>>8186131
did too

you read a (bad (more than usual)) self help book. grats.

>>8186140
I guess you have a point, it didn't make me want to better myself at all or anything, I found the story interesting though

>>8186148
Well at least you didn't want to better yourself afterwards. That's all that counts in the end.

>>8186140
is it "legal" to use () inside ()?

>>8186380
style guides generally say you should use [] inside () but i was lazy

>>8186380
Yes, but, unless you have a reason to, you should probably avoid it.

I'm honestly slightly impressed at your give-no-fucks attitude.

I liked how this book had no characters and the message was basically "be yourself." 10/10 would line my birdcage with it again.

A girl who wants my dick and knows I read constantly snaps me holding this book.

>>8187612
Actually it's more about happiness.You already have it,you needn't search for it or some shit.It was cool when i was younger but now it's not that exciting of an experience.

>>8186130
the worst book i've ever read

>>8187612
>the message was basically "be yourself."

It doesn't even say that. It says "do nothing and everything will happen the way it's supposed to". It's one of the most banal and unfulfilling morals in any story I've ever read.

I'm still mad that I bought this book instead of renting it or downloading a PDF.

>tfw you think it's okay, and a good intro for people trying to get into reading

Christ, I bought this last week (at a charity bookshop for 99p) because I'm interested in alchemy, how bad is it?

Utter drivel

>honestly slightly impressed

>>8189435
Have you ever wanted to transmute paper and effort into ink and shit?

>>8187620
don't allow her to touch you

I thought it was pretty sweet, feck the haters. His Witch of Portobello was a lot better though

>>8189928
For an Irishman you have poor taste.

>>8186130
You just read the damn book, why don't you give us your thoughts instead of seeking approval?

>>8186130
I read it in middle school and from what I remember I thought it was a lame self help book with pseudo-spirituality and inapplicable advices for life.
