Someday I'll clean my room enough to get a good picture of my bookshelves. Doesn't help that my phone camera is messed up as well.

>>17279129
Beautiful

>>17279129
Who still hase bookshelves? I just put them in a neat row under my bed and I have only spilled water over them twice. Clearly the superior method

>>17279129
You should dust your books and clean the shelves better.

>>17279954
Why hide them?

>>17279841
Every time I tried to take a photo of my book shelves you couldn't clearly read half the spines. Also my books are on the top half of multiple shelves and some are just in stacks spread across multiple rooms.

>>17279996
I don't hide all of them only the ones that would not look good if company came over. Underside of my bed is open so between the legs I putt them in a long row

>>17279129
Don't have a bookshelf. just a few cardboard boxes and a few floor stacks

>>17279996

For the love of God, please judge me

>>17280793
Actually quite a good selection. You should add some ancients to it though

>>17280818
Any specific recommendations? I'm not especially interested in Greek philosophy, if that makes a huge difference.

>>17280793
i have like 6x that amount

>>17280793
I like your copies of typee and White jacket. who is the publisher?

>>17280827
The Odyssey and the Iliad at least. Maybe some of the other major greeks like Sophocles, or some of the Romans like Virgil

>>17280793
very decent actually. i would recommend some ernst jünger to try something a little different.

>>17280793
Based Robert Anton Wilson and David Sedaris. Only thing missing is Hypnerotomachia Poliphili.

>>17279996
why do /k/ tards always have the most predictable midwit meme taste

>>17280793
needs more philosophy and poetry

>>17280878
you can see odyssey and iliad at the top

>>17280793
>>17279996
wont stacking them like that crease the spines of the books?

>>17280836
Published by some little outfit called (I think) Quality Paperback Book Club, or something along those lines. I believe I've seen Billy Budd and other Melville stories also published by them

>>17282955
Mine is a rotated photo of a regular bookshelf, so that the titles are easier to read

>>17280793
You're a midwit if you don't add some books on quantitative subjects like math or logic. You're missing about half of what reality can offer

>>17280827
Iliad, Odyssey, Sophocles "Theban" plays, Thucydides, maybe Hesiod (Theogony if you like mythology, Works & Days if you like p(P)roverbs.

>>17282352
>need more loners and queers

>>17283377
Please enlighten me on how to get interested in this if I've had an ingrained aversion to mathematics since childhood. I want to add stuff like this into my self-education, but I just can't get interested. Are there any good intro texts for this to help bridge the gap?

>>17279996
Very based but we probably wouldn't get along irl very well

>>17282955
Yes.

>>17279129
I need to take my late 19th-century bookcase out of the basement. It could use a good cleaning. It has glass as well.

>>17280793
IS THAT A READER'S DIGEST CONDENSED VERSION OF THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV?!
I own it too.

>>17279129
this shelf looks overbuilt as fuck lol...looks like you were half way done building a squat rack and changed your mind

>>17279996
how many copies of gulag do you have? i can see prob 5. also that version of red book is pretty fucking dope

Built it with my dad when I moved into my new house, obviously needs another coat of paint.

>>17283619
Anon, that's a penguin version

>>17283779
I must have been mistaken.

>>17283773
Cool collection, David.

>>17279996
Always knew philosophyfags and /pol/tards are one and the same.

>>17285055
So far so good

>>17286496
Some really lovely spines in there

>>17279996
>Kosinski
you should read steps if you haven't already

>>17280793
I'd recommend trying some Iris Murdoch if you haven't read her yet, the bell or black prince to start

>>17283773
what the fuck is in that plastic bag

U rdy for dis?

>>17286632
Needs more 19th century furniture.

>>17286632
really good, if this is your place can you send some more pictures?

>>17286655
Its my dads library

>>17279129

>>17286713
Nah, he's a musician.

God I adore eclectic styles like that

I wish i could get that motherfucker to do a youtube channel. He knows so much about so many things, he read goethe's faust to me on the phone a couple weeks back and it was the coolest shit ever. But the dude's depressed as shit and only comes alive when he smoked some weed.
Its a real shame, he has so much to give but ge just doesn't. His dad used to chain him in the cellar and then threw firewood pieces at him. Now most of what he does is recreate with his children the same neglect he suffered as a child. He will die soon and this stuff will end up god knows where. We are all failures with no place of our own to house all this shit.

This is so cringe that even good books like ulyses, the red book, plato's republic and twilight of the idols appear cringe.
