Floatsam Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share It's still legible, no? Are you implying that you would care more about reading it if it were new? Quote Link to comment
Ghuxalia Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share It's perfectly legible. Except for the cover. The picture wore off a long time ago (I assume). But I prefer older, more worn hardcover books to the newer paperbacks. Quote Link to comment
Uralica Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share As long as it's a novel and not a linguistics textbook. Did a paper on Bashkir once and had to do it based on a rather... archaic grammar. The language itself was/is obviously not archaic, but the way in which the phonetic transcriptions and morphological paradigms were described left me having to make educated guesses all over the place.

Stonewall Jaxon Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share The green light is a metaphor. Nobody ever told me about that. Which green light? Quote Link to comment
abdur Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Nobody ever told me about that. Which green light? The one Gatsby looks at in the book. Quote Link to comment
Ghuxalia Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share It's at the very end of chapter 1. The last two paragraphs. Quote Link to comment
