Priscilla to sign my copy of the The Hobbit when she came through town on a speaking tour.
>>8119754
>mfw actually have incredibly pricy book in my possesion

Same here (not including the plans to burglarize a journalist, obviously).
Pic related is one. I have another dozen or so, but I honestly don't recall which books they are (I have somewhere around 800 or so books in the house at present).
Tale of the Body Thief by Anne Rice.
My dad got it signed when it was released, and he tried to get her to sign a Playboy with an interview of hers, but she'd only sign books bought then and there.
