i have begun to scan in some of the material people have requested. in order to ensure fairness and timeliness, i will be scanning in chunks of the material in rounds.
i will be using dropbox as my filesharing platform.

Not the same anon but I will dare present you with a few items from my list of things I cannot find as ebooks. Mind you, these are not obscure or very expensive; perhaps nobody has taken up the effort of digitizing them so far, or maybe I don't know where to look:
B.S. Johnson - anything
Unica Zürn - anything
Raymond Queneau - Zazie in the Metro - has to be in English
Blaise Cendrars - Moravagine - has to be in English
The Man in the Black Coat: Russia's Literature of the Absurd
Any of Daniil Kharms' children books (ok, this one's really a stretch)
Thank you kindly. Regardless of results, this is a very nice thing of you to do and I hope your kindness returns to you tenfold.

>>9343699
a pleasure. request at will.
>>9343780
for sure. a little backlogged with requests--i'll try to intersplice when i can, but i'll get on it.
>>9343282
hey, thanks rapture
request: curves to the apple - rosmarie waldrop
also, can you do the rest of the Milosz book? :D
take your time ofc, months if you need
ty ty!
>>9343780
Daniil Kharm! can't find anything by him anywhere
-_-
Paranoia is fucking me up, don't know why but I have the slight impreasion that OP is answering to himself.
>>9343816
i got you. tired, gonna finish for tonight, but it's added to the list.
>>9343831
yeah, you're paranoid. stop.
this should be /lit/. thanks op.
>>9343460
there is some way to put the pages in straight (vertical) mode?
>>9343282
BTW, OP, feel free to flag up anything you’ve read and liked.
>>9343819
I know, anon. As I said, it was a huge stretch anyway. There are three or four of his collected short texts editions in English out there and I have them all, but his children's books, although translated in English, are not to be found in any of the places I know. I suppose nobody has undertaken to scan them. I'm keeping the hope alive though.
>>9343311
i think that's even better, i love marginalia
>>9343802
really looking foward to read this one

Why are the mods on this board so fucking useless? Do they just sleep?
I'm tired of dealing with rotten human beings. I am truly happy to share what I have- but here's the new condition: I'll post everything everyone wants as soon as these assholes are banned from my thread.
this thread is a great reminder that tripfags are cancerous faggots who should only be replied to if it's to tell them to fuck off.
look, I'm speaking directly to any moderator who perceives this here post. i request my own position of power on this board, or at least powers to ban people who impersonate me and de-rail my threads. i ask this as you seem incompetent or at least now in waking hours during my correspondence with /lit/.
if you cannot grant me this, then you shall be at risk of losing a poster of great intellectual value.
this agreement will be mutually beneficial, of that you have my utmost assurance.

>>9346778
good job anon, you've outed him as problematic, now we can all hate him without feeling bad that he might be progressive or something.
how many books have you read anon? Is it literally all you do? do you have some secret to read so much so quickly?
>>9346791
>>9346792
fuck it. war of attrition and you've won. i'm too tired to pursue any of this further.
i'll post again in another 3 years or so.
i apologize to anyone who wanted more. i am unwilling to participate in such inhuman contexts.
it's been real, gentlemen.
>>9346796
i've read around 20 books.
based on my past pace i hope to read the rest of my 15000 volume collection sometime over the next 3 months.
>>9346772
Shut the fuck up. This isn't your personal board nor can you give any demand.
Do this out of kindness and accept that their will be assholes who will criticize you, just like there will be people who will be grateful.
You should have learned that from reading enough literature.
>>9346807
see you in 2 months anon
>>9346796
i don't mean to brag, but before my cancer diagnosis I was already of a mental sharpness superior to that of my intellectual peers. the freedom of time has allowed me to reach an almost eudaimonic life, and sharpened my mind to levels beyond what is seen as possible for most men. i suppose i am something of a savant, except even in social matters i achieve more than most.
>>9346813
that's not me, but it doesn't matter. their tactics have been to just use my name and post like me.
whatever, as i said, i'm done. they have won. whether that makes them right--i am not sure. i don't quite understand any of it, but so be it.
goodbye, /lit!
>>9346809
you could just answer
also, have any books on philosophy of history? thoughts on Spengler?(if you read him)
>>9346824
hey, thanks, man--just made an account. gonna check it out. you seem pretty cool--hope to see you on there...
>>9346828
>>9346829
wow, thanks! i really appreciate the invite. logging on now.
>>9346824
>>9346828
>>9346829
what the fuck is this fucking shit
>>9346772
>(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)
nice, that's a seldom sight nowadays
>>9346772
wow I have never seen a user banned on /lit/. does this mean we have mods now?
can't wait for my book to be posted. Thanks so much OP.
PS: the scans are fine . Do you people even download from libgen ? half of it is scanned exactly the same way.
>>9346846
Hey man, I've just finished checking your library. If you're still around I have some requests...
