I hadn't heard about that before, so I looked it up. I couldn't find any TJ delivery site, except an unofficial one from 2011, but it looks like they got sued by TJ.[1] The official TJ website says that they don't sell online.[2]

"In the end, Crashplan is sending me out a 3tb seed
drive so I can get my entire archive back online, and
they’re also issuing me an account credit for the
previous seed drive service I had purchased."

Edit2: It looks like if you click on the link, it automatically expires. bCODE is "an identifier that can be sent to a mobile phone/device and used as a ticket/voucher/identification or other type of token." I'm guessing somehow these tokens (the ones that auto log you in) never got used, plus the old ones were saved and contain email info. Not sure how Google could have gotten them though. Probably just got accidentally listed, despite robots.txt.
>"The purpose of the SAT is to predict how well a high school student would perform as a freshman at a college or university in the United States of America (USA)."
>"...Another implication of the purpose of the SAT is that taking preparation courses that focus on the exact, narrow content of the SAT, no more and no less, is not "morally wrong". If a person does better on the SAT as a result of specific training or coaching, then, in essence, the SAT has indicated that the person has a quality (such as initiative, motivation, or money) that correlates with good performance in a college or university in the United States of America (USA)."
On September 7, 2012, Roth wrote an open letter to Wikipedia in the The New Yorker in which he dismissed critics' earlier suggestions that his novel was inspired by Anatole Broyard.[13] He said that he had used an incident in the life of his friend, Melvin Tumin, professor of sociology at Princeton, and created everything else about his character, Coleman Silk. Roth used details from Tumin's experience in the events that led to Silk's resigning from the college.[13] Roth acknowledged that he had met Broyard, but wrote that he barely knew him.[13] He said, "I’ve never known, spoken to, or, to my knowledge, been in the company of a single member of Broyard’s family. I did not even know whether he had children."[13]
Bliss Broyard, the daughter of Anatole Broyard, posted a response on Facebook:
"I think it’s completely reasonable that Roth should be allowed to have the last word on who inspires his characters and even obfuscate about the sources if he wants to… BUT I don’t think it’s reasonable that Roth gets to dictate what conclusions other people draw about his characters, which is effectively what he was trying to do with his objection to Wikipedia’s description of the book as 'allegedly' having been inspired by my dad."[14]
She said her father had introduced her to Roth at a literary party when she was 22:
" 'Bliss,' my father said, rather pompously, 'this is one of our most important American novelists.' He [Roth] turned to regard me. 'So lithe and pale,' he pronounced. 'Like a ghost.' It was a brief encounter—one I’m not surprised that he might have forgotten—but I am sure you all can understand why I haven’t."[14]
Apparently, this website takes the requested subdomain and uses it to search Bing Images, showing the first result, except for "chairs" which is from the FB video.
e.g.: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=hobbits
edit: Some queries, like "elf" show the default chairs.
There's also a new re-translation being done by Penguin; only the first four are out, the rest are supposed to be out in 2018(?). I think the delay is due to some of the volumes being under copyright still.
However, I'd like to also point out that you shouldn't read ISoLT or Ulysses or any other book for that matter, just for the sake of saying that you were able to read it. I think that you lose the depth, the meaning of the words when you read to "show off". You "read" the book, the words flowed into your brain, but did you really understand what the author said?
Unfortunately, I think modernist literature is often susceptible to "half readers", where people start the book, but never finish it. Modernist style can seem pretty alien to some people (Background, as jseliger pointed out, is also important to understanding the "meaning".) As Wikipedia puts it:
>"For the first-time reader, modernist writing can seem frustrating to understand because of the use of a fragmented style and a lack of conciseness. Furthermore the plot, characters and themes of the text are not always presented in a linear way. The goal of modernist literature is also not particularly focused on catering to one particular audience in a formal way. In addition modernist literature often forcefully opposes, or gives an alternative opinion, on a social concept."

There was some issue with his heat visor, but that was resolved.

How do you know that? Does it matter? If you don't want to write for the public, write for yourself. Put what you write in a folder and let it sit for a (week|month|however-long). Keep writing, keep putting stuff in the folder. Every once in awhile, read what you wrote. Eventually you might have something you'll want to publish. If not, it doesn't matter. You've written because it's fun to write, because you like writing. The more you write, the better a writer you can become.
From http://www.diyplanner.com/docs/commonplace1:
"In Sir Arthur Conon Doyle's tales, Sherlock Holmes kept a large and sprawling commonplace book upon his shelves, essentially his own home-grown encyclopedia of people, places, crimes, and pertinent facts, like the colour of mud from various locations, or the consistency of tobacco ashes. In the middle of a case, Holmes would rush to his commonplace, haul down a book, and read out a newspaper article concerning (say) the disappearance of a hydraulics engineer a year prior. His attic of a brain remembered vague references, but the books held the details that allowed him to pursue his work."
