delhi
yeah another friend recommended that. i will add one book for that then fk it. Along with a strong rope as backup.
Nice. I was just joking. I just bought a Neal Stephenson novel at CP for cheap last week. They're long and nice. See if you can buy Cryptonomicon
bsdk, salon, pahrai kalro yahan time barbad karne se acha.
maybe get an e-reader then.
What it's like trying to convince old white people to buy gift cards all day? Do you enjoy it?
Minimum wage and you still buy books?
Yes why not. Min wage doesnt mean im too dumb to read books
No, you are moronic. libgen exists and you're buying books with the limited money you have. I don't even mean this Sarcastically, no, I think you're 100% an actual moron from the bottom of my heart.
Jeez. Some Black folk discover libgen and think they're the shit
CONSOOOOOOOOOOOM MOOOOOOREEEEEEE
Congrats on the folder of epubs you're never going to read bro
enjoying paying money for what amount to decorations you pretend you've read?
Sounds like projection at all the epub files you’ll never read. I don’t care about decorations, I only buy books to read.
I'm not so much of a pseud I feel the need to display books I've read as some sort of decoration like a woman would. I'll just stick to humbly downloading and ingesting knowledge. Enjoy your "live laugh love" I guess.
i cant read on a monitor
My salary is $120k, and I can't remember the last book I actually bought. The one thing poor people have in common is they're bad with money.
You people are legitimately mentally ill
Do you also steal from supermarkets?
I found Red Rising to be a really fun, propulsive story, and it's 6 books. It has a goofy premise, but once you get over that it gets good and the second book and on are also a big jump over the first.
War and Peace is surprisingly easy to listen to. It has big ideas but not hard to follow prose. Fancier prose can be difficult for listening.
The Darkness That Comes Before is also a great series although it's a little too violent for some people.
Hyperion is another really good sci-fi and has a great narrator.
The Black Company is also good, but I only liked the first two books.
Game of Thrones is also a good entertaining time sink.
It's better to unemployed and poor but free then being in a job you hate just for money, don't waste your precious time on this earth doing a job you hate to get money for pointless rubbish.
Easy for you to say mr 80k a year white man
i am unemployed and live off £200 a month after rent, many times even less, it's a fine life if you escape the desire to have things you don't even need. More time to read, go on walks, expand the mind etc.
You don't need any of this shit society says you need, humans lived with very little for the mass majority of human history, and yet they were happy, our desire for more and more has made us slaves.
>N-n-n-no! I enjoy eating 10 cent ramen and white rice once a day as my only food for the entire day!
lmao
I eat better than that, buy in bulk to save money, also the 3 meal a day thing is bullshit too, that is why people are fat as frick these days, it isn't natural.
have a treat every now and then such as chocolate but avoid alcohol as it poisons not only the body but the mind too, you won't even miss the luxuries you had before after a while.
If you want to watch something, download it, same with other media.
What device do you use to access IQfy? Desktop, mobile, or laptop, & do you the same device for reading as well.
What are your top 5 reading recommendations?
a cheap old computer, i read physical books, my reading recommendations:
Epictetus discourses and enchiridion(oxford or penguin versions)
Marcus Aurelius Meditations(gregory hayes)
Musonius rufus lectures(Stoic Gym)
The cynic philosophers(penguin)
George Orwell, road to Wigan pier. Sometimes i read books in PDF format, but find reading physical books more enjoyable honestly.
>I eat better than that
>on $200 dollars a month
I noticed you didn't specify what you eat. Just saying.
Mainly sausages, chips, microwavable meals such as curry, pasta, and bread pretty cheap if bought in bulk, also £200, not $200, not a yank.
You're a stoic. That explains a lot.
I'm inclined that way i guess but i don't really consider myself anything.
>I need books to keep my mind occupied. So shit that really draws you in and transports you to another world.
Just get into fantasy and sci-fi and go get immersed into those 10 book series that are 1000 pages each.
>Makes minimum wage, that too in India. (grim)
>Has bought a 4chinz pass for 1600 rupees.
Bhai kya chutiya aadmi hai tu.
Making min wage is your dharma, sir
Read bhagavad gita
R u a Dalit??
This book will take you into another world and have you contemplating if we might suffer a similar fate.
This is the only book that I regret not reading the trigger warnings, the main character is absolutely vile, humanity has become immortal, she finds no value in anything so she tortures herself, lops off her head, has a red anthill put on her flayed skin for shits and giggles.
You will be disgusted but you will feel something.
> "The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect" is a bizarre, thought-provoking, extreme sci-fi novel about classic Singularity with plenty of controversial subjects (no amount of "trigger warnings" would help here!) and radical ideas about trans-humanism and extropianism.
> This book contains everything you would ever NOT want. Child-murderers and molesters, snuff, incest, descriptive sex scenes, brutal gore and torture. Yet it all has a point: to show that even with a seemingly benevolent superintelligent AI who is doing its best to serve humanity, it still results in absolute meaninglessness and, in the end, misery.
> Diamond-in-the-rough doesn't even begin to describe what this book is. MOPI is the best sci-fi book I have read. Ever. Ever. The idea is not unique; the writing-style flawed; and the plot-line cluttered. But by god this book will take a sledge-hammer to your head and destroy the last vestige of innocence you may have had and open you up to infinite possibilities at the same time.
