So that the people at the printing place stop calling

The process of bookbinding (as in, the making a physical book) involves working several units of paper together into a book. Those units of paper usually come in standard quantities (quirts or reams or whatever). So if you're working with units of 32 pages, and you want to make a book that's 63 pages long, you need to use two blocks of 32 pages. Now, you can choose to cut off one page, so you actually end up with 63 printed pages. But that cutting off of the last page involves an additional expense in the production process - it's cheaper to leave it in. But now you have a book of 63 printed pages and a blank page. People might wonder if they have a flawed product and the last page has been accidentally unprinted. So, to eliminate confusion, you print 'this page intentionally left blank' on the last page. It's pretty dumb and most people don't think about twice about a blank page at the end of a book, but apparently at one point printers thought that was necessary.

It's fun. Not really hard to read nor complex, just some gimmicks here and there and a lot of quotes. Nice edition though.

Totally enjoyed it
Go for it op

I want to tell you to read something else instead, but, due to its recent surge in popularity people will just tell me to "stop memeing".

shouldn't you be on twitter?

In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

why do you not say a kids book

1. Pierre
2. Moby-Dick
3. The Confidence Man
I also liked Mardi, though it's kind of a prototype Moby-Dick. Planning to read his epic poem soon, should I be hyped lads?

The "consensus" is that Moby-Dick is his best, but most academics are plebs who haven't read the others so you'll Have to either read them all or look into criticism by patricians.

Read the scans of the original hand written transcript. They are the best, and keep the edgy lolita like instances.

Read Otto Weininger. Or Lacan

I can't read philosophy for the life of me, nor is it what I want to do at the moment (it took me a month to read "On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason" and I can't remember a bloody thing).
I want to learn about pedophilia, but it's such a taboo topic that I don't know where to look.

What was it about then?

Thanks, I was definitely reading too much into it.

Man I'm on Chapter 45 and I still don't know what the fuck is being said half the time.

Great book though. Took me a while to get into it but somewhere around the St. Helena chapters I really started to love it.

From the screenshot I'm thinking you're about 30 pages in? How are you liking it so far OP?

Try Canadian Tire maybe. They have cheap furniture I think. If that is no good you could always go to Walmart. Check kijiji too.

Check pawn shops too and just low ball them, who the fuck at a pawn shop really cares about a bookshelf.
Which Uni you at op?

>Newfriends will never know the superhuman glory of D&E's trolling
>Newpals will never laugh at Sunhawk's reading habits again
>Newbuddies will never see the original Pinecone threads
>Newchums from this point forward will always know /lit/ as that place where people complain about a Reddit invasion

Which is the greater nightmare, death... or life?
