Knowledge Will Set You Free
Welcome to your new home for books and book accessories.
>What is this place?
A place of learning, sharing and discussing books, essays and manuscripts. Its main purpose is to give anons a way to cooperate in the pursuit of knowledge, especially as far as it concerns practical matters via digital books.
>What can I post here?
This board allows all kinds of material that can be read, be it books, magazines and comics. Veering off-topic is allowed, as long as it doesn't constitute a hurdle for anons who just want to discuss about a certain resource.
You can choose to upload books either through dropping files in the allotted box, or, as for external links and more sensitive material, using an Encoded Link. There are plenty of ways to do so, so just pick whichever you want.
>I'm writing/translating a book/story/visual novel, can I discuss here?
Certainly so. Discussions about tools and web resources are also welcome.
>What about requesting a book?
Requests go into the cyclical Request Thread, unless a thread is created to discuss a particular genre, in which case it's alright to ask for some resources over there as well.
A small note: while censorship in all its forms is frowned upon, any material that may compromise the existence of the board, and of the IB as a whole, will be deleted, and its poster banned. Besides, everyone already knows where to get those.

Anti-LGBTq pdfs (request)
Anyone have any pdfs from the old days (before 1980) that mentions a link between homosexuality and pedophilia, or homosexuals being raised by single moms/ no men in their upbringing? Like those old un pc books that would have been banned for being "misinformed", "a total lie" or "anti-homophobic"? Almost every book now is pro gays but at one point in time there had to have been books against it.

Covid-19 Molecular Diagnostic Testing — Lessons Learned
I'll just leave this here. PubMed doesn't have fulltext.
TL;DR: "Covid-19 diagnostic tests may be less accurate in asymptomatic or low-risk populations and in persons who shed little virus or are early or late in the course of illness. Even if a test were 98% sensitive and 99% specific, it would still produce a false negative result in 2 of every 100 people infected. If we test 5 million Americans daily and only 1% of them have Covid-19, a total of 1000 positive cases will be missed, which increases the risk of spread, and another 49,500 people will receive false positive results."

Ender's game is a good book. It has many very good life lessons in it.
PS: it has many prequels and sequels but don't read them, you'll get the point just by reading this book.

Writing Tips
I have written some short tales back in high school, but i have always had troubles doing more "grounded" works, like essays. Do you have any schematics from which to develop the main ideas? Also exercises with the same purpose as free writing would be appreciated.

Seeking To Write My Own Stories
Newfag here.
I'm wanting to get into writing fiction and even fanfiction as a hobby, but I also want to put my own works on PDF, particularly the original stuff.
Any tips on how to convert Word documents to PDF's? Are there any free or open-source PDF maker programs out there?

Cerebral Literature
I like cerebreal literature---anything heady, that makes one think old thoughts in new ways, or new thoughts. Specifically, I like the more abstract (meta-) mathematics, analytic philosophy, tightly-written fiction, alternate history (irregarding truth to this world),, speculative literature. (Don't worry about whether it's already well known, not everyone knows everything about everything.)
