I just got a book in the mail, but I have no idea what it could be. I've completely forgotten what it is.
What do you fuckers think? In a perfect world, what book is this going to be?Also: Haul thread
IT'S THE YEAR 2015 AND YOU'RE STILL BUYING BOOKS?!
>>7424213
Give me a hint senpai, what are the initials of the author?
>>7424235
I have no idea. I'm completely in the dark.
>>7424213
it'd be the copy of V. i just purchased. or Mason Dixon. you better deliver, OP. and in slow fashion with plenty of twists and turns.
>>7424242
Oh dear. You're putting me on the spot. I promise to do my best.
If it's a meme author i'm going to kill you.
>>7424249
calm down, it's probably only Vonnegut.
>>7424259
then it's murakami or rushdie or The Count
If it's not Plutarch's Moralia then i'm gonna go mad. I'm being deadly serious.
The Book of Disquiet (there's been a lot of discussion about it on /lit/ lately) or A Christmas Carol (seasonally themed purchased)
What do i win if i guess correctly?
>>7424269
ROOOOOOOOOO
>>7424280
>a known secret
Thanks brah. I already pirate my ebooks though.
Beauty Is a Wound by Eka Kurniawan, Statecraft as Soulcraft by George Will, Plato's Republic (Allen translation), andThe Oxford Annotated Bible.
KJV Bible
>>7424288
Meant to say that this was my haul. I'm guessing OP got some philosophy book.
>>7424286
It's either that or a youtube video- that's about all I got man.
>>7424292
Nope. How is Beauty is a Wound?
>>7424213
Obligatory demand for a corner.
Alright, dorks. I'll add this: It's a soft cover and there are raised bits on the cover.
>>7424332
A corner? What do I look like to you?
Ok, fine.
How To Buttfuck
>>7424339
Le morte d'arthur (Penguin Edition)?
>>7424346
Nope. I think I have that already.
>>7424343
HA! As if I'd need any help.
>>7424358
the book is E, and a blurb, "almost as good as stumpy and the twilight zone"
>>7424384
Could be an F
>stumpy and the twilight zone
Sounds like a mediocre southern cover band.
>>7424213
I MUST KNOW
>>7424466
welp. you'll know soon enough.
I'm gonna step it up. This corner blew it for me, but you guys still have to guess.
>>7424600
It's a James, but not a good one, not a James of the Joyce variant.
>>7424617
this is true
>>7424617
Nor of the Henry. It's a scifi.
>>7424669
James Gardner?
>>7424600
It's probably going to be some sci-fi novel
>>7424686
James Morrow?
>>7424358
Looks like Roadside Picnic to me
The last thing from thriftbooks I ordered was the Power Broker
Footprints of thunder by James F. David
>>7424729

>>7424747
How did she lose the ability to blink?
>>7424729
So tell me anon, what do want as your prize?
Secret or Youtube video?

OP delivered.
>>7424747

>>7424811
>literally the same plot as Bradbury's A Sound Of Thunder
So who plagiarized who?
>>7424756
She literally blinks every three seconds, anon.
>>7424747
>The Bane Chonicles
>>7424762
>Secret

Google "choose a category to browse by" with parentheses. The libraries get deleted every so often, but after a while a new, bigger one pops up in it's place.
>>7425058
*quotation marks.
>>7424747
Why do genre covers look so horrible? Do people actually like the gaudy covers?
>>7424970
A Sound of Thunder - 50s
Footprints of Thunder - 90s
iiidk, cuttin it pretty close.
>>7425156
Man i don't know. Then again, I absolutely love 70-80s covers. I miss painted fantasy/sci-fi covers.
>>7424970
a sound of thunder has a worse rating tho
>>7424806
man you get to go on a scary ride where jurassic park enters twilight zone
lucky mofo
Should I?
>>7425266
Go for it. Maybe get the Oxford book on the Pre-Socratics as well; understanding them will help with Plato.
>>7425266
>those estimated delivery dates
>>7425266
you can get it cheaper
>>7425277
>yeah it should be there anytime between tuesday and summer
Luckily I got other stuff to read
>>7424217
$3 dollars on amazon for a device that nobody on the bus wants to steal. Yes. I'm buying books.
