Any euros here that know where to get The Recognitions, without paying huge shipping costs? I'm in Belgium if it helps. I tried bol.com, who had 8 weeks to ship, then prolonged that with 4 weeks, to cancel my order and give me my money back after 12 weeks.
>tfw orderd The Recognitions for 18 euros, waiting 12weeks, then having it canceled.
Amazon.de doesn't have it anymore and i saw a secondhand copy there go for 397euros.
Also: who remembers the memequads?
You can download it from the internet
But i want to read it as a book, not of my screen.
No discussion there.
Use Amazon.com and rev up those creditcards user

I hereby declare you an American. You will receive your copy of Infinite Jest, a "George R.R is the best writer to exist" T-shirt, and a complimentary hamburger on your way out.

for people not living in france but who want to buy a book from a frenchman, they can ask for the good to be sent via the tariff LIVRES ET BROCHURES (it must be written, on the parcel, by the seller).
laposte.fr
feco-france.fr
you wouldnt find it there because it had about 4 copies printed ever in europe
Then it doesn't exist. Simple as that.
Any Veeky Forums germans here, that know how good the Dostoevsky translations of Hermann Röhl are?
I feel like I should read Atlas Shrugged based solely on the fact that I played and enjoyed Bioshock.
Is it worth the read?
Don't fall for the American literature meme, buy some good books from your country instead
ok I guess, but get the Swetlana Geier ones if you can afford them
Check out AbeBooks. There should be a few for around £10 (dunno how much that is in €).
not everyone wants to read on a screen
What's the point in pursuing any kind of artistic endeavour if no one will give a shit?
There's just too much people wanting to stand out.
Blue-pill me on this one Veeky Forums.
There's the fact that barely any of the writers we think of as famous enjoyed the kind of standing in their own day that they enjoy now. Melville died obscure remember
Just bought pic related. Which order should I read them in?
>inb4 chronological
I've heard that At Swim-Two-Birds is his best and I don't want to read the best one first.
You're better off chronological if you have that edition (as do I) but if you want start with Poor Mouth. Dalkey Archive is comfy but a reworking of Policeman
Thanks, guess I'll read them chronologically.
You are forgetting all of those that never made it out from their obscurity, those that we'll never know about.
Is Laurence Sterne more generally viewed as an Irish or English writer?
What writers are similar to Bolaño? I'm running low on Mariachi Pynchon's material.

Us potatoe niggers got it on lock. Probably our sense of humour and obsession with death senpai

Anyone know any bookstores in London that are sure to have it? I'm taking a trip in January so i might as well pick it up while i'm there.
Our melancholic on the dreary yet beautiful outlook on life. Coupled with the triage of catholicism, gaelic and resentment make for great writers.

Can anyone explain how to appreciate an author's "take" on Aesthetic theory/philosophy? At least in relationship to Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (currently reading) and In Search of Lost Time (reading next)?
Damn I got mine delivered to the UK from America via AbeBooks for £9.41 (including postage and packaging) a couple months ago. It came pretty quick too - within a week.
