The Proust was 1$ although it says 3$ on the cover, but idk if the translation is any good.. Couldn't pass up a deal like that though

burn everything but proust, don quixote, and plato.
toss the morrison and mccarthy in the trash. the donquixote is a shit translation. rest are fine but the atwood would probably bore you.

>Canadian
>not being bilingual and reading Proust in glorious French
>>7735396
You were fooled bro, they have sold you only 1 book of 7 of proust, and 1 of 2 of don quixote. That is why it was so cheap.
>>7735396
1/10 if you've already read any of them and ought to know better
3/10 if you're new.
The Plato and Cervantes are bad translations, but readable I suppose.
Save Proust; the rest deserve to be tossed out.

cuck detected, back to tumblr
From the past few months. Books are so much cheaper here in London compared to my eight-world shithole of a country, even taking into consideration exchange rates.

have you ever seen a norton edition friend? the complementary material is -fantastic- for expanding your insight and understanding of the work if you're interested.

1/10-3/10 snob reporting in.
All good editions, unless the OWC editions use the cheap wood pulp they imported from Indonesia. Keep them.

Fuck Vancouver the moment I'm finished my degree I'm going to go live in city that has less traffic and rain. I don't know why everyone insists on immigrating here, it's such a shit city.
