book mats: order

book mats: if you're the guy pissing double digit share orders in the mpoe

funkenstein_: wow that looks like a mega-review, consistent with his recommendation for
book reviewers linked earlier :)
BingoBoingo: He published in
book form a bunch of shit he got being one of the few people Nixon could talk Football with
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mind that these anecdotes in no way diminish the
book mircea_popescu: "the editors" organized "on the other hand a good deal of reviewing, especially of novels, might well be done by amateurs. Nearly every
book is capable of arousing passionate feeling, if it is only a passionate dislike, in some or other reader, whose ideas about it would surely be worth more than those of a bored professional"
mircea_popescu: the solution lies in getting
book reviewing out of the hands of hacks. Books on specialised subjects ought to be dealt with by experts, and on the other hand a good deal of reviewing, especially of novels, might well be done by amateurs. Nearly every
book is capable of arousing passionate feeling, if it is only a passionate dislike, in some or other reader, whose ideas about it would surely be worth more than those of
mircea_popescu: "The great majority of reviews give an inadequate or misleading account of the
book that is dealt with. Since the war publishers have been less able than before to twist the tails of literary editors and evoke a paean of praise for every
book that they produce, but on the other hand the standard of reviewing has gone down owing to lack of space and other inconveniences. Seeing the results, people sometimes suggest that
mircea_popescu: (commie romania had weirdo "to buy x you must also buy y" quota system to prop up the central economy. that particular
book was outrageous in a country nobodyu owned as much as a raft, let alone yachts. so it became symbolic)
mircea_popescu: "Three of these books deal with subjects of which he is so ignorant that he will have to read at least 50 pages if he is to avoid making some howler which will betray him not merely to the author (who of course knows all about the habits of
book reviewers), but even to the general reader. "
Adlai: well that's why
book buying needs a wot just as much as pretty much anything else
mircea_popescu: "Meanwhile, what is the actual amount that the British public spends on books? I cannot discover any figures, though no doubt they exist. But I do know that before the war this country was publishing annually about 15,000 books, which included reprints and school books. If as many as 10,000 copies of each
book were sold–and even allowing for the school books, this is probably a high estimate-the average person was on
Adlai: "i don't think i smoked enough to pay for a decent
book" << as though books are priced by content and not... who knows
mircea_popescu: i don't think i smoked enough to pay for a decent
book in those tobacco prices.
Adlai: but a single piano is more expensive than most
book collections
mircea_popescu: The books that I have counted and priced are the ones I have here, in my flat. I have about an equal number stored in another place, so that I shall double the final figure in order to arrive at the complete amount. I have not counted oddments such as proof copies, defaced volumes, cheap paper-covered editions, pamphlets, or magazines, unless bound up into
book form. Nor have I counted the kind of junky books-old schoo
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-08-2015#1234555 << i was reading a "
book" written by some romanian twerp who thinks himself famous (stand up comedian / singer), sent to me by retired whore (really, if you whore and can't retire by 25 or so, you're too stupid to live) of my generation, for the purpose of "see mr p, i told you the kids are fucktarded". ie, kids, the next set.

n6: and the unix
book you told me about.
funkenstein_: "Rev. Ivan Stang originally planned on suing the authors for plagiarizing content from the
Book of the SubGenius, but then realized that Principia Discordia had been written several decades earlier and that the
Book of the SubGenius had technically plagiarized Principia Discordia"
mircea_popescu: phf it's funny to me, as a purely unconvinced observer of "culture" as a feeding epiphenomena, to notice just how fundamentally workable the whole species is. does it want a war ? it'll fucking fix the demographics and get it, and you can write any
book you want - it'll help!
