The Powys Mathers book is a collection of translated southeast asian poetry, translated in the early 1900's; Steinbeck quotes it in his novel Cannery Row. Based on other things I've read, I'm not sure how much of it is actual translation and how much of it is stuff Mathers is writing himself and calling "translations." quote:The plain book is an old library copy of a very handsome volume of translated Baudelaire from the 1930's, which I may have said "oh my god, oh poo poo" as I cracked open: Charles Dillon was Edna St. Vincent Millay's lover and they worked on those translations together during their affair; I'm not aware of a translation that compares, but you can only find it in old out of print editions, for some reason there's no current publication. I keep having to buy new copies because friends keep stealing my old ones. quote:The four books at the top left are a complete (YA?) fantasy series, and that cover with Sickbed Otter on #2 is immediately a huge favorite of mine: That was my attempt at the self-published request. That particular series is . . . I remember reading it at like age 12 because the school library had it and back in the early 90's there just wasn't much out there in terms of fantasy. As far as I can tell it's one of the very, very earliest of the Tolkien knockoff attempts, almost hypnotically bad and full of extremely bizarre authorial choices that would never get published today. I haven't read it in 30 years though so maybe it's good? Hieronymous Alloy fucked around with this message at 15:58 on Dec 26, 2022 |

Antivehicular posted:Fantastic! I've been needing a new "read in the living room and aggressively quote terrible sentences at loved ones" series, so if they're that bad, great, and if they turn out good, also great. Thanks! post about it either way, part of my brain is still convinced I hallucinated it

Apparently some of y'all who got puzzle pieces -- there may be some "hint codes" in the backs of the books you received also, which may be helpful clues!
