I like to steal library books

>>11218961
Doesn't your library have those scanner things that go off if you leave with a book that hasn't been checked out? How do you bypass it?

>>11218967
there's an elevator that goes to employee parking. the elevator is out of sight of the desk anyway, so I just go that way.

I have a second bookshelf but it's just full of reference books and textbooks and I don't feel like taking a picture of it.

>>11219032

>>11218945
I don't have a bookshelf. I stack my books on a piece of dining room furniture which only has one level so my books are stacked three deep. Its too bad I have unread books in the back, I really wanted to read this Romanovs book but I'm too lazy to fish it out.

she's not a trap. I'm really pretty sure of this.

Have you read Libra? What are your thoughts on it/DeLillo in general?
I really enjoy him. I've written a mostly original analysis of White Noise and a couple of other papers about his short stories and themes, but embarrassingly I've only read White Noise and his short stories.

>>11219045
that chest/cabinet on the left looks like an enormous bar of chocolate

>>11218945
How is The Land and Literature of England?

The tags make it look like you're working towards a thesis and borrowed those books for school work.

>>11219054

Go back to making book reviews, BookChemist!

>>11219157
Not him, but I thought Libra was much better than White Noise. Gets real fucking spooky in the end.

>>11218945
Why are all your books stolen from libraries?

>>11220664
Libraries often have library sales. Is that hard to understand?

>>11218945

weren't these the shelves that someone was pretending belonged to his girlfriend?

are you the fallout equestria pleb, also did you skip straight to heidegger

>>11220782

Yes I am.

And no, most of my philosophy books are back at my family home. I have Stirner's stuff but not on the pic.

Eh, I just like it but they can also fetch a pretty price if one day I need to sell 'em on Ebay (though I will most likely never do so).

just cleaned up my shelves this afternoon, i have at least 80 or so books in a crate to take to charity shops over the next while

Dropped.
Obviously a pseud to have this deranged Jewish writer on your shelf. Cancer for the brain.

the ones hard to see on either end are Richardson’s Clarissa and Pound’s Cantos

I like that bookshelf. It doesn't give up too much empty space between shelves. I hate that shit.

>>11221293

No I won't. Empires of Faerun is a nice book. I really liked the Codex Adventurous.

I'm always so jelly when I see this shelf. Nice wallhangers, too. If you had to pick a favorite book, besides the three limited edition memorial Gygax books, which would you choose?

Anyway I can't play mom said not to meet strangers on the internet but thanks for offering.

Approved.

>>11221271
yeah, despite all the books i've thrown out, i still have maybe 30 books in my apartment near university that i'll eventually have to bring back home. and I do so much more reading with ebooks these days...

>>11219022
Would you recommend Omensetter's Luck or The Tunnel to someone who genuinely enjoyed The Recognitions and JR?

>>11221237
This is really aesthetically pleasing for some reason. Favourite book on the shelves?

R8 me

Don't hit on my silly boys

>>11221899
It's a real toss-up to decide an all-time favourite, but right now I think it'd be either Dostoyevsky's The Idiot or Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer. Two very different books, although just speaking of them together makes me realise they both have unsubtle and hilarious anti-Catholic tirades, so that's something! I'd specifically recommend Maturin because he's not at all well-known and he's a lot of fun.

>>11221515
Rule book or dungeon? The expanded White Plume (Return to White Plume) is great crazy nostalgia, but for 3.5 source books, I'm not sure. I loved the environment books (especially Sandstorm and Stormwrack) and Eberron's Stormreach source. I use Races of the Wild a lot (partly for the great gear) and Lords of Madness (had a long Underdark campaign).

>>11222152
I meant rule book, sorry. HMMMMM, yes. I've heard great things about the environment books. Thanks for the tips.

Catch-22 is a decent book

>>11222125
for some reason, I can't imagine this person finishing Gravity's Rainbow

>>11221385
Definitely needs to be culled somewhat

>>11222267

How do the books stay up like that

Who do you think you're fooling? That's the library, Hans!

>>11223862
Being packed so close together

>>11219157
I've read Libra and I honestly have not made enough sense out of it as I like. I think that Oswald as a character does something similar to what Murray and Jack discuss about violence at the end of White Noise. There's also the theme of trying to understand history in a time that is seemingly ahistorical. I remember that DeLillo said somewhere that his role as a novelist was to historicize the present. What do you think?
