What would you do in my position if you had to sell ~40 books? Listing each one on amazon or Ebay and then worrying about shipping 40 times seems like too much hassle.

Is my best option to list the entire lot on craigslist in one single posting?

>>9988863
that's probably the easiest way, just list it as a set and give a much cheaper price than it would be for buying them individually (MUCH cheaper)
>>
Are you able to elaborate on why you need to sell ~40 books?
>>
>>9988863
I don't know the exact profit but you could look into Fulfillment by Amazon, IIRC you just ship them the lot and they do everything of selling/shipping for you and give you a cut

It's pretty comfy. It's not great literature or art, but it's still an enjoyable diversion.

Not bad, pretty damn dated though. If you like Ellis, Janowitz, McInerney you'll like her. She's a better writer than they are but she hits the same notes.

Do you need high IQ to be a genius writer?

IQ is a meme for insecure STEM autists. Sure if you have a low IQ you're less likely to be able to write a good novel but it's not going to have a huge bearing.

No. But you need to stop frog posting.

How do you guys recommend reading the Bible? Any particular order? I really want to read it but I know I can't do it in one shot. I'd like to be able to break it up into thematically/stylistically similar sections and take them on one at a time.

Also, is there any Catholic approved translations you guys would recommend?

Thanks guys. Peace and Love

>the jew must see to it that, in a literal sense, "all things are nothing to him"

Wittgenstein also famously loved Weininger and passed his book around. He did the same with Spengler I believe.

I've never read that Ray Monk biography but I hear it's good. I'd be interested to know Wittgenstein's tendencies toward German cultural pessimism and what he felt about his Jewishness.

What do you think of NaNoWriMo?

Forced me to write a whole 60k words of a book. The novel is a piece of shit, but my writing improved so vastly just from pumping out that much material every day that I would say it's worth doing at least once. You won't get anything from the project directly, but it's a great place for newer writers to start building the habits that you need to actually get shit done.

far above the averages on the site. well done
any tips on someone considering trying it this nov?

It's not about writers actually making sellable novels, it's about showing non-writers they don't have the talent nor dedication to do this.
