31 CommentsThe leaning tower of Lit Hum boxes has arrived!
A word of advice to 2013: first-years who actually buy these books new are fools. Go for many, many sources of used books, and thank us later – that is, unless the increased demand inflates prices, in which case 2012 can thank us instead. We’re flexible.

@Hey Bwog, Check out the article Vanity Fair did on the various economic situations of the Ivy League schools called “The Sad Suffering Ivy League”. We’re actually pretty well…I would post the url, but I’m not sure how to do the external link thing.
@you just paste in the url, the external link thing happens auto

@so you're flexible, eh? Maybe we should go for dinner and a movie, Bwog.
@Wtf? The mugger lost his shoes???

SECURITY ALERT
ATTEMPTED ROBBERY
On August 5, 2009 at about 12:10 a.m., a student was the victim of an attempted robbery on Morningside Ave. near W. 122St. The student was approached from behind by a male, who displayed an imitation pistol, and demanded the victim?s I-phone. When the student confronted the suspect about the imitation pistol, he fled from the scene, losing his sneakers while running away. The victim recovered his I-Phone and notified the police. The victim provided the following description:
Male/ black/16 yrs/5?7?/dark complexion/black shorts/dark blue shirt/white socks/ spoke with an accent that the victim believes is from a country in West Africa.
@ALERT Looks like Harvard’s trying to counterattack our “connection” with Columbia Sportswear:

@Questions When do lit hum and CC prof.s get announced?
also re: no.14: isn’t it ‘rites’?
@ummmm no, it’s ‘rights’. as in the right to brag about something.
‘rite’ is usually related to a ceremony: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rites
@what? you’ve never participated in the bragging rite? it is really a fine ceremony with many elaborate robes, speeches and certificates awarded.
@re: Questions August 7, supposedly. Bureaucracy pending.
@Bwog why no coverage on the shoot out that occurred on 109th last Tuesday or the related slashing that occurred the Friday before that?
@what? why didn’t get some notification from public safety?!
@James McShane Sorry we had all our guards checking seniors’ bags for 40s at “Senior Playpen”. Did somebody die? Oops.
@Different Groups Get different security e-mails. Undergrads get a different set of alerts (hence sent from “Ugrad Update”) vs. what grad students get vs. what faculty and employees get.
@what?? do you have a link on this?
@CC12 Did not even put my foot in the bookstore all of freshmen year. And got all my books used.
I must have paid USPS a lot of money though – well they need it.
@CC 09 So where did you get your requisite Columbia sweatshirt?
@CC11 CC12 could have done it as a prefrosh. You know– having been freshly accepted, then bringing the sweatshirt to the last days of high school.
@CC'10 Still don’t own any piece of Columbia gear…I never got the point of wearing university clothing to the actual university. I mean, it’s all about bragging rights, right? So, buy it when you graduate and flaunt it then.
@Anonymous Bah Lithumbug!
@keynesian prices are sticky
even if you did percipitate a mass horde of 2013’ers prefering used books, it is unlikely that this information would be communicated to suppliers of used books (2012’ers)… 2012’ers will sell quick and at a cheap price to unload it if they find a 2013’er willing to buy
@denial summer can’t be overrrrr :(
@write or die until you can annotate on a kindle, i’ma keep killin dem treessss
@Gee, BWOG How about loosening that iron-grip on my balls?
Plato’s republic is ordered from Amazon. Are you happy now?!
Honestly, first picture of the homepage? You douchebags.
@i like having old previously annotated books. might as well steal them
@i like having new books so i can annotate. might as well buy them there.
@Anonymous I usually try to make these clever but im just bamboozled.
Why would you ever prefer to annotate in a new book as opposed to a slightly used one?
PS save the trees
@shun Shun the bookstore. Drive it into bankruptcy, the whores.
@I'll take the third row from the top, second box on the right. thanks.
