God, what a pointless and useless thread.

God, what a pointless and useless reply.

>>18248110
No, I agree with >>18248094. Yeah, it's harmless fun and maybe someone will post an interesting shelf that someone else will see and get some good recs from...but most posts will just be masturbatory "hey, look what I own/read" shit. It needed to be said.

Who /evangelical/ here?

i only got a stacc at the moment sorry senpai.

God, what a pointless and useless way to spend your life

>>18248329
you should convert to Roman Catholicism

>>18248396
It's a bit old now, 1993, but it's really useful. Articles on loads of Biblical topics even including niche stuff like the influence of Epicureanism on the New Testament. The article on Bible translations is excellent.

reorganised my shelf today

>>18248378
how did you like the LSD book? worth it?

>>18248414
Do you honestly think that constitutes a retort?

>>18248569
yes it was an interesting read overall.
great if you took a bunch of lsd and erased a year of your life because of "muh electric wizard" also without knowing any better and you fancy a more profound knowledge on lsd.

Based Montaigne reader. Are you missing the third part or is your edition divided into only two books?

>>18248540
To go against conscience is neither right nor safe.

>>18248674

>>18248650
Not bad, how is that Kai Murros book?

>>18248778

KM book is fascinating. You can tell the guy is a "maoist-fascist" if you will.

>>18248859
Last month's issue of The Herald of His Coming. I just started getting it. It has various articles and excerpts from a lot of names I don't know but on the whole it is good stuff. It is free to receive or you can read them online.

Then you're a moron.

All of your books look really good. But what stood out to me was the "I burn Paris". Is it good?

>>18249197

It's like a decadent novel crossed with a communist takeover in France. I think it's good.

How do you think Amazon knows what books you might be into?

>>18249539
I don't care if Amazon knows what types of books read; I only buy books from my local bookshop.

>>18248329
why the fuck would anyone be a protestant in 2021 ?

>>18249427

Is Debt by David Graeber any good? Very good shelf, especially Peace, Stewart Lee, and Kermode (LOL), I feel like we'd be friends IRL.

>>18248087
You're missing a Quran between your religious books

>>18250182
That's like asking why people have cuck fetishes. Human psychology is strange, anon.

>>18248329
Convert to Roman Catholicism or you will go to hell.

My mother has the same taste as you.

>>18248703
I'd be friends with you irl. We'd have awesome conversations, I bet.

>>18248149
Honestly, from all things people take pride in, the aquisition of literature really isn't something we should talk down - especially as it's great to get recs from similar minds. It's like walking through a friends library or an atiquarian book shop and get ice surprices plus the benefit of being able to talk with the owner which most likely has read it already if it's any good.

I get it that those which can't affort physical copies get salty but you people could just as well make a cover collage to contribute instead of bashing a thread which really doesn't belong to the worst of /lit/.

>>18249539
Amazon obviously doesn't cconsidering they constantly delete the rare gems one might find there due to political reasons. But than again, I'm using Nord, so for all I car they think I'm living in Boznia Herzogovina and am too poor for the physical aquisication eitehr way.

>>18252196
Get an e-book

>>18250231
On the top shelf

>>18252383
Why should I, when I can bequeath my library to my children, full of literature long forgotten and forbidden at that point?

This will make someone confused, I got that feeling.

>>18252884
No one gives a shit about you or your books faggot.

If I fail these dubs I will unironically (probably, when I get around to it) become an hero.

Check em

>>18253057

>>18248087
Insanely boring

>>18253289
sorry bro i tried

>>18253275
how do you figure that?

>>18248329
Yo very nice shelf. Are you studying in sem? Want to buy my 5 vol work set of John Knox banner of truth?

>>18248703
That crusades history book is really freaking good.

>>18253353
Not a seminary student. I'm actually trying to downsize. I've got a few Banner works sets that I still need to find room to display. Brooks, Bunyan, and all the old SDG reprints of Watson, Burroughs, and Baxter among them. I went a bit overboard with book buying when I came to the Reformed faith.
