I just deposited 10 Reddit Gold into your account, good sir!

My wife has the same Lovecraft book as OP. It’s fucking awful and filled to the brim with typos. Like at least 3 or 4 per page. What the hell? Did they just copy/paste fan translations off the internet that were written in the 90’s?

>>11087384

I have literally nothing in my bookshelf, ive been thinking of getting some dark fantasy or grimdark, where should I start? I've been told to read elric of melniboné

>>11087762
read Conan the Barbarian. Elric is cack tbph.

>>11087589
you can get a new recognitions for £13.80 on amazon

>>11087743
OK thanks. It's not the definitive Moby Dick cover for me but it does fit the general aesthetic of the whole collection.

>>11087762
haven't read it myself but elric has been massively influential on elder scrolls and D&D and probably wise man's fear and other things.

>>11087589
thanks m8, yeh, it's kind of a meme shelf. about half of these are new books i wanted for myself after reading library copies. memes are memes for good reason i guess. under the volcano is on order, excited to read it. also check out amazon US? recognitions is like $12

also more shelf. ICON is a book by some fag on an old forum i used to browse 15 years ago. still haven't read it, browsing the prose it looks like complete shit and full of stupid injokes.

It’s notoriously the worst Lovefraft collection, they fixed it in later releases though. Still the fact that they released something that bad put me off all the other books in that set.

No he’s a pulp sword and sorcery character from Weird Tales magazine. The author was friends with Lovecraft.

idk they were a Christmas gift. The copy of Urth is signed too.
>>11088622
It's my copy from when I read it as a child. I keep it for sentimental reasons if anything.
>>11088636
I like them better without the dust jackets desu. How should the ribbons be? I got the Barnes and noble leathers as a gift a few years ago, the Shakespeare one is really nice desu and the Dante one, while being longfellow translation, is still nice with all the Doré engravings.
>>11088582
>>11088636
Yeah I'm reading it right now. It's a really nice edition and the images are really nice. I highly recommend it.

>>11088688
How's the printing and paper? It's sewn binding right?

>>11088256
nonfiction aside from philosophy is genre fiction

>>11088866
The the paper is thick and really smooth. The binding is sewn. There are also family trees showing relationships between characters at the start of a major section. Pic related is the average page.

>>11088866
>>11088892
Example of family tree. They're mostly double page but the one for Io down to Hecules is single page.

Occasionally there will be illustrations to specific stories that are really nice as well as the 10 full page (1 double page) illustrations. Overall this edition is really good. The only thing I don't like is the cover without the dust jacket. It's this shitty glossy plastic that looks really ugly. The dust jacket is a nice matte black with a vinyl texture to it with a nice cover illustration. Other than that this edition is superb and I highly recommend it.

Somewhat. That first one is from the Kelmscott Press Golden Legend (1891), and this one is from Doves Press Paradise Lost (1902). Those are the new ones.

>>11089158

>>11087459
If I like Pynchon, what from your shelf would you recommend? I've heard McCarthy, Gaddis, and Gass recommended a bunch, along with DeLillo.

>>11090097
Not him but Blood Meridian

>>11090097
>>11090118
Pynchon and McCarthy have nearly nothing in common, apart from both writing, for the most part, quality work.

Still, I'd recommend Invisible Cities, Blood Meridian, Moby-Dick, Lolita, and The Recognitions.

>>11087785
how's this one

>>11090139
>Pynchon and McCarthy have nearly nothing in common
I think I lumped them together subconsciously because Bloom listed them among his "four living American novelists I know of who are still at work and who deserve our praise...Thomas Pynchon, Phililp Roth, Cormac McCarthy, and Don DeLillo."
Lolita was great. I read it earlier last year before I ever picked up Pynchon. I'll check out the others though, thanks!

>>11090189
Invisible Cities is one of the greatest things I've ever read, and I really hope you experience it as well.

>>11090200
:) I'll check it out. Thanks, anon! Is any translation ok or are there some to avoid?

why the hell do /lit/ anons pretend to be me dammit

>>11090097
Omensetter's Luck. Runner up: Blood Meridian. Cormac is GOOD but he's not for everyone (including me). Invisible Cities isn't the orgasm experience other anon is saying it is. It's good, but assuming you want a novel it is not what you're asking for.

>>11090215
Get the Harcourt edition.

What's on filmmaking like, i need a good book about film.

this is nice tread

>>11090235
you're just too damn cool

>>11090139
>Pynchon and McCarthy have nearly nothing in common
That wasn’t the question though. He asked what he would like from the shelf if he liked Pynchon.

>>11089372
Do you like old weird fiction?

>>11090240
Get a copy of Film Art by Bordwell, Thompson and Smith, then look for John Truby's Anatomy of Storytelling, Will Eisners Graphic Storytelling and Visual Narrative.

>>11089904
What is that?

>>11090240
On filmmaking is excellent. idk what any of >>11090751are but MacKendrick is excellent. Like 2/3rds of the book is on writing and is applicable beyond filmmaking for lots of it. Highly recommend.

>>11090722
I purchased that particular Necronomicon a while ago and it was quite honestly the shittiest quality book I've ever had. The binding and boards were so cheap that I was unable to even read it due to my fear that it would disintegrate.

Anyone else considering buying this collection - don't. I'm not being hyperbolic, it really is that terrible. Also it's not even Lovecraft's complete works.

>>11090768
Film Art covers the basics pretty much of film form, narrative, analysis, some history and more.
The two others are more tied to storytelling, where the former is on advices helping how to write, where as the latter go indepth in what the Film Art book mentions, but shows it in a comic form. Students reportedly mention the book being a way of seeing film from both a storyboard and manuscript helper.

>>11090789
Buy "The Complete Fiction" for all of Lovecrafts work.

Mine was fine. Odd. The paperback versions of those black books are horrible, but the hardcovers haven't been a problem, and I've read them all cover to cover. It's not complete, but it covers everything as published in Weird Tales (along with the second volume there) and some other good stuff.

>>11091205
It's not too bad, now that most of the books are in rooms that don't get tons of traffic. But honestly I have some cleaners come in once a month now and clean and dust the house. It's so worth it.

Maybe I just got a flawed copy, or possibly a counterfeit. I'm not exaggerating (much) though, it felt like a fucking pizza box. The gilted engravings were chipped and off placement, and the glue binding was worse than a cheap paperback. It really did seem like it would fall apart just by being open.

I eventually settled on the LOA Lovecraft. While it also isn't a complete collection, I know they at least have some sort of quality control.

i fucking hate how low quality my bookshelf is and wish I invested in a stronger one.

>>11090798
MacKendrick does that quite a bit as well. The book is in 2 parts where the first part is dedicated to writing: storytelling, storyboarding, scriptwriting, etc etc taking a lot from Aristotle. Different aspects of scriptwriting like exposition, suspension of disbelief, probability, etc. Its great and covers everything with examples like Sophocles, Hitchcock, and himself since MacKendrick himself was a great director and scriptwriter in his own right (if you want to see then watch The Sweet Smell of Success). The second part is all about actually shooting the film: shots, angles, positioning, directing actors, etc with examples from again his own work and stuff like Citizen Kane. Overall its a fantastic resource. The 'chapters' are taken from his handouts from when he taught at cal-arts.

>>11092787
If you have a box of screws, a power drill, and some boards, you can make a good one yourself. Go to literally any hardware store and get to it.

>>11092787
i like your books and >>11092810 this anon is correct. the tough part is the initial investment cost: a power drill, bits, level and square, hardware, material. but you will have built your own and it will last forever. you can even cheap out on the drill if you're not going to be depending on it for regular heavy use.

>>11092787
when building your own, just don't be a fuckass and put it together with nails. That shit won't last. Use screws.

>>11092834
Sure initial investment might be a little high, but honestly, every man needs to have a drill and a box of screws in the house, just like he needs a toolkit that includes a flathead, a phillipshead, a torx kit, a hammer, measuring tape, nails, duct tape, pliers, and a set of wrenches.

how is that moomins collection? Is it all of the books?

>>11090789
My edition is completely fine. I got the hardback editions of both the Necronomicon and the Eldritch Tales. Both volumes together I believe compile his complete works and they're pretty good quality for the prices they were

>>11090789
>>11092442
That reminds me of a complaint I was hearing about the Gollancz HC black books having glued pages (perfect binding, usually just for paperbacks), which baffled me because mine were clearly stitched. It's possible the later reprints, or the editions used in some countries, are cheaper in construction than the original U.K. runs. So we may all have different quality experiences here: I always bought the hardcovers from the U.K. as soon as they were released.

>castaneda
how are the others compared to Don Juan, I liked Don Juan apart from his shitty summary at the end.

>>11095619
So, the second and third books are my personal favourites in the series - they become much more "philosophical", in the sense that Don Juan loses his patina of cryptic elusiveness and starts to actually fucking teach the Castaneda character something that resembles metaphysics (it may be because I was reading them on the side, but I found his subsequent teachings to be similar to the ideas of both Spinoza and Artaud). The quality of the books as pseudo-novels increases dramatically as well, make of that what you will.

Malories version is mundane. Can’t believe you don’t have the Mabinogion. The reason I say get Alan Wilson and Baram Blacketts Arthurian history books is that they have actually straightened out the history and myths with genealogies and manuscripts from the lives of saints as well as detailed field research and mapped out where battles took place, even where Camelot was.

Start off just by finding a used copy of the holy kingdom book Adrian Gilbert for a taste of what they’ve done them get Artorius Rex discovered for solid history without the verbose scene setting because it’s self published. The 3 large books I have by them are masterpieces I’m so glad I finally tracked them all down just yesterday received the final one I needed to complete.

Go on YouTube and watch some of the videos they’ve done on British history and King Arthur.

>>11099090

>>11099501
One of the great migrations came from Trojan stock as explained here >>11099298

Haven't you ever wondered why the majority of native Welsh look like a pure Mediterranean race while the Irish and Scots look completely different yet are all grouped under "Celtic" race? Celts were a French tribe. Britons were never Celts and the term was only ever first applied to them in the 1700's by dumbed down English revisionism to put a blanket over a much deeper subject.

Infact all the way up till the 1700's it was a known fact that Trojans settled in Britain. The Victorian era historians dismissed it as false because they believed at the time that Homer's Trojan war was a myth along with the Troy itself ever existing. Troy wasn't rediscovered untill the late 1800's but the English history books haven't been corrected.

>>11094773
I wouldn't let you near my children.

>>11099501
The whole substance to Alan and Baram's version of history is simply to take the ancient Welsh histories as fact where as what we're all taught is the English version of british history, the English being the arch enemies of the Welsh for over 1500 years.

Like I said ealier, just check out that first book I mentioned as preview, The Holy Kingdom by Adrian Gilbert. Its all professionally edited and written and is simply an outsiders view of the work of Alan and Baram. You'll get an idea of how serious and close the total genocide of pre Saxon British culture and language is with the peak of the threat being the 20th century English take over of all schools in Wales and the outlawing of the Welsh language. Children in school would get beat for speaking a single word of Welsh up to 100 years ago and led to a decline in the language of 95% Welsh speakers nationally to today under 20%.

Not being able to read or speak their own language they have forgotten their own culture and believed what the English teachers taught them. People complain about Jews revising history and genociding whites and european culture but they look like angels next to what the English have done and continue to do. And by the English I mean the elite who aren't even British but Germanic. History is taught to hold the Germanic side of the English up as the greatest and master race while degrading the Welsh and Irish and primitives. The total opposite is true when you read into it.

>>11093687
Not the guy you were replying to, but I was gonna say "just order one online" but holy shit, apparently it's a rare book. I haven't found a price lower than $30 online.

>>11099501
Oh and I need to say that the most vital key in teaching history should be to inspire and make the nation and its people proud. Even Hitler pointed this out in Mein Kampf. Goes without saying the British are demoralized from what they learn in history class and the media. This is because they have removed everything interesting and inspiring from the history books.

Whats better, a country of primitive, blue painted sodomites who have orgies and whatever Celtic nonsense we're suppossed to believe. Then of course being conquered by Romans easily then by German barbarians easily. King Arthur being just a myth.

Or...

A civilised people who's story ties into ancient Mesopotamia, who defeated the Romans under Julius Cesar TWICE, even stripping him of his sword and sending him back to Rome never to return. Only to falter to the strongest empire on earth through internal corruption so the Romans had a free march into London where they fought a 9 year long war with the Silures kingdom of South Wales only to settle on a trade treaty. The founding of Gnostic Christianity taking place in 50 AD in Britain hundreds of years before the founding of Catholic Christianity in Rome. The King of Kings, Arthur successfully driving out all immigrants from the lands and becoming an immortal legend and inspiration for all time to come.

>>11099585
Yeah but there is the whole linguistic evidence for brythonic and goidelic having a common ancestor.
>>11099655
but not even a hundred years ago was the term england referring to only english people, they also went with the brythonic peoples that lived here and there were tons of translations of Brito-Latin authors that wrote before the Anglo-Latin authors did.
And the English are 40% dna wise germanic at a minimum, with other studies going up to 70%.
Yeah I'll agree that they are enemies, but this is some wewuzing for history that is on par with the british empire claiming themselves romans

>>11099754
The Welsh and Irish are linked now because of Historians, that doesn't equate as factual that they were historically linked and had the same origins. They can't find an Ancient link between them anywhere. Irish Gaelic and Scots Gaelic have strong connection with Northern Scandinavian Languages for example, where as Welsh is one of the most unique languages in Europe. Multiple Linguists have pointed out how unusual Welsh is because of where it's placed...some say it's closer to middle eastern languages than any other European language. Which clearly points to a long time period of separation of the language from other influences (which means it clearly didn't develop in What we now know as Britain and Wales). The only small influence on Welsh comes from Latin.

The Welsh are Clearly the Cimmerians, other wise known as Gimiri and Beth Khumry (Cymru Am Byth in modern times of the language)...This is why Cultures are lost throughout history, because of certain people's refusal to use the Language and Events of the Nation in question.

>>11099790
>Irish Gaelic and Scots Gaelic have a strong connection with the Northern Scandinavian languages for example, where as Welsh is one of the most unique languages in europe
but that's factually wrong, I've studied Nordic languages before and they are a lot different than any celtic language, the only things that were left there are when the vikings conquered most of Scotland, Manx and parts of Ireland.
Even a superficial look into the comparison makes it easy to see a similarities between Goidelic and Brythonic
https://www.omniglot.com/language/celtic/comparison.htm

>>11099829
>Irish - Cén t-ainm atá ort?
>Welsh - Beth yw dy enw (di)?

Wow its basically the same! Did you even read the page you linked? Breton (Britanny, France) and Cornish are similar to Welsh because Britanny was literally founded by the Welsh and is of the same race and culture. Cornwall being isolated just South of Wales obviously would be similar despite being in English boarders.

The 3 Gaelic languages, which are all similar to each other, are nothing like the British languages. You just proved me right, lad.

>>11099870
Yes they are similar if you take the ps and qs.
p mutates into b and q mutates into c. You are also not taking into account the word order of celtic languages, which is different than the germanic languages

>>11099870
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Proto-Celtic_lemmas
all of this evidence, you gonna deny it too?

>>11099829
Also Alan Wilson claims to have discovered that the ancient British alphabet called Coelbren can be used to decipher previously untranslatable Etruscan inscriptions as well as Phoenician and some ancient Mesopotamian too. I haven't read into that yet and am just going off the interviews with him but if he's right then he has truly solved the past better than just about any historian before him.

>>11099924
>Coelbren
Created by Edward Williams in the 1700's, atleast Ossian was like the Grimm tales based on folk tongue

>>11099898
Once again nothing in there bares any similarity. Are you just holding onto the Celtic nonsense because you're invested in it or something? The Celts were a French tribe. Never British. You've believed a lie and now you're defending it. Pathetic.

>>11099935
Yet Coelbren is found on stones and in caves in Wales and all over the old traces of the mythical migrations the Welsh histories have claimed since the beginning of history.

English historians always write off Welsh history as lies and try to degrade the sources character. If you want to understand it objectively just apply the same arguements to the White Nationalists vs Jewish revisonists topic. The same thing has been going on for hundreds of years being committed by the English.

If Coelbren was made up by a drug addict then why is it found in Egypt and throughout the ancient world?

I'm not that guy and I don't know what he meant, but I can tell you a bit about the LOA editions.

>Pros
+Extremely complete editions most often containing everything an author ever wrote including journals, notes, letters, scraps, etc.
+Clothbound, ribbon bookmark, smyth-sewn binding
+Extensive publication history covering novelists, historical writings, poets, etc.
+Very affordable and available

>Cons
-rarely, LOA encounters a problem with the rights to an author, resulting in some of the greats being absent from the catalogue (Hemingway) or strange editions (Fitzgerald edition doesn't contain Gatsby)
-odd DJ material that attracts fingerprints
-title on spine is oriented wrong and it looks fucking terrible
-paper is a bit thin

>>11104414
>>11103994
Oh and its also got a ton of plants that aren't even psychoactive which doesnt make sense. Same with Stamets book on mushrooms. I think they just add them in there to fill because there really isnt that many known psychoactive plants and mushrooms. I just find a field guide handy if I need to identify one im not familiar with.
