OP's pic related, along with The Spiderwick Chronicles. The Magic Tree House books were pretty cash, as well.

OP, have you seen the new teaser for Netflix's adaptation? Whomever they casted for Count Olaf doesn't suit the books' description at all. The voice doesn't sound like what I had in mind, either.

>>8690457
Not op, but I was satisfied. I thought Olaf should have been more menacing though. I don't think the eyebrow was shaved off even. Plus in the teaser Klaus is taller than Violet, even though violet is always taller

>>8690457
Shouldn't the Baudelaires have a more "British" accent? They were in a Britain/Londen-esque town thing right? Unless my memory mistakes me.

>>8690376
No, it should be

If you are a female whom drives

>>8690376
no
>>8690391
no

Standalone?
If you're a female, AND if you drive.
Or
If you're a female and drive.

AND must be capitalized, BECAUSE it's poor form to use a coordinating conjunction after a comma without capitalizing --- or at least italicizing. The comma is necessary for flow, one to three em bars is or are ( respectively ) okay, too.

I picked up some award winning writer and people were just like 'he's proust' and they were right. Proust is for people who want to read some guys inner thoughts and jack off to them I think.

Bernard is cute!

Anon, what's the specific name of this cartoon-like animated animation of sorts?

And what did you choose?

>>8689304
They wouldn't let us freely choose books anymore from 16 years onwards. Only literature approved by the teacher.

How old are you OP?

>>8689318
Notes from the Underground, but my report will come at the end of the month, so I don't know how my teacher will react.

>>8689330
We have a mandatory approved literature list also, but we must do a report on a freely chosen book once a semester as well.

>>8687767
Authors are way too threatened by the idea to write about it.

>>8687767
Me too, I asked about it here. Got some dystopian literature, but really wanted something philosophical.

Because transhumanist are often like this:
>dude technology lmao
They are barely critical of technology. I am not expecting Ted Kaczynski style critique of technology*, but the techno-optimism of "dude lmao science and technology will solve everything bro" just doesn't do it.

I am looking for some analysis with potential issues, shortcomings, benefits etc. I want to know how transhumanism fits in a world where certain resources are being depleted, how transhumanism fits into social issues and so on and so on.

*Am going to read his next book tho.

I know a lot who wrote on that, but in French.

Why would you glue your books to the shelf

>>8693495
It's a very short story.

>>8693502
I'm worried I bought a lousy version. It just looks so cheap. Should I get the Dover edition for three bucks?

>>8693514

You should just buy a complete edition of his stories. They're great, especially the really short stories and parables.

Rimbaud is a real cutie

why did you daydream feeding Plato candy

>>8693506
I was reading Phaedo and I was also eating candy. I dreamt about going back in time and feeding him candy. When he bit into the jawbreaker, he screamed out in pain and I laughed
