in response to the threads i previously made 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.
legal disclaimer: i intend to share this material under US fair use doctrine. i have purchased these books with personal finances and have scanned them in with personal labor. in no way, shape, or form do i intend any/all of this material to be used for commercial purposes; i do not desire any economic return, and reject entirely any economic benefit. i share this knowledge freely and openly for the purposes of criticism, commentary, and satire in a self-titled academic/literary context. i hope only to generate conversation and participate in the explicit purpose of Veeky Forums's /lit board: to share ideas and literature in a community of like-minded intellectuals committed to exploring aspects of history, philosophy, and theory. i do not endorse any use of this material beyond purely intellectual self-improvement/academic conversation.
will be posting more throughout the next several days. please refer to the previous aforementioned threads to request material--i will eventually scan in all requests.

Not the same user 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.

Bernard Williams, "Democracy and Ideology" (essay):
for sure. a little backlogged with requests--i'll try to intersplice when i can, but i'll get on it.
Adrian Moore
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!
Owen Miller
Daniil Kharm! can't find anything by him anywhere -_-
Benjamin Price
Paranoia is fucking me up, don't know why but I have the slight impreasion that OP is answering to himself.
Jaxon Ward
i got you. tired, gonna finish for tonight, but it's added to the list.
yeah, you're paranoid. stop.
Joseph Parker
this should be Veeky Forums. thanks op.
Jaxon Gray
there is some way to put the pages in straight (vertical) mode?
Carson Diaz
Thanks for the hard work friend.
Owen Murphy
BTW, OP, feel free to flag up anything you’ve read and liked.
Jason Miller
I know, user. 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.
Ayden Lewis
i think that's even better, i love marginalia
Ayden Perry
really looking foward to read this one

>poor scans, words missing >not paginated >not ocr'd >half are covered in annotations >majority are already on libgen you're a fucking moron

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little undergrad? I’ll have you know I graduated at the top of my class from every single Ivy League university, have been involved in numerous tech, consulting, financial, and law firms, and have over 300 books on my Amazon wishlist at any one time. I am trained in library science and I am the top archivist in the entire US Library of Congress lending network. You are nothing to me but just another philistine. I will wipe you the fuck out with dialectics the likes of which have never been seen before on this board, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of rare book dealers across the USA and your Barnes & Nobles receipts are being tracked right now so you better prepare for the intellectual storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your collection. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can scan and share PDFs in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with the stack of hardbacks I carry around at all times. Not only am I extensively trained in book-trading, but I have access to the entire inventory of every top colleges' library in the US and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of Veeky Forums, you little amateur. If only you could have known what enlightened bibliothecography your little “modest” collection was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have put down your fucking camera. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn dilettante. I will shit shelfies all over you and you will drown in them. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Jacob Gomez
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.
Oliver Allen
are you 11 years old
btw Veeky Forums has no mods

btw how's that phd program you've been in for 7 years
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 Veeky Forums.
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.

Nathan Gutierrez
how many books have you read user? Is it literally all you do? do you have some secret to read so much so quickly?
Tyler Anderson
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.
Ian Martinez
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.
Oliver Martinez
>i'll post again in another 3 years or so. how about just kill urself faget
Xavier Baker
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.
Samuel Thompson
see you in 2 months user
Joshua Cox
war of attrition because I could link atrocious posts you've made for the next week. nobody cares about all the books you have
Adrian Martinez
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.
Ryder Ortiz
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!
Dylan Nelson
you could just answer
also, have any books on philosophy of history? thoughts on Spengler?(if you read him)
Hudson Cooper
this board is dead rapture. Most of the good oldfags already migrated to discord.

James Sanchez
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.
Carson Jackson
