thehoodie posted:Holy ugh, this article makes me mad. I only read part of it but yeah this is what every reader has done since the dawn of time I'm sure... Read a bit here read a bit there, pretend you read everything? also the "aliteracy" part annoys me cause to me the wilfulness and the declaration of it are the "important" parts. "I don't read & I'm proud of it." Otherwise Aliteracy is just a smugger way to say Illiteracy I could probably brag about not reading Ayn Rand, but I really don't care to do so & also I had to think for a bit before I could name a writer that I won't read. Being loud about it is weird and dumb

I thought Heartbreaking was alright when I read it 15 years ago but I've never had any desire to check out anything else Eggers wrote.

Do any translations exist where the author already published their own? Like an author publishes a book in his mother tongue, then releases a translated version internationally. Then the author dies and someone else makes a new translation. Has that ever happened at all? Any languages, really, the idea just showed up

derp posted:--did everyone really write dialogue like this in 1917, derp asked intelligently Starting lines of dialogue with a dash is super common  unless it's the sentence continuing afterwards that's freaking you out?Herman Bang wrote like that too: quote:–Satan, Satan, sagde Lange hvert Minut med voksende inderlige Betoninger, han havde knebet Berg baade gul og grøn i Armen. –Satan, Satan, said Lange every minute in increasingly passionate tones; he had pinched Berg's arm both yellow and green. –Satan, Satan....

CestMoi posted:It#s the birthday of the greatest author the world has ever seen that's right Jorge Luis Borges. Everyobne read his nonfiction and poetry because they are also good even tho people mostly talk about the short stories which are amazing. Remember to post quotes from him as your twitter and facebook statuses so evertyone knows who he is and that he said things like "Hollywood has just enriched tyhis frivolous museum of taratology: by means of a perverse artifice they call dubbing" All the books from all the libraries in all the worlds come in and throw a HUGE party!!!

badass i read about Cyprianus black books a while ago and thought it sounded cool (so dangerous that if you accidentally read some of it, you have to read backwards to get out of it, like whoa) but when I actually read one it was anticlimactic as heck. Just a bunch of formulaic prayers

i dont mean to call you out but i would think a museum would want to keep an actual 15th century book made out of human blood and skin. there arent a lof of those, you know? probably the guy embellished a little? e: apparently one from the 16th century & then it jumps to 19th: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropodermic_bibliopegy

Franchescanado posted:Probably wasn't a museum, then. To add to the unbelievable events, the man that did the assessment was in a car accident after examining the book, hence his insistance to return it immediately. Yea i dont doubt your account at all, i doubt the guy's account. The assessor getting into a car accident lends credence to the story though

Ras Het posted:I can't say that I know anything about this subject, but a quick Google suggests that there's only a handful of books bound in human skin known, none of them anything as interesting as a Bible, and the earliest known binding is from the 19th century check out the wikipedia link i posted earlier, theres one book from the 16th century and then like 5+ from the 19th. not a good look for books imo
