I just looked this one up and it's exactly what I was hoping to find. Thank you.

sorry you just read the best one. Its all downhill from here.

Like a moor.

With words

Like the advancing sable fringe of cascading ether reciprocal to the setting crimson sun.

Why pleb? Cut your fingers?

His arms were too weak to hold the book up to read it, so he gave it up after the first 10 pages and came here to complain about it.

Kid probably couldn't even pronounce QueeQueg when he subvocalized

>It's a chapter about agriculture and the industrialization of Russia after the 1861 empancipation

A decent look into human sexual psychology but I don't agree with the philosophy. (Ex. It's okay to cuck people)

I worked for one for 7 years. At one point I was sending out 2 million emails a week, mostly to college professors and students, as well as people in professional organizations. We had servers in hungary and costa rica controlling slave servers in the US (spam services catch non-us IPs)

We would target people with humanities degrees, and publish a book a year, and then send them a PDF of their book unless they upgraded. Book costs were 200-400 a copy and guaranteed submitted to the library of congress. I ran their IT and marketing department, and actually created their books with microsoft word and acrobat portable (pirated). Made 50-60k a year before I quit, since I had a kid and they had moved towards targeting linkedin profiles.

Taking questions.

>>7517509

Why did you quit? How do i learn spamming? I tired many forums but details were kept in shadows everywhere i went.

>Book costs were 200-400 a copy

I'm doing it in minimum 1000 copies. Should i reduce the numbers and go into digital printing instead of offset printing?

I do the layouts in Indesign.

I'd be interested in a conversation about starting a publishing house with a goal of being respected and reputable in the industry, but not really interested in starting a vanity press.

Although, I admit, a lot of the authors of the 19th and early 20th century paid to publish their work. And it's not as morally or ethically wrong as many immediately think.

Eliza and Ezra rolled together into the one giggling snowball of full-figured copulation, screaming and shouting as they playfully bit and pulled at each other in a dangerous and clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation with Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra’s howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza’s body except for the otherwise central zone.

Rob and Rebecca fukt and it was hot.
The end.

>/lit/ will defend this "philosopher"

Hello, you must be from Reddit. As a warning to you as you may be easily triggered, we here on /lit/ are pro-National Socialism, if you would like to return to your Bernie Sanders safe haven then please go to: https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/

Nazis are respectable to the extent that they adopted Nietzsche's philosophy. At the same time they are base for attempting to distort it and censor the genius.

This is all I feel it is worth saying about this.

Kind of sad if he is.

>>7512338
Why? I think he's pretty good.

his sophomoric pauses make me gag

>>7519987
Harry Potter

>>7519995
already read that

Lolita seems to be exactly what you are looking for.

I didn't think it made DFW look good at all. I thought the movie character came off as insecure, snarky, disingenuous and still nursing and ugly addiction to TV. I don't think any thinking adult could watch that and think "wow DFW was such a hero."

>>7518775

You should ask Bret Easton Ellis about it.

>>7518775
Great movie about writing and writers, sits next to Wonder Boys on my shelf.

/lit/ is sexist and contrarian. They hate her because she is female and because she is popular.

>>7518471
You may agree or disagree with her philosphical or political ideas but her prose is utter shit.

I've only read Atlas shrugged though.

>tomorrow
my country celebrates on the 24th, in fact my parents just went home.

They only got me some clothes, which is fine, I told them years ago to stop buying me random books and they don't know how to order English books from amazon anyway.

I'm picking up more books in January myself I guess but not sure what I want yet.
