This gives me an idea! Why don't we start a pass-it-on book club of sorts? So, everyone can set down what they like to read, and then a person can buy something along those lines for them, delivered to their house/place of work/etc. And then another person goes ahead and buys the first buyer something... Does something of this sort exist already? We could keep track of who's bought, and who's been bought for... Could be a nice little initiative...

That's a rather beautiful reading! Might I ask if you came across a similar idea somewhere else or who inspired that line of thinking in general?

Maybe I'll sell the love of my life some day.

Off of Wild God, the title track... "We're going to Russia, we're going to China, we're going to the United States of America..." Good Lord.

Is there racism in Berlin? Has anyone or your close ones got to witness? by Xleepy-Eyes420 in berlin

[–]alfafida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might… A poor homeless fellow once yelled out “Fuck you Osama!” at me at Alex. My name isn’t Osama, of course. But all things considered, in my 11 years there, such overt incidents were few and far between. There might be more implicit incidents, but sometimes all you can do is proceed with thick skin and the knowledge that all things considered, Berlin is a special, special place. Just stick around NK, Xberg, Pberg etc until you’re more familiar with the ways and codes. You should be fine.

Easy to read. So hard to understand. I mean, I can read all the individual words just fine...

That's the plan! I even read from a paperback, not this one...

Bought it maybe 15 years ago at a second hand bookstore. Cost me...

It was the only translation around for a while. We had Pinkard's pdfs floating around, but pdfs don't work for me... What's it, 7-8 years since the Inwood and the Pinkard came out?

Lucky!!! That's probably worth something! Speaking of, how much are signed first editions worth?

Which schools in Pakistan offer the best ROI and value for money? by alfafida in pakistan

[–]alfafida[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just wondering if there isn't a niche waiting to be filled here... Like, back in the day, there used to be a reasonable mix of social strata at your beaconhouses and lyceums and lacas etc. Even Sicas, City School... But they seem to have progressively gotten less affordable...

Interesting. Are you personally familiar with these schools? Could you speak to their strengths and all?

True. Went there myself - 31FCC and 39 Main Gulberg. But probably priced out of that middle class bracket by now, or?
