from 2007-2011 i worked at a company called vivendi; during that period i helped to oversee/invested in the acquisition of activision and the further integration of blizzard. made a pretty penny. started graduate school out in cali around 2011, ended up getting in on palantir's private investment structure, made another penny. have since invested extremely aggressively, have ridden the bio-tech bubble and pushed a number of other fronts, primarily in natural resources.

great selection. the turgenev is hardly mentioned around here. love the Grass--the chapter on corinthians/faith-hope-love is one of my favorite in western lit. Grass also wrote an autobiographical work--peeling the onion--that i think is very much worth reading. do you read poetry as well? are you into non-fiction?
i started collecting books in high school and have since spent around 15-16 years or so building up my library book by book. every single volume has been selected and bought in that period.

yeah, they ultimately hold up pretty well. been using them for years and they are pretty durable while also being fairly movable.

the hiroshige is just a masterwork in printing, i think. its beautifully bound and the inks are breathtaking. taschen does a world-class job IMO, and their large/jumbo/sumo series are just works of art in themselves.
what hokusai version are you referring to? does taschen make a special one?
