man i read platform last year and I was really looking forward to getting into his work, but that book was just so god damn boring and the whole climax is one page right at the end and it's nothing at all not even described. I will say the very beginning with the narrators travels through Thailand and his discussion with the tour group was comfy and nice, but everything else was just so stale.

>>17246925
I haven't even taken a look at it yet. I have so much to read.

>>17247238
Non-fiction, SF, reference.

>>17247246
So you don't read. Why didn't you just say so?

>>17247246
my shelf is mostly non fiction besides the mishima shelf really

>>17247254
I probably read more than you, not even memeing.

>>17247266
No no. Your Mishima shelf is really cool. I'm jelly of that Sun & Steel.

>>17247276
I actually found it in a small cafe bookstore for only 5 bucks, absolutely nuts. Some older people ran it and most have had no idea

>>17247243

You have the hobbit and the LotR books on different shelves. Why?

Ok. Your frogs suggest you also read a very high quality of literature. Good for you,

Built these shelves into the back of my desk the other day. Pretty happy with them. Need to sort the contents of i can ever be bothered.

>>17246581
do I see three copies of The Hobbit?

this is most of my books that aren't manga or warhammer 40k novels

I prefer reading eBooks, and I had to throw out most of the books I owned as a child/teenager due to becoming homeless for a while.

The only thing I do prefer to read on paper is manga, so that's what 90% of the fiction I own is.

I have another bookshelf, but it's mostly just math/programming/science stuff, along with some history.

Does anyone remember in winter of I think 2018 we doxxed that one dude with the unbelievable basement bookshelf in Washington DC? Looked like a used book store essentially. I think he was an adjunct professor at Georgetown? Possibly had a poli sci degree from Cornell? Idk. Either way he looked like a dike in the early stages of transitioning to male. Total fag.

>>17248392

Why is it that a lot of the books sitting upon a lot of these shelves are in such good condition?

>>17247406
i like it

>>17248876
Some people can read books without ruining them.

>>17248010
Not all of them though. Standing in front of a shelf full of German books and reading the texts on the spine can be exhausting, because you have to tilt to the left for one book and to the right for the next one

>>17246649

I hope you continue to expand your tastes into literature, anon. There are far greater rewards for doing so than you will find from all the WH40k and comic book collections that you started with.

ive read a lot of literature. But last year I had to downsize my collection and I kept the 40k books because those go out of print and the manga because I don't like buying more volumes of a series if I don't have all the previous ones. So that's mainly stuff I've read in the past year

Books as aesthetics: The thread
Might as well have funko pops on those shelves. Mindless consumerism.

>>17246581

>>17249744
Anon, these threads are about sharing, taking a photo of a bookshelf is a whole lot easier than making a list of all your books. Other anons can look at the shelves and find ones with a good percentage of books they like and be reasonably certain they will like anything on the shelf which they have not read. Most of the chat is just good natured fun and friendly jabs.

Literally just type the book titles. Or copy paste them. Easy. Of course this thread isn’t about the books themselves and their content though. It’s about showing off your arrangement of products and whether it looks good or not. This is basically a r*ddit thread.

>>17248705
what are your top 5 favorite manga?

>>17249787
I guess I just expect a little more from a maker of dictionaries.
>>17249797
I am not going to spend hours typing up the titles of all of my books, nor am I going to keep that up to date. Pictures are quick and efficient. Also this is an image board.

How exactly am I supposed to copy and paste the titles of physical books from my bookshelf? Are you actually suggesting I type their titles into a search engine and then copy the title from there? I can not see how this makes sense to you but it explains why you have so much difficulty with grasping the purpose of these threads which are as old as /lit/.

>>17246581
Have you read that entire Mushroom book OP?

>>17249797
Not him, but I'm of mixed minds on this. Certainly these threads can turn into a circlejerk of 'look at my books' and 'this anon is a pseud haha,' But several times in the past I've also learned of books I was unaware of by looking at anons' shelves and asking them about them. That seems to happen less and less these days but I don't think that it *never* happens anymore, and there can still be some value here. My own compromise is to only post my shelves 2 or 3 times a year; not really a comfortable resolution but it works well enough for me.

>Literally just type the book titles. Or copy paste them

I have somewhere around 1000 books. I'm not going to type all the titles by hand.

>>17249835
What are a few books you highly recommend?

>>17249841
In what field/area?

>>17249835
I find a few books in most every one of these threads I come into, which I only do a few times a year. I generally don't ask people about books though, I like going in blind.

>>17249830
Mushroom Magick? Yes I've read the bit of commentary and the introductions in it, but it's an art book full of paintings of psychedelic mushrooms (largely psilocybin & amanita) done by the same artist who did the cover art for "Dopesmoker" by the band Sleep. So there's not much to read. The other mushroom books are just reference.

>>17248876
It's easy to read a book and not come out with it tattered and torn, just don't be a retard.

Yeah, I know, I read junk.

>>17249915
I've got a second set of shelves but it's in the common area of the house and it's for all the housemates so the selection there is a lot more eclectic.

>>17249845
Could be nonfiction books that particularly interested you or you found helpful. Also any fiction books you really enjoyed. Last year I didn't do as much reading for fun, going to change that. I'd say I like suspense/thriller/adventure, though I feel like most fiction books are a combination of most genres anyways. To be more specific, I am interested in nonfiction history books as well.

>>17249915
What did you think of The Tarot Cafe and Angel Sanctuary?

>>17249932

>Literally just type the book titles.
go fuck yourself buddy. A picture takes a few seconds, typing up dozens or hundreds of titles isn't worth anyone's time

I'm always so suprised by how few books people who post in these threads have.

>>17250061
Plenty of reasons for this. Throwing/giving away old books, reading books on tablets/e-readers, etc.

>>17250061
I'll bite. Got roughly 30,000 and counting; currently one of the most concentrated private collections on the US eastern seaboard.

>>17250061
I just post the shelf that has my recently read, currently reading and soon to be read books.

>>17250116
Your inclination to bite is as constant as the northern star, Rapture.

>>17250061
The key isn't having books, but actually reading them.

>>17250116
Ugly shelves. You haven't read 1/30 of those books, and you're storing them like the compulsive buyer you are. Shame on you.

>>17249968

Tarot Cafe is by my favourite Manhwa creator, but that's more because of the art than because of her writing. It's gorgeous. The story is cute. I love the way the tarot weaves in and out of the narrative. She does a version of cards from famous decks at the beginning of each story and the way she changes her art style each time is a really effective hook.

Angle Sanctuary is my favourite Kaori Yuki series. Because it's Kaori Yuki, the main pairing is an incestuous brother and sister, but that's okay because they're actually both reincarnated- yeah, anyway. At the end you find yourself cheering them on. It's this long complicated saga of the brother travelling to Heaven and Hell to bring back his murdered sister's soul. It's incredibly twisty with dozens of characters, gorgeous art, bizarre takes the mangaka has on Western mythology... it's a fantastic read. I highly recommend it.

>>17250155

i love how the truly laziest trolls just assume i haven't read "x" number or something like this; you absolutely have no clue what i've covered, and the actual number would blow your tiny little mind

not only have i read from a great deal of them, i also anotate and scan in all the major selections.
pic related: it's one set of stacks of books i've read in the last 2 years alone that are fully written in and waiting to be scanned in. don't believe me? scroll to "pykewater seminars" and browse some of those titles; here's an example of some more stuff i've randomly read and scanned in lately: https://pykewater.com/pagekl

for anyone in academia, for anyone who actually does read, for anyone who owns their own library, the inability of the idiots of this board to even conceive that there is a world where people read a lot is mind-numbing.

the grass is greener on the other side, anon. sad that you won't even believe, won't even cede that there could be another side.

don't ever pretend you have some insight into how much i consumer my own library. you simply do not.

>>17250173
The problem with it is indeed that he's hardly read any of them. Isn't finding new books to read the main use of this thread? Gleaning recommendations from a library like Rapture's is totally pointless. Compare the generic (by /lit/ standards) but patrician library of >>17250183 from which we can find new books to read and even preferred editions and translations of works, from someone who probably put a fair amount of time into his choices

>>17248833
Yes! I vividly remember “glowworm” as a term he used which is on the site you linked. Plus pictures match up. Thanks broski

>>17249535
>I find that very humorous. What is wrong with your publishers?
I dont know, its pretty retarded. Its basically favors right handed readers. The German Wikipedia article "Buchrücken" argues, that the text from bottom to top is more efficient to find a specific title in a shelf (cover is the first thing you see when you take a book out of the shelf) and text from top to bottom is better for a stack (cover on the top and being able to read the title from the side). But this argument doesnt make sense (atleast for a left handed person like me), because it only holds true for right handed persons tilting their head to the left and using their left hand to grab the book. A left handed person also grabs the book with their left hand (atleast me), but normally tilts their head to the right, so the advantage of the text from bottom to top is lost. Seeing the cover first doesnt depend on the text, but rather on the hand you are using.

>>17250206
Still, ugly shelves.

Not him, but Waugh is a 20th century English writer, whose best works came out between the 20s and 60s. He was born into a relatively aristocratic family, and had fun with homosexuality in his youth an university days, and later became a conservative trad-cath reactionary who hated Vatican 2. He is one of the best chroniclers of the 'bright young things' set, and he did some very good and novel travel writing and helped expand that 'genre' into literary respectability. His most famous book is probably "Brideshead Revisited" which is very good and well worth reading.

Hey guys the other rapture1 is just pretending to be me, I'm the real rapture1. You're all right, I don't actually read my books, I mostly just like to cum in them and then close them and feel the cum ooze out the edges and absorb into the dry pages. God I'm going to go cum in a few now.

Now I know what you're thinking, he can't possibly have cummed in even a small fraction of these books. That's where you're wrong, folks, unlike many in this thread, I use my library. I know it's hard for many of you to imagine someone who actually uses books but it's the truth. I've cum in over 90% of these books. This post has a picture of the books I've cummed in just in the past month >>17250222

What's your max WPM reading rate

>>17250367
I've only read A Handful of Dust and The Loved One so far. Both were great, especially Handful of Dust. I think he sometimes gets pigeonholed as a comedic writer, but from what I read the value of his work, though it can be funny, doesn't rely on being funny. From what I've read he just seems like a great novelist with a good and natural sense of humor that shows in his writing, which I think is rare

>>17250485
i really dont know, and honestly find values like that totally arbitrary and unlinked to one's actual processing power/reading comprehension.
i have always endorsed the idea that one should take their time with texts that are worth it and that one should skip entirely texts that arent. i really value quality over quantity; having said that, i find it remarkable how little quantity is actual covered by a lot of /lit/'s posters--the ones who rely on things like number of words read, number of books read, etc.
that is not the essence of reading and i think it is contrary to a healthy relationship with knowledge.

i cover a lot of ground thoroughly simply because i read exactly what i want to read at any given time and consume it passionately. you'd be astonished how many words/books you can cover if you are pursuing questions and ideas you actually want to pursue.

>>17250525
Well I don't disagree w any of that. Just wondering what your top WPM rate is, approximately, after reading so much.
Like can you process really fast like Bill Gates claims.

>>17249430
When you actually read them they tend to wear out a bit

>>17250592
In non-fiction, especially those of the academic sort, they are written in a very formulaic way, the information is highly structured and once have this structure down you can more through the text quite quickly, you will not have to read word for word, you will isolate key words, see how they relate within the structure which gives you context and your brain fills in the rest. I always assumed this was by design, but who knows, i could just be autistic.

>>17250841
i have a full-fledged method of annotation that i've developed over years and really, really works for me. certainly there are many worthwhile methods out there; i can only speak to my own. it helps me dissect a text fairly quickly in a way i can return to later on (and i annotate those texts i intend to return to and engage); as a result, i tend to vacillate wildly per reading/text--i take my time, underline, reflect, go back on certain sections, etc.
pointing to a consistent WPM or something like that would be really hard and wouldn't really represent what i do/how i read. it's all too dependent on what is being read, for what purpose, and so on.
if i am not reading for annotation purposes, if i am reading something like a work of fiction that i don't want to eventually teach/talk about, i can cover roughly a novel (e.g. something the size of mrs. dalloway, or remains of the day, etc.) in about a day. longer novels take longer; deeper novels take longer; etc.

i do not own a single book i have not written in/do not intend to write in and annotate.

I am very stern on only keeping books that I actually like and will read again, I borrow a lot of books from the library and if I like them, I will try and find them at a half price books. I am very particular on what I want to buy so I don't like buying heaps of books I " might" check out or read. I also don't care about reading stuff that I don't want to read or stuff that is deemed a necessity to read . Basically quality over quantity. Same with my record collection.

it's supported by evidence. Highlighting and taking notes does not help retention of information.

>>17252384
I have no opinion on the research. What was dumb is that you said that highlightling is "useless, unless you're planning to come back to the books and skim again", i.e. the primary reason that I expect people highlight. It's like saying buying milk is useless... unless you plan on drinking it later. No shit

>>17252487
Not really dawg. Many people highlight and underline because they think it helps with retention. They have no intention of coming back. Now take your nigger ass out of here

>>17251123
Where to broski?

>>17251906
pls turn that one book the right way

>>17252487
as the other guy said, retention is the main reason people do those things. It's (maybe) useful for studying in school because it makes it easier to review before a test, but many people continue to do it after school without any intention of ever reviewing the notes.

>>17252655
what is your favorite on this shelf?

>>17252626
car wars? its a board game not a book, i think the lid falls off if i put it the other way

>>17246863
Give me your money

>>17252718
>retention is the main reason people do those things
Only if going back to re-read is implied when you say retention, otherwise I don't believe you. The main purpose of highlighting is obviously to make it easier to subsequently find the highlighted passage

>>17252807
>obviously
Anon, it might be obvious to you, but it's not obvious to everyone, hence it being the primary reason people highlight and take notes outside of school. I'm not going to argue with you about the state of reality. If you don't want to believe there are millions of people out their wasting their time for no reason, you don't have to.

>>17250860
Kant did it and he's smarter than you, pic related.

>>17250183
Have you read that Eco book? I thought about ordering some of his stuff.

>>17252847
I don't care what Kant did. It didn't help his retention. Maybe he went back and reviewed his notes, though, which literally no one does in real life.

>>17252851
kant is a faggot

>>17252851
>It didn't help his retention
This retard's an expert on Kant's brain now because he read some spurious study about retention trends.
>Maybe he went back and reviewed his notes
Oh, you mean the main purpose of highlighting and making notes
>literally no one does in real life
Literally no one uses notes and highlights for their primary purpose in real life. And literally no one uses cars for travel; we know that they're literally only used to exhibit status, or for racing

>>17253200
No, I'm an expert on Kant's brain because it is a human brain, and highlighters and note taking do not help human brains retain information. I'm sorry that you don't believe the research, I don't think there is much point continuing a discussion with someone who doesn't.
Most people never look over their notes. They think that there is value to creation of the notes even if they don't read them. Sorry that this subject triggers you so much.

Not that anon but I’ve read it. It’s not perfect and probably could have been shorter but it’s worth reading, especially if you’re interested in secret societies, conspiracy theories, etc.

Bad angle tyranny of the midwit bookshelf.

>>17253430
Do you have any reasons for saying that or no? Curious what what people have against him

>>17253403
I have a bunch of them, I just moved them to a separate shelf because I wanted more space for non warhammer books. I have the first 7 or so novels of the Horus Heresy, everything up to the victory pt. 1 of Gaunts ghosts, and two of the Ciaphas Cain omnibuses.

>>17253501
Every time anons put their bookshelfs, he is putting his own library, showing it, I mean...get a grip man, he is a low self esteem fgt, he is not humble person, and there is no way a human can read all those books in his lifetime.

>>17252850
>>17253464
I’m talking about Foucaults Pendulum, I didn’t see Name of the Rose on the shelf.

>>17252351
I bought Electronic and Experimental Music after downloading the chapter on the RCA synthesizer, which is absolutely amazing, was fairly disappointed by the rest of the book. Does not really go into that same sort of detail anywhere else. I also dislike how it is inconsistent regarding explaining techniques, but it is more a history book so can not really complain there.

Decent book overall, but know one has really covered the topic well and you really need many sources to get an overview.

Where is Runaway Horses?

>>17252759
I can't pick one... although if I had to it would be Plato, although I prefer Waterfield's translations now. My other top 3 are Process and Reality, De Rerum Natura, and William Blake. I've read 95 percent of what's on this shelf and love all of it though.

i don't know if you read much fiction, but would you be able to recommend any books similar to the third policeman? i specifically liked the surreal elements coupled with brian o'nolan's kind of witty, dark humor. Or alternatively, any surrealism written in English that isn't super well known. This might be out of left field, but you seem to know about a lot of books

If you have Telegram look up Chaos Press, most of the edgier and rare books I have came from them, plus they make the PDF of it available for free, it's a wonderful work. Thing is the print press they use, Lulu, usually cancels their projects within 2 weeks and then you need wait until they open another account.

>>17256517
I know it looks like I have a singular obsessive hyperfocus, and these days yes I do, but really it's just me making up for a lifetime of consuming neo-liberal propaganda and otherwise wasting my love of reading on pop fiction like King and GRRM. This is an overreaction but I also act as a sort of librarian of wrongthink for my friends who don't want to be put on a list for ordering this type of shit, which I'm most definitely on.
Got three books on loan atm, Hitler pour Mille Ans by Degrelle, Myth of the 20th Century by Rosenberg and Revolt Against The Modern World.
