i'm wondering if anyone knows the word/technique this is. i'm sure i saw a video/essay on it to do with pynchon
basically it is just adding different unctuation marks to give the same sentance a different meaning. (sort of)
it's kind of difficult to come up with examples bc i'm shit at lit.
cheeky? you are not giving me a lift to work!
cheeky you are! not giving me a lift... To work?

What are the best/essential Everyman's Library editions?
Is the translation for Don Quixote used in their edition very good?

You will select 5 novels from the appropriate period which you are willing to discuss with the examiner.
Which one would you choose?

Joyce, Kipling, Woolf, DH Lawrence, Orwell

I'd call the examiner a pleb for including so many women and bid him (likely her) good day as there is obviously nothing they can teach me

Have any of you guys had a book, article, or anything published?
How did you do it? Any tips?
I wrote a book and I want to get it published but nobody wants to be my agent, which is to be expected I guess. How's self-publishing? People keep mentioning it to me.

I've had about half a dozen short stories published in zines but that's really very different to novels. You can go down the self-publishing route and there'll be plenty of Anons along shortly who can tell you how they did that, but if you're prepared to put in a little more work to get it done properly, I recommend getting yourself a copy of the Writer's & Artists Yearbook 2016, an annual publication written for people in your situation which has all the resources you'll need on the who to write to and how to address them. I think this is the second time today I've mentioned it.

There's nothing much wrong here.
If you're talking about cover art, the re-release on discworld books are worse. Theres no wrap around. Here's a bad image comparison I made in paint.
Sorry your thread is probably dead on arrival OP, if you're still bothering to check.

cropping?

Dude, WTF??
I bought The Book of Disquiet and it was a trimmed version. Some faggot took some of the pieces and built it's own version...
How is not that fucking ilegal?
I don't even have a receipt.

You think that's bad? There's an overpriced edition of Pale Fire that's literally just a booklet with the poem and some index cards with the poem on it inside a box

Hello /lit/, trying to read more and have by listening to audiobooks while I commute to and from work. I have been using Librivox for my free audiobook downloads but and slowly running out of interesting books on that site. Any good sites with free audiobook downloads (no subscription) someone can point me in the direction of? Picture completely unrelated.

I believe bookz (in the wiki/sticky) has some, I remember listening to Lolita by Jeremy Irons (e.g. Scar in The Lion King) and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Stephen Fry and I'm certain I got at least one of them off IRC. They're both fantastic, by the way--I especially enjoyed Irons' reading, though I sadly ended up straying from the audiobook and went back to the written word. I would check bookz on IRC though, and any other audiobook channel.
Additionally, you can always go for TPB, stream from YouTube (sometimes even Spotify, for some things), or take advantage of the many coupons out there that grant a free first audiobook on Audible.

My knee jerk reaction would be Twilight. However I have read Dime Novels that are much shitter than sparkly vampire high.
