    I need that Swan Song Sub Press Edition. I got A Boy’s Life sub press yesterday for $200 bucks on a best offer option… there was an ongoing bid for one that ended today for way much more. I’m really upset I missed on this episode!! I’m trying to make up for the trolling I did btw😅 i got an idea in mind but it’s going to take some time and luck. 👀

      I should never invite the trolling!
      And $200???? For a SubPress Boy's Life?? Wow, that's a steal. Congrats. Last I saw, the SubPress numbered was going for $400. But that was a long time ago. I haven't checked in a while.

      OH BOY was I wrong--the last eBay sale of SubPress's edition of Swan Song went for $999.

    I'm not good at guessing things like those suntups. You guys are probably right, you know more than I do. If I were to guess, the only one I have an answer for is Confederacy of Dunces, and I'm probably far off with that. It's the only Pulitzer winner I know of off the top of my head.

    • @THEJEFFWORD

      Yeah the guesses are Beloved and To Kill A Mockingbird and I would take Confederacy of Dunces over those any day!

    Where can I find a Gothic hardcover book?

    • @THEJEFFWORD

      Well, there's the Earthling limited edition which is super pricey. And the Cemetery Dance trade edition which is more reasonable. But both hardcovers are out of print and only available on eBay and other spots on the secondary market. You can get a paperback from Cemetery Dance.

    Beloved is the same genre as TKaMB, southern gothic, the difference is that on the wikipedia page it even states the genre for TKaMB while on the page for BELOVED it does not. 😉
    Both of these novels are widely considered "non-genre" books, either way.. Personally i am not interested in TKaMB, it never really did it for me.

      Yeah both of those titles are outside what I'd like to collect. Though I loved To Kill a Mockingbird when I read it.

    Nobody's paying those student loans Jeff. Not you, not me, nobody. Because it's an arbitrary number. If you get a loan for 1k, pay back 2k, but still owe 900 and get that 900 forgiven no one is out anything because the number is made up. The loan has already been paid, the rest is just greed. And that's what is being forgiven. And besides, for every thou that people complain about there's something like a million in loans that some member of Congress had forgiven and everyone ignores that. I believe that was money someone should have paid but i think we wound up doing that. Don't think those were arbitrary the same way the school ones are.

      Yeah but now you've entered into a new discussion talking about the value of money. But I'm sorry those student loans were very real to me. I was making automatic payments on my student loan. $135 a month. But due to a miscommunication, they were charging me $150 a month. Even though those payments went through every month, that $15 difference added up and eventually they put it to collections. Again, I WAS PAYING EVERY MONTH and they still wrecked my credit and put me into collections over that $15. And I didn't even know about the mix up until I tried buying a house and the bank wouldn't loan me the money because I was in collections on my student loan. It was insane. I called a rep and we straightened it out in 10 minutes on the phone but my credit was torched and they said it would take a long time for that collection note to come off my credit. So the money is real. And I don't think people should pay for loans they didn't take out. Biden is blatantly buying votes with other people's money.

    What is Swan Song about?

    • @stevent5050
      @stevent5050 4 місяці тому

      In a sentence: Life coming back to the United States after nuclear war.

      What Steven said. Like The Stand, it deals with a post-apocalyptic America. Survivors finding their way through desolation. But there are supernatural forces at play as well.
