I can't participate in these threads because I only read non-English authors nobody on /lit/ heard about.
I've borrowed a single book in English in my entire life.

>>11925855
I think I was in my late teens when I came to terms with the fact that I enjoy collecting books as much as I enjoy reading them. Why tell yourself it's bad thing? Also no one sees my books so I can't be doing it to impress people

>>11925855
i wish

>>11926736
We talk about it all the time. Check the archive.

Absolutely trash stacks so far. Patrician coming through.

>projecting this hard

>>11925855
The point is, you’re dumb if you think this kind of stuff doesn’t pay off in the long run.

I’m very certain I don’t give a fuck if someone sees these books right now, but in the future they will make an impressive collection.

I haven't even read that robert jordan book, i bought it on a whim and couldn't get past the first page.

This is only half of the collection, the other half is below but whatever.

>>11927759

woops.

>>11927935
Who are you trying to impress by bringing every book you own to college? Leave them at home

Be careful reading Zinn now that the movie "Lady Bird," has identified those who read him as being pretentious, cigarette-rolling, cell phone spurning hipsters contemptuous of pop rock ballads and overtly cynical about relieving a young woman of her virginity, in the wrong environment it could be like reading Celine in a synagogue.

>implying that mary and shiva don't fuck in the divine world

Books my family got me for my birthday.

The top 6 books were on my wish list, the bottom 3 weren't.

>>11931586
De nederste to kan du bare smide i skraldespanden.

>>11927785
fuck jelly of that Napoleon atlas

Things I've bought in the past month or so. So far all I've read out of these is Germinal, and about a third of Berlin Alexanderplatz. The French Iliad copy was a gift from a friend who got it in Morocco, I'm still learning French.

>>11932076
Goddamn phone making everything sideways.
To french anons, does this seem like a good translation? It's by Charles-René-Marie Leconte de L'Isle. Clearly prose, which I don't like for the english Homer I've read. I guess it doesn't matter much if I'm just using it to learn. I'm also going through La Peste and Les Fleurs du Mal when I get the chance, probably La Peste first as it'll be the simplest and the closest to the vernacular I've learned in classes.

>>11931586
Your family has better taste than you. hehe.

im on holiday

Current theory stack

>>11925221
how do all those books fit in there?

More importantly: how does he get the books out without breaking the screen???

>>11927610
Not him but yes this is what I want to happen. I want it to be like the movie "The Dreamers" except with books instead of films.
>Oh Anon, you read so many deep books! Please allow me to fellate you!

>>11929444
Checked and thank you.

I know it's Bartleby-tier but I do enjoy it. The experience of living in that room has embarrassingly made me more interested in the work of Melville, this book as well.
>>11929361

What is that book?

>>11932717
