>tradition has misattributed authorship of every single book of the Bible
>not a single book was attributed properly, not even by accident
>writing 40 years after an event is long enough for all human memory to completely decay and be replaced entirely by fantasy
>natural wordchoice variation that every writer is taught to use to avoid dull repetition is actually evidence of multiple authors with each synonym pointing to a different author
>every book of the Bible is actually a Wikipedia article cobbled together by thousands of different anonymous writers over thousands of years
>every single phoneme has a different aurthor
>a figure or event having a vague parallel in an unrelated tradition is irrefutable evidence that the Biblical tradition sole that figure or event no question and is actually PAGAN
>Jesus is actually a partisan of my pet political ideology even though He never existed

-connecticut yankee
-huck finn

What would /lit/ say is the best book between PuddinHead Wilson, Roughing It, and The Gilded Age???
Also. Taking other suggestions, so feel free.

Dude you are surrounded by 16-17 year old pussy nonstop. How do you stop yourself from being in anguish every day? Those girls are literally at their absolute prime. All bubbly and perky with perfectly smooth babyfat skin, radiating golden warmth just by existing. They're basically radiating IMPREGNATE ME pheromones at you, literally right out of their vaginas, and dressing like total sluts while you're standing in front of a blackboard talking about Mark Twain.
How do you control yourself? I would be sniffing 35 seats a day.

Mommy and Daddy certainly are. Home probably is too.

That looks incredible. Unfortunately I'm a Melbourne-fag so I get nothing. My University (La Trobe, laugh if you want I deserve it) has a couple of cool guys who come and sell books on Thursdays but never anything like this. I'd stack my room up to the ceiling if I had access to that place.

Are many of the books quality or are they battered, stained and damaged copies?

What is your preferred reading method, /lit/? Do you
a) Skim the book first, then read through quickly, then go back and read more closely, or
b) Just read the book straight through once?

Well when I read, I try to really understand each sentence.
>>
>>9999546
I read the book straight through once; very slowly so as to fully comprehend exactly what is written. I hate having to revisit text because of my failure to comprehend it.
I probably look like some one who is not to bright when I'm reading in public.

TLDR what are my last words to a cop before suicide because i can't think of a very cool one
I want to go up to my probation officer for the scheduled monthly meeting and blow my brains out right in front of his face.
He thinks he's a good man. Like Javert from Les Miserables,or something, but that man literally holds my fragile future like it's a fucking sack of marbles
I'm thinking my last words should be something like "I hope this makes you reconsider the justness of a system that entices people to suicide and perhaps discard your badge and pay reparations like a decent fucking human
