I would definitely curl up against that radiator with a cup of tea to read.

I bought a kindle because a corporation told me I needed it because physical books are really unmanageable and expensive.

Can't believe how much better my life is now! I've read a couple pages of Crime and Punishment and 1984 but I torrented 9001 books.

lol @ stupid luddites who can't think for themselves

>I've read a couple pages of Crime and Punishment and 1984 but I torrented 9001 books
I've read about 30 books in the last two and a half months on my kindle.
Are you an actual retard?

Infinite Jest.
DFW.
Ayn Rand.
Kindles.

>bookshelves
>planned obsolescence

Sounds about right. Print media will be all but dead in 50 years time.

OP, im with you. Books> Ebooks and not trying to trolling. Theres not compares with the smell of paper, and the reading experience. For example you cant underline the text, you cant go to the page quickly when you want/need it, etc.

Misplaced nostalgia. Embrace the inevitable.

last time I checked my kindle had both a high lighter function and the ability to skip around to premarked sections.

plus with real books. slicing paper cuts on yo dick

>>2374983
Yo, dog, where's my hover craft skateboard? Why don't I live like The Jetsons? Why don't cars float around and shit? Why wasn't the year 2001 just like the movie 2001?

Oh, right, because all of our predictions about the future are always fucking retarded and way off the mark.

Go read some shitty sci-fi.

>>2374980
I was like you. But then e-readers liberated me. There's nothing like the feeling that you can get any book any time you want within seconds.

>>2374988
You mean, with kindles the radiation emitted slowly withers your balls and gives you prostate cancer.

Just embrace the futures! Buy gadgets! Other stupid people are doing! Just embrace it!

Can we make a chart of all the stupid /lit/ opinions that get spewed here on a daily basis?

>>2374994
There's nothing like that feeling of being content with not having everything you want.

There's nothing like that feeling of leaving your house.

There's nothing like that feeling of talking to a cute salesclerk and helping you find a book.

Jesus Christ. The e-fag mentality is retarded and autistic as fuck.

This is a 1/10 troll and a pretty unimaginative one at that.

>>2375002
You're the biggest idiot in this thread.

You like books more? Read books. You prefer an e-reader? Read your shit on an e-reader. Better is purely subjective here.

Eventually all of the overly sentimental assholes like you will die off, and soon after printed media will follow. Get over it. I'm sure there were a bunch of assholes who thought printed text was ungodly and refused to give up their handwritten manuscripts for a few decades after it became obsolete, too.

>>2374995
everything gives off radiation dummy, even rocks!

Hey Jacques hows life as a deconstruction worker lol

>>2375022
> appeals to subjectivity
> hurdy gurdy I bet blah blah look at me argue my retarded point

It's not an issue of sentiment, it's an issue of intellect. You're clearly a cretin or an angry viral marketer.

DO I BELIEVE THE PERVERSION MINE EYES HATH WITNESSED IN THIS THREAD?!

look guize i am a new tripfriend!

Hey Jacques i bet you play jenga backwards hehe

You cant compare a first edition of a good book with the same in an ereader. Also, the book is a thing with its own life, It doesnt depend of any battery to exist; can pass through time without becoming obsolete. Big difference with any ereader that will be obsolet in ten years.

Hey Jacques, Jacques, i guess you dont own ducttape because instead of joining things together you like taking them apart rofl

>>2375053
What you just said was gay.

My gimmick is that i hate ereaders and would like to squeeze all the enjoyment out of those who don't.

>>2375057
I love your argument.

Hey Jacques when you were a kid other children wouldn't like to let you near their lego constructions because you would pick them apart lmao

> mfw you e-fags haven't even read my book Archive Fever

Plebs gon pleb. Go play with your slap chops. You guys are mickey mouse. You guys are small time.

Hey Jacques I think your favorite song is like Eve of Deconstruction lulz

You recognize his name, we get it. Jesus christ..

You have to ask yourself if this is really worth it.

But that's horribly untidy, OP. Why are people so lazy?

I remember reading an excerpt of yours in another book where you babbled total nonsense about "Einsteinian variability" and since have had no desire to read you. I suspect you're a bullshit peddler, Derrida.

Hey Jacques: I like that you like Freud. Not so hot on the Heidegger. Archive Fever is da bomb yo. plebs gon get febrile over the delete key now that eveyone is the archivist of their own lives.

>>2375161
I peddle drugs.

Meet me at Kafka's grave in a half hour.

>>2375207
>3:08 in Prague
>implying the New Jewish Cemetery is open.

I've been reading some really intriguing work by Derrideans in the field of critical race theory. Who would've thunk commentary on alterity could be extracted from the little man?

>>2375212
Don't frame me, bro! Foucault, help a nigga out!

Drug trafficking is so out of character for me. I would never do such a thing.
