Not bad, how much $?

why does everyone seem to buy their books in gigantic stacks rather than one at a time when you want to read them

>>11635733
Shipping costs mostly for me
>>11635721
Probably around 150 Usd, unsure of the exact conversion rate though

Okay here goes.

>>11635733
You don't want to have a period where you have nothing to read after finishing a book and waiting for new ones to arrive. That's why I usually order several at once.

>>11635644
Good books but I would look into buying second hand more. Some books are quite hard to find for a good price, such as the Fagles translations of Homer and the Pynchon books (I often see that edition of lot 49 for $5,49, no thanks, I'll buy it new then).

Others are dirt cheap. I found that version of Beyond Good and Evil for $1, and there are a zillion copies of Mythology, they are usually $2,49 and available in many formats.

>>11635753
Are you going to read Anna Karenina in English and The Brothers Karamazov in Swedish? If so, why?

>>11635765
Those are the two languages I use the most, so I want to get better at both. And I've found that, in general, swedish translations of the russians are very good, and it just so happened that my favorite swedish publisher (Modernista) released The Brothers Karamazov recently, so of course I had to buy them.

I also occasionally buy the english version of some books simply because they're cheaper or I can't find that book in swedish.

>>11635644
Did you order these online?

Yeah a collection of abebooks, ebay and book depository (no shipping costs however I hate when they ship them 1 at a time which is why I combine it), Australia.
>>11635820
The title if reflecting the book accurately should be "how to critique jazz music"

These haven't all been bought recently but they're what I've got lined up to finish at the minute.

Recently listened to the audiobook of Endurance by Alfred Lansing and am currently finishing off the Blackhawk Down audiobook.

>>11636941
Very good literary stack. I look forward to reading Rimbaud as well.

Occasionally, if the book lends itself to it. Pedro Paramo was a fun read.

Hi swedish anon. May I ask for some excepts of swedish The Brothers Karamazov? Some interesting snippets you like would be great. I'm really curious how it reads!

Also, if you find the time, I'd be interested in hearing some Swedish translations you recommend.

>>11636835
What will you start with first? Lots of variety going on. I'm secretly hoping you'll tackle Cicero early so I can prod you on it.

How are you liking Philip k Dick? Is it your first time reading him?

That's going to be an interesting read. こんばんは! Are you from Japan too?

why would anyone need to be told how to listen to music?

>>11637465
>Are you from Japan too?
No, I live in Buenos Aires and my japanese girlfriend lives in Tokyo. I buy things online (Mercari, Yahoo Auctions, Amazon.jp) and she receive them in her house. Next time I see her I have to pay her back. Books in english are insanely cheap in Japan.

>How are you liking Philip k Dick? Is it your first time reading him?

Yea it's my first time with any of his stuff, had seen Bladerunner beforehand though. I'm enjoying it so far, reads well.

She doesn't read a lot, althought she was able to read some books thanks to me: The Hobbit, The Inheritance Cycle, ICO, etc.
I met her on Craiglist Tokyo 3 years ago, before my first trip to Japan. I was looking for someone to go to a concert and she texted me because she wanted to talk about an argentine band (Sentencia Previa).
I'm moving out to Tokyo in december and we will get married, if everything goes smoothly I should have my spouse visa before march.

checked and confirmed. OP bought a bunch of memes.

>>11637598
That's not bad at all, does she read them in Japanese? Now I'm curious if she knows what kind of book you bought? Most girls I know are pretty conservative about those topics.

Ahh that's really cute though. I wish both of you great things in your future! Tokyo /lit/ book club one day.

Savor the moment, he's one of those great reads you want to enjoy forever. Should you find the opportunity "A Scanner Darkly" is also good, think pulpy dystopian sci fi.

Keep us updated with your progress. Have you read much science fiction prior to this?

>>11637599
A pile after my own heart. What's your progress on these?

Have you made your way through Ibsen yet? I hope your copy has Peer gynt, it's probably my personal favorite of his works.

>>11637678
>does she read them in Japanese?
She can read in english, but most of the books I've bought for her were in japanese. Of course she has all my books available in her house and most of them are in english.
>Now I'm curious if she knows what kind of book you bought?
Everything is in her house, so she knows what I have and I'm always sperging out about what I'd like to buy next.

Haven't read much sci-fi at all really. I've read I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream and about half of Ender's Game – that's it really.

Great Aeschylus and Aristophanes. The Aristophanes one you got takes considerable liberties with the text, but they are hands down, bar none, the funniest translations of the plays I've ever read.

Bane?

2 for $10 at B&N so I thought I might as well. I can only really do casual reading during the semester since there is so much required reading. I was reading in the lounge while waiting for class last semester and some gunner had the nerve to ask me why I'm not reading case briefs or a hornebook. Hope he enjoyed his unpaid job doing menial tasks for an associate. I'll ask him about it tonight.

Where do you live? Books are expensive in Argentina (where I'm currently living), so I buy all I can when I'm in Tokyo. Bookoff has books for 108 yens, sometimes even less.

I-i’m not a tradfag, I swear!

>>11640282
How do you afford to go to Japan often?

>>11640156
I have a job

>>11640307
What job in Argentina

>>11640302
On my first trip I realized how cheap video games were, and the high demand in Argentina.
My second, third and forth trips were business trips, I started selling japanese games online and I made so much money that I had 3 trips for free and I have more than 10.000 dollars (thanks to this small business). I'm making a living off of my vacations.

>>11640336

How much do PS4 games go for in Japan? Do they even sell other console games in NTSC regions? Actually I am not sure what region South America is, I just assume Japan is all JP region. So Saga Frontier and Vagrant Story are english or what? How much did those run you? I got mine at a garage sale for cheap but some PSX and PS2 games run for a ton in the USA.

>>11640416
>How much do PS4 games go for in Japan?
Japanese PS4 games are expensive. I got some cheap PAL and NTSC-U/C games in Trader, a stores in Akihabara that sells used games from other regions. It's very difficult to sell a game without japanese audio/subtitles to a japanese.
>Do they even sell other console games in NTSC regions?
Only in Trader, they have some 3DS, DS, PS Vita, PS3, Xbox 360 games.
>Actually I am not sure what region South America is
We are NTSC-U/C.
>Saga Frontier and Vagrant Story are english or what?
Japanase, but 100% of the PS1 and PS2 in the country are chipped. PSP, PS Vita, PS3 and PS4 are region free.
>How much did those run you?
The average game in Bookoff (Japan's biggest second-hand shop) costs 108 yens.

I make a lot of money because I buy cheap, I sell cheap and I sell fast.

>>11640456

I've read it. He basically argues that the original bible is a collection of mushroom puns. Unless you've got advanced degrees/experience in reading and translating ancient languages there's really no way to verify for yourself if it's true. (i'm skeptical)

1/3. Confessions of a Mask is the only one which I enjoyed reading (both because of its appealing theme and fluid prose).

>>11641298
Maybe in comparison to how much they might cost in Argentina. If you live in America or the UK, you most certainly will find a much larger variety of affordable books at your local bookstores than you would in Japan. Most of the kind of stuff I've seen at second-hand bookstores over there are genre fiction and specialty books, not a lot which might be of interest to casual readers who are mostly interested in classics or history.

>>11641465
Those LoA copies are pretty neat

Literally how to cope with buying used books? I am not so anal about things that need to be clean. But some people are just really filthy. Who knows what all kinds of human liquids there could be potentionally be found in them. But on the other hand the a money bill is probably more dirty...

>>11635831

I am interested in it, but don't know if it's worth it.

I've read the B&N hardcover which is pretty complete, but also very tacky.
I am interested in the "Selected Letters" volumes from Arkham House but most of them seem to be OOP.

>>11641822
The AH editions of his stories are the "standard" editions. I don't like the new dust jacket art they're using but they're not some tacky B&N books or anything.

Bokus/Adlibris eller bokborsen.se, för det mesta. Händer att man ibland köper från någon fysisk butik som Akademibokhandeln eller så, men det är mer sällan nuförtiden. Utbudet är inte så bra här i Sverige, samt att allt är så jävla dyrt.

>>11640292
Sorry to tell you, but all translations and all modern publications use the post 1925 Edition. This means they use Jungers later Editions where he distanced himself from nationalism and softend half of his views as to not be seen as a Nazi, although his riginal views represent it. So he Pretty much cucked himself, which got only worse in each later Edition. I'm personally still watching out for a got german pre 1925 Edition.

>bending your views because you're to much of a sissi too stand by your true opinion
Mind you, we are Talking About nationalism, not national-socialism. He watered down his loyality to his home Nation just to not be seen as supportive to a Party. Even in later interviews Junger tried to water it down while getting called nazi by retarded Hippies.

Stop commenting on stuff you know nothing about just because your pavlovian instincts got triggered by the word nationalism, Kevin-Sören.

Arrived today. The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky will arrive in ~a week. Never read anything by Dosto so I hope I didn't fuck up by not ordering Crime and Punishment, The Idiot or Demons. The overall story and concept of TBK just felt the most interesting to me. I'm also quite new to reading, and I wanted a challenging book which will challenge me and take me a while to read and think about.

Mine, today for $8

plz no bully ;_;

It's great. I just read Othello the other night.

Yes they have 2-4 cats in there not sure exactly how many. They're very docile and friendly. The store has a great literature selection and really good prices. You can find almost new hardcovers for $5 to $10. They put brodart covers on everything too. Definitely my favorite used book store in the LA area of the 5 stores that i've been to.

>not stealing 2 volumes every time you go to a borders and acquiring the entire series like I did

>>11645927
How do you steal from borders?

>>11645992
By going to one run by junkies and lazy teenagers

>>11646014

Meditations is comfy, nice bed time reading

Except the bits about the vastness of time on either side of your existence, putting into perspective just how insignificant everything you do and experience is. That might not help with falling asleep.

Yeah, I'm planning on finishing TBK and then reading the other 3 just to reread TBK again. I wouldn't be able to grasp everything in 1 read anyway.

>>11639849
I bought that same copy of Lolita the other day.
It was at a used store and they had it on display behind the counter instead of just on the shelves, so I guess copies must go quick.

Var fan fick du tag på Stuart Mill på svenska?

>>11646748
Nice, I also have that awful edition of Volcano

>>11639293
I've heard that too, so I'm guessing this must be a new translation.

Have you read The Golden Cockerel?

IDK, it's one of the better paperbacks I bought, at least one class over Penguin or Vintage.

>>11635644
Bought these recently. In addition to the CCRU book, they constitute my entire on-hand library at present

Did you learned about Meditations on /pol/ too, or on /fit/?

Candide and the Monk aren't visible.
Fuck me, that is a really bad picture.

>>11650611
I want the nazi book.

>>11650645
>>11650611
I read it was super biased. havent bought my own copy but I think my other nazi books are better. They are pretty neutral

>>11650645
Too jew-bent. It is well written though. Evans' books on the Third Reich are better in terms of History.

>>11650611
Will say, Judson isn't bad. Good choice on getting a separate book for Galois Theory - that final chapter is shit.
Also, have a look at Garling's book on G.T.

>>11650663
evan who

>>11650699
Richard J. Evans.

>>11650713
Didnt he shit on Irving?

>>11650727
Irving made shit up. Evans is just more fair, partly because he isn't a Jew. He seems to respect the fact that Goebbels and Himler weren't just /pol/ incels but were actually intelligent and hard working.

>>11650747
Irving was based.

>tibetan book of the dead

What is this about

>>11651139
it's a spiritual text that is supposed to enlighten you on the different realms of the afterlife... i heard about it from an interview with John Lennon. i think i also heard Grant Morrison refer to it.

>>11651157
Sounds cool. Ill look for a copy of it.

Theoretical physicist here, Rovelli's book is great-short, sweet, concise and entertaining. Chances are, you've heard of most of the ideas laid out in the book but the translation I read was beautifully written and there's an interesting take on philosophy in the last chapter. Highly recommend it.

How rich are you?

Pic related is my shopping cart at the moment, I was thinking of getting Wittgenstein's Tractatus as I might have a course at uni next semester on Witty but it might get too expensive taking the additional shipping fee into account. Should I get the Tractatus or will I be alright studying the book from an .epub?

>>11635644

Btw I don't know if you've ordered already, but buying a complete set of one author is cheaper buying directly from LoA than Amazon.

No wonder you're poor if you waste your money on stupid copies.

Nice stack, props for Gombro.

Picked these up at one goodwill store. Green and orange tags were 30% off

>>11654930

>>11654943
what are those prices supposed to be?

>>11654943
Goodwill tags. Everything is marked 99 cents except the bottom two hardcovers, which are $1.99. Like half of them have green or orange tags though, so I got 30% off those sticker prices. If I were a senior I could have received another 30% on top of that for the Monday discount. I think there's one for teachers too.

Haven't read it yet, just picked it up at my local library bookstore (which usually has a pitiful selection). I was amazed to see it at all, much less for $2, and Kokoro is a favorite of mine so I grabbed it.
