Had to move some to another shelf because I was running out of room on my main one. Don't know what I'm gonna do if I keep acquiring books.
Currently reading not pictured: Shelley - Frankenstein, Herbert - Dune, and Jung - Man and His Symbols

You fools are lucky I already cleaned it up earlier

>>15388364
i wish i was you

>>15388374
well just build a shed? it's not hard, maybe $300 at most

>>15388364
Ngl does look kinda cozy.
But you do have to admit, this is not "tidy"

>>15388364
Is that your bed on the right side? Holy based.

>>15388380
Where do you build them doe also how does nobody rob you?

>>15388383
It is for me

Based Jane Eyre bro
>>15388347

>>15388281
where did you get that fancy red tome?

>>15388364
livin' the dream

Anybody treat their shelf like a library?

I have a spreadsheet for my friends of all my books and if someone wants to borrow they can see what I have. Seems like the best use of having all these books once I’ve read them

>>15388364
I would also like to clarify that the white spot is not cum

>>15388744
I do have the database aspect of a library like you (a spreadsheet) but I don't have (and never will) the lending aspect of it.

>>15388328
fuckkkk i want that Republic

>>15388726
Picked it up at local bookshop with a gift card I won for my writing stuff.

>>15388779
Holy based. I salute you, mate.

Very based shelf my man.

>>15388838
Varg is cringe, though.

>>15388842
Oh yeah definitely, but also a great meme man

>>15388364
Lookin' really comfy there Ted.

>>15388744
If I lend someone a book I don’t worry about getting it back. If I wanna read it again I can borrow it from the library or pick up a copy in a used bookstore. Though I don’t own a lot of expensive books desu.

1/5

>>15388838
Thanks, I think it’s decent.

Is that a pizza box hanging up on the wall?

>>15388842
>>15388847

Would love some recommendations, I have a lot of communist lit coming in the mail next, as well as a LOT of Greek/Roman stuff

>>15389019
Mirin the Audubon society

>>15389015
You mean my wall paper?

>>15388838
im in love desu

>>15389035
Pushkin Press. They make great long lasting paperbacks with French folds and thick paper all throughout. Lots of reprints of stuff that was obscure in their own time and never got republished.

>>15388744
yo, can I borrow The Black Swan by Taleb?

>>15389039
Your shelf is always one of my favorites, makes me want to start learning math

Based red baron

>>15389050
Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of them. Will check them out.

>>15389038
If you haven't already, read The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith recognizes the oppressive aspects of free market systems that empower the rich against the poor. Very based

>>15389053
Sure fren

>>15389070
I actually will probably buy that, thanks.
Spring Comes Again by Jorian Jenks (left this one on my coffee table) talks about that from a British fascist perspective. Very interesting ways that he shows how free markets have no choice but to sell their own people out for “better deals” in trade with other countries to do better in business, and then short their host country for the sake of bettering their own company rather than their own nation.

>>15389079
okay, I'll meet you at science world in Vancouver on Tuesday, sound good?

>>15388222
Brief History is very average shedanon. I was super disappointed by it. Struggling to find good science writing. I used to like Bryson sorta stuff but it's too basic. Sapolsky is good but specific and again, basic. I like Sacks but it's basically just mini-autobiographies. I've taken to just reading journals or equivalent.

Any good recs for science writers? Not pop-sci shit. Topic is generally irrelevant. Pic related for reference.

>>15388364
Streetguru, is that you? And if so, how have you been? Haven't seen you in years.

>>15389339
My twitter is @Lordstreetguru

mostly fine. need job.

>>15389344
Nice, glad you are still around. Over on /g/ there was conjecture (years ago) that you had frozen to death during a particularly cold winter.

Good luck with the job hunt, but hopefully you can enjoy some cozy quarantine time in the interim.

>>15388222
the spine of that c++ is absolutely horrifying

>>15389506
I've basically had them stored in trash bags lying around on the floor for like a year

>>15388240
Are you streetguru?

Le viral marketting. Whoever this faggot is, this thread is the first time they've ever been mentioned on /lit/.

>>15392434
he's a guy who was in every battlestation thread on /g/ a couple of years ago

>>15392480
What a fucking irrelevant thing to be known for.

This is my miscellaneous shelf. My other one is mostly military history.

>>15392496
I don't think he is trying to impress you anon he lives in a shed

>>15392596
This is a child’s library.

Why would we want to see the equivalent of an inner city school library collection?

Looks good op

>>15392952
BASED Zola reader. You've done what I mean to do in the near future. I think Oxford is only lacking one (or two?) novels in that series.

>>15392952

Hi streetguru. I legit thought you died already. Sorry for ever doubting you.

Hold on guys, All my books are in pdf form on my computer, should I kill myself?

>>15393324
YES.

>>15393121
Just follow my twitter or subscribe to my only fans if you want updates

>>15393324
>should I kill myself?
You're posting on /lit/, that goes without saying

>>15392982
Doctor Pascal is the only one Oxford hasnt had translated yet. I hope they have a translation in the works

I don’t have any friends so there wouldn’t be a point

>>15392789
I went home recently but my sister was reading my copy so I couldn't take it back with me

>>15393076
This. Lotr has not been cracked open once

>>15394112
Because it's new and I haven't read it yet.
I read the first two books last year on a kindle, but before this year, I didn't really read at all.
Because I've read LoTR recently, they aren't high up on my priority list, but I wanted nice copies because they are my favorite books. The box set was secondhand and dirt cheap.
