I do not read books

>>8361962
hardcover, and be sure to throw away the dust jacket

>>8361962
I dont' wanna be that guy but, it depends.
Paperback for when I'm going for a ride or somewhere nice and the book is bound to be damaged, hardcover for when really bug books like anthologies or something like that and when you plan on reading it at home in your comfy ass chair.

I know that's a shitty answer so I'm gonna give you a juicier one. If I could only use one type I would get paperback. I find it more practical and less stresful to read since you are not worrying about damaging the beautiful 70 bucks edition of Atlas Shrugged

Obviously you have free will, wtf.

Raise your right hand, wiggle it a bit. Was that an inevitable consequence of the structure of the universe, the alignment of various ideological systems, the puppeteering of an elusive and omnipresent god?

Or did you just do it because you decided to do it? In fact, if you haven't done it yet, you've even resisted my own compulsion, guaranteeing your free will reigns supreme.

Obviously there are constraints on free will, and sizeables ones at that.

But anyone who tells you that it doesn't exist, zero, nuh-uh, none at all, nada, is a Calvinist.

>>8361941
Is that really free will or just a consequence of million of variables converging on one specific time and place?

>>8361931
no and no

>>8361941
>calvinist

>>8361793

Wow, amazing purchasing skill, my friend.

What's your method of payment? What kind of delivery do you opt for?

>>8361617
JELLO AF of that copy of JR

>>8361617
i have that same J R on my bedside, how did you get a picture of it? are you coming into my house and rearranging my books with your own shit books and taking pictures of them for the internet? also, why would you bring your own furniture into my house to do all this? it all seems so ridiculous

as much as i dislike the new homepage (because I have no friends) it barely effects functionality.

Is librarything worth it? I've never actually heard of the site before now.

GR is now officially a facebook clone.

Can we protest to change it back?

I've never used it, s'pain it me

Something wicked this way comes.

>>8361200
Any links to past threads?

>>8361594
there isn't any

Looking for "Reading the Illegible" by Craig Dworkin. Any other of his books are appreciated too (maybe spare The Poetry Of Sound / as I already have it.)

>>8361193
maybe he was just a bit shit, mate

>>8361193
>The Impertinent Curious Man
literally the best chapter in the novel

>>8361193
He was in jail.

He had a lot of spare time.

>>8361177
what's lore?

>>8361177
Better to release it as a companion book so that you can cash in twice.

>>8361177
I guess Herman Melville got away with it.

>>8361109
The Stoics

>>8361109
Camus is normie-tier.

>>8361129
I read Camus when I was 15 and went into the depression, trying to tell myself "life is like... just so absurd, bruh :/".
I'm looking for something grown up now.

IT'S POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD. FACT.

>>8361039
You don't like Heller? IMO Something Happened is a lot better than Catch-22.

Catch 21 was better than the sequel.

>>8361015
Read (about) stuff you like, or develop crippling social anxiety

>>8361015
no girlfriend no internet no tv

Maybe you should try putting some spices or condiments on the books to make them taste better?
