Looks like someones going through /lit/ memes

>everything good or recommended by trusted critics is a /lit/ meme
No regrets, I've enjoyed almost everything I've read this year. Also, most novels on my reading list were recommended to me by Silverblatt, Moore, Bloom, or my favorite authors. Gravity's Rainbow and Infinite Jest were rereads.

They're good. The essays/errata in the back can be very illuminating.

I like my heart of darkness one.
The essays on the historical background of the congo are helpful and there's some gnarly pics of guys with their hands chopped off

>Turtles All the Way Down is the story of 16-year-old Aza Holmes, a young woman who grapples with mental illness while investigating the disappearance of a fugitive billionaire
>about lifelong friendship, the intimacy of an unexpected reunion, Star Wars fan fiction, and tuatara. But at its heart is Aza Holmes, a young woman navigating daily existence within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

It's gonna be ace!

The greeks.

>rhetoric
Read Aristotle and Cicero.
>philosophical logic
I assume you mean 'how to think 101'. In that case, Plato's earlier dialogues, such as Eutyphiro and the Apology.

>Rhetoric
The new rhetoric by Perelman

>Philosophical logic
The new rhetoric by Perelman

Do not start with the greeks, unless you are searching for an outdated style.

Just go there, pick meme books (I guess you're referring to classics), go at the counter and ask if they have other specific editions (look on them at home) if they don't look skeptical for 5 seconds then say "Aaah, whatever, I'll copy the notes from someone else".

t. Autist who was ashamed of buying the greeks for the first time in his early 20s

i bet the owner doesnt know what meme shit is, he will be happy you are giving him any business in this day and age

C&P
Then Karamazov
The anything else, I went with Demons but Idiot would have been a good choice as well.

>>9812818
Ok. Tried reading the brothers but it was too heavy reading in bed

C&P then the idiot then demons then tbk
The rest read if you are interested but it doesn't really matter what order.
Actually it doesn't really matter what order you read the major novels in either, but tbk is a culmination of the themes of them all.

By googling I only can find stuff like "Top 6 short stories to scare you" or "Dark Fantasy books" or "Stories with twist ending" or "Sad short stories".

Can't seem to find more stuff like original Grimms stories.

Donald Barthelme's Forty Stories and Sixty Stories.

>>9812706
Borges

That paper was on biology though.

>Open Access
Theses reverse-sokal attempts are always to literally who journals; the most prestigious journal he submitted this too was is from Qatar and isn't even in the top 20 of its already incredibly niche category.

How is this comparable?

Sword of truth

Regions of Passion

La dame aux Camélias

I was trying to figure out the best course of action to do this as I don't have the correct equipment.
Either slicing along the fold axis, or slicing near to the fold axis across both limbs; but I'd like to avoid causing undue damage.

>Should I keep this copy for posterity and seek out a newer edition for learning material?
>yes
Any recommendations as toward which?

>Some of the pages have been cut incorrectly and haven't been clipped to allow you to open them and therefore available pages are missing due to their encapsulation:
This is actually completely normal for older books. It is mentioned in Great Gatsby and Anna Karenina (the former has many uncut, i.e. unread books on his shelf, the latter is described reading and cutting a book). If you intend to read it, pick a letter opener or something similar and just cut it. But a collector might pay more if it is uncut...

>Should I keep this copy for posterity and seek out a newer edition for learning material?
Only you can answer that question.

Check the submission grinder. You can sort by hugo and SFWA affiliated markets as well as by payscale.

Don't waste your time on non-paying markets. If you can't get your work in to your goal publication, it's not good enough. Write something else.
