I actually prefer this. Footnotes on the page are ugly

Those are called endnotes dude

Nice get but you're wrong

very nice

stop footnoting my post faggots

It's decided then.
Parker Wilson
I guess that closes this topic.
Blake Ross
Absolutely correct. If you say otherwise you're saying House of Leaves is a superior work to Pale Fire and Infinite Jest

If I like impressionist art more than realist art, that doesn't mean I have to like a shitty impressionist painting more than a realist masterpiece.

>author expects the reader to understand the intricacies of fine cuisine in pre-twentieth-century belarus, with specific regard to the effect the economy of the 14th century polish-lithuanian commonwealth had on working class food habits even following the third partition of poland, and doesn't bother elaborating on the changes brought to this economy by the russian empire's acquisition of belarusian territories, despite spending two chapters completely dismissing the popular historical claim that the cultural polonisation of belarus affected not only the language and religion of the region but also the culinary traditions across all class divisions

every fucking time.

>Author, who is a "philosopher of culture" begins his book on racial relations with the words "Firstly, before I dig into this so very delicate and complex subject matter, I probably should point out that indeed, a great deal of my terminology is derived directly from the works of Jacques Lacan, the great and renowned french psychoanalyst, who has always had a huge influence on my own work"

>Satan likes endnotes
Not surprised

infinite jest doesn't belong in the same breath as pale fire

Pale Fire is dogshit.

impressive. very nice

>All the photos are printed in 10 pages in the middle of the book, even though some of them correspond to passages on the first page and some of them spoil the ending.
Hudson Martinez
Goddammit I love this board.
Jason Davis
>Infinite Jest
The copy of Infinite Jest I once borrowed used endnotes not footnotes. Which endlessly frustrated me when he would constantly make me go all the way to the back of that monstrous book, just to find out he used an obscure term for a type of drug... Again!
Blake Mitchell
Fuck off, double satan!
Nolan Morgan
Apparently in hell all footnotes are made into endnotes. Sounds about right

I will ruin your religious dispute by being a lowly empiricist who informs you that long footnotes are almost always unmanageable by software automation, and have to be dealt with by hand after every significant edit or design change.
Therefore, it's the invisible hand of the market that decides what to use, not Satan.

Christian Lewis
Very, very nice.
Noah Powell
Makes me sick. I have an edition of war and peace that has all the footnotes and French translations at the back. It’s nearly impossible to read
