do you have... a smartphone?

see if there's a printer/bookbinder nearby who'll print and bind them cheaply. Usually there'll be one near a college or uni, and they'll be able to slap a thesis-style fake leather cover on an A5 size hardback. That's what I did with a bunch of ebooks cause same issue as you. Wasn't very expensive but I gave him quite a bit of business; getting old books rebound or fixed, so the cheap print outs may have been a favour. look into it anyways.

He's a swell guy.

what a horrible way to start a thread. I understand you wanna have some kind of discussion, but this is terribly vague. What am I supposed to say? Would you go to /ck/ and say "thoughts on spoons?"

Life is like totaly absurd and stuff

Emo as fuck hungry skelton develops a morphine addiction to stay alive, except this morphine source is a bloodthirsty sword that forces him to slaughter thousands of people mercilessly, which makes him endlessly butthurt. Elric is awesome by the way. Michael Moorcock is by far one of the best fantasy writers.

heh.

the Elric books are pretty good. he does things he's not proud of. he agonises over having done them. he's not a single-minded sociopath who believes he's always doing the right thing. not only is he addicted to the life-force from his sword, his patron is a Chaos lord and gradually Elric realises he's fighting on the side of the bad guys. i can't think of many fantasy heroes who ever went through that - perhaps Lord Gro from Eddison's "The Worm Ouroboros".

also, Moorcock isn't about poking fun at Elric now and then. if you can find the version illustrated by Rodney Matthews, "Elric at the End of Time" is funny.

Elric: "I have a doom-laden destiny."
Werther de Goethe (eagerly) "I, too, have a doom-laden destiny!"
Elric (disdainfully) "I doubt it is as doom-laden as mine."

You should read it, great series. So are the Hawkmoon, Erekose and Corum books.

It's surprisingly decent

we should start a movement where we post pics of our semen soaked copies online

There's this

>>9788516
Personally, I started with Going Postal and then Making Money. They're connected by the same characters, and, I think, make a decent introduction to Discworld overall. The graphic gives several different entry point.

It's weird how closely sophists resemble postmodernists.

>>9787662

This is actually pretty good. 10/10

It's from the heart. I wrote it after a 20 hour marathon wank session. I was thinking about this chick I adored back in high school. Like the poem says, she was awkward as fuck, had a busted face, and a nasally voice. But I just fucking loved her because she had the perfect hourglass figure.

I also thought about this girl I dated while I was crushing on hourglass chick. This girl was way nicer to me, much more confident, had a prettier face, etc. But her figure just sucked compared to hourglass chick. She had the hourglass chick beat on every metric EXCEPT figure, but she still lost in my heart, because the hourglass is tops for women.

should be titled "the desperate infatuation of a pussy-slave's first encounters with a butter face"

I hate to tell you this but you fell for the meme.
Also you really should read what you're buying these days. There's a lot of scam/garbage publishers on mainstream platforms.

And by ancient Greek which language are you referring to?

>>9787462
Modern greek

You do know that ancient Greek can refers to multiple things right?
