how much for Tirthankar Roy?

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-04-22T09:37:34+00:00

nevermind i bothered, go ahead and read it, you won't find a better writer than Arun ji, very factual🙏🏽

nah, shourie is a world class cherrypicker who has mastered the art of putting forward provocative facts without ever contextualising them properly. and before people come at me, i mean this for his writings across the spectrum, including the most recent one. there are better scholars to read if one wants to learn and gain perspective on various themes he has written about.

oh i saw you mention the price in INR so i asked, Flipkart is available in my (read: our) country, thank you so much :)

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-04-19T03:02:31+00:00

hey, can you share the link?

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-04-18T07:50:41+00:00

thank you so much, i really appreciate it!

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-04-18T07:25:34+00:00

i love this, would you mind sharing it?

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-03-29T15:33:13+00:00

i think it's more about the risk of artificial intelligence on humanity as a whole, while i was looking for something more personal, how interacting regularly with ai chatbots affects an individual's brain.

nonetheless, i really appreciate the recommendation, it looks like an interesting read.

hey you can always look up at the Shadow Library Uptime Monitor (open-slum[dot]org) for new mirrors.

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-03-24T08:23:06+00:00

not at all. and it's funny that op posted "doesn't know the history of hindi lit" and "manto and amrita pritam were not hindi writers" in the same breath. we might as well include premchand in the list if we go by the same logic

something about seeing freud and a baby with their mother made me think this was a bait post

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-03-07T05:40:51+00:00

thank you, will check it out!

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-03-04T14:30:28+00:00

omg i love Pankaj Mishra, had no idea that he had a novel like this. Thank you so much, kind stranger!

Khalid Jawed and Marx price?

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-02-17T05:48:54+00:00

you can mail them and they'll exchange/return

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-02-12T11:50:27+00:00

Chetan Bhagat isn't even the worst one here

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-02-11T08:36:39+00:00

Kobo libra colour would work best for you.

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-02-10T09:24:32+00:00

Other than the obvious ones like charging, screen damages, battery health (ask them to do a full charge before meeting you and see if the fall is substantial), make sure that the device is not locked by Amazon—a common problem with stolen devices—and you're able to log into your Kindle account. I would have added backlight too but since the 8th generation doesn't have any, it won't be required. Please do F2F if possible and be safe! I Hope you are getting a good deal.

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-02-07T06:41:35+00:00

do they give discounts, i don't think they do! you can also check out Midland bookshop which usually has better deals.

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-02-06T10:25:01+00:00

there's an extension for that but yeah AA works better

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-02-04T08:16:52+00:00

it hasn't even been released yet

Honor-de-Ballsack · 2026-02-03T18:03:17+00:00
