Bibliotik is run by a ton of incompetent elitist assholes. I was banned for disagreeing with a librarian via pm, politely, despite being pro. I've never seen a more unwelcoming community.

Just use bookzz and btdigg and get a mobilism account

Why does every review praises this piece of shit?

I'm incredibly into viral pathology, and I've read everything I could get my hands on, from medical journals to lab protocols, and fiction (my favorite is Whiteout) and this stands out as the shittiest.

>terrible writting, choppy and unstructured
>reads like a grocery list
>claims to be pure fact
>key information about the disease, the patients, it's history, and the labs is exaggerated or plain wrong

Anyone read this? I'm kinda raging/venting.

Recommend anything on the subject please, fiction, non ficition, books or otherwise. I'm into hemorragic fevers the most, but I do enjoy other diseases.

I haven't read it. Do you have any journal/non-fiction recs?

I would read:
Janeway's Immunobiology
Murray's Medical Microbiology
Zaher's Pathology Made Ridiculously Simple
Robbins and Cotran
>>
>>7417028

Most of the journals circle around lab protocols. I just check sources on wikipedia articles and find very interesting links.

Do you have names?

There's NEJM, Science, and Nature, of course. I like Journal of Experimental Medicine. Also AJCP.

>they keep on talking after I've said "haha yeah." three times in a row without looking up

>in the break room at work
>scrolling through Facebook on my phone
>no one bothers me
>if someone does the slightest sign of irritation from me prompts a: "oh sorry you're busy." from them and then they leave me alone

What is happening lit? Why do people think it's okay to interrupt me when I'm reading a book, but respect my space when I'm reading my phone? How did we get here?

If I've learned anything from these silicon-valley techno-nogs it's that you can use exponential laws to convince people that just about anything is "about to happen".

So yes, it seems unlikely but I am actually about to anally penetrate your mother.
>>
not even close

that "with no discernible movement coalescing" is bullshit, we just can't talk explicitly about because we're still in the middle of it and we're not sure what it is.

his faggotry about sillicon valley literally just means 'i have a white dick and like my phone'-- sillicon valley itself is the cultural equivalent of chernobyl, like the financial industry, but it might enable something interesting.

I've never read anything that was published in the 21st century. What would lit recommend as the very best of the last few years?

Pic related, I googled 'best novel of 2015' and everything looks like shit to me.

I used to think that a book being written 15 years earlier gave it better value too but hey, today's books are tomorrow's classics.

Hey /lit/. I'm thinking of buying an eReader. Until now I read physical books and digital only with my phone, which is quite uncomfortable.
I have no idea at all about eReaders, so I was hoping you could recommend the best current device out there in your opinion, or whatever you're using and find satisfying.
