Go easy on him, most kids around here don't even know what terms like "acid-free," or, "sewn-binding," even means. To them every book is the same quality as a thrown around Goodwill mass-market paperback of The Outsiders.

Those are all like 80 pages. And reading is not entirely about “enjoying” but more so learning.

What's your endgame for all that knowledge? Personally, I'm not willing to cuck myself for some based knowledge. Maybe I'm filtered, who knows, but I am of the opinion that one can gain just as much from a novel like Catch-22 as one can from any book on your shelf, all the while enjoying the read. There's only so much theoretical knowledge you can apply in daily life.

>>18311451
Because the post-industrial revolution society that rejected spirituality/religion has been drastically reformed by mass-politics in the early 20th century and solidified by the post-war ramifications of global total war. This has metaphysical repercussions that is ultimately the most engaging and pertinent area to discuss in the 21st century as we progress into the final stage of capitalism and enter the ultimately dark neoliberal hellscape that we will hate but nonetheless deserve.

>>18311920
It’s not a published book, but rather a collection of my favorite futurist writings, including the Futurist Manifesto. I converted the font and edited the layout to make them consistent with Author and date. It was bound by my ex, who used string and glue in a traditional bookbinding technique. I cut a $.50 paper folder for the cover, and hand copied the logo of the Futurist Political Party for the front

Somewhat this. There is however a lot of fiction. I have also seen a few Islamic readers.

But yes, there is so much nazi sperg shit. I'm not so fussed as to 'lITeraLLY FUckiNG NAzI' shit, but more that it overwhelmingly populates a lot of this. With that also comes the "new thing bad, old thing good" (unless it's Pynchon).

>>18314738
People misinterpret my exasperation with the Christianity/nazi/politics obsession as pearl-clutching or the seethe of a leftist. I really don't care that much about the content itself. If you're interested in that by all means read about it, but it reeks of a desperate, demented desire to fit in. There are a select few books that in content aren't anything remarkable, but have through the memes become borderline-pathetic virtue signals: "Guys, am I cool? I have the entire NatSoc chart from /lit/. Am I cool? Guys? Guys???". And let's face it, the moment anyone visits their house they are hiding those books like the cowards they are.

I thought the corresponding male garment wasn't called a kimono, but something else. The suggestion is that you're one of those cross-dressing crypto fascists, or else simply using the wrong word.

The collection is very good (note the old hardback of the early French Cioran book) but the strict ordering by height above all other considerations and front-stacking are both wrong. My dear old dad who I have a good relationship with, also uses both incorrect practices for his stuff. The Audubon stuff is nice to see as "general interest" reference. Consider having some Math/science texts, if you don't have any.

What's the Arno Breker book?

>>18327531
27. I smoke cigarettes and weed to keep me focused while taking notes

>>18326709
I order by height because it helps with clean lines for the aesthetic of my apartment and helps keep my visual space orderly and lawful. Front stacking is bad? Like putting them to the edge of the shelf? Why is that wrong? I’m interested to know.

>>18328128

Both ordering choices are wrong in a sense, the first because it places aesthetic presentation above practical use, implying a dead display case rather than a library that is actually used and lived. Not because of the mentioned ordering itself, but because of how it should look in the apartment, as you said. The major problem with front stacking is that it again suggests a dead shelf practice, and it's easy to bump things out of plane. Still, one keeps series together when they look nice (the Audubon stuff).


There are reasonable objections to these observations. If one's personal library is only a few hundred volumes, then one is free to organize as one sees fit, of course-you can make your own mental map. But this becomes untenable when a real library is amassed (a few thousand volumes or more), and then one must use real thematic schemas, not depending on the size of a given volume, except for the severest physical constraints (oversized books vs. tiny things). On this point, my art books and heavy books are on my bottom shelves out of practical considerations. You should do the same with your top-shelf heavy interesting looking Futurist books.

>>18328249
You’re totally right, although I could name where each book is if asked without looking. And I also hate my flimsy shelf bending with my giant art books, but they simply don’t fit on my temporary case, and I don’t want to keep them stacked vertically, as they’d be hard to access at ease.

As for not loving or using them, I love them immensely, but like everything I own, I take very good care of. I could read a book three times and it won’t even have spine creases

Next two, Nabokov to Waltari. I am currently reading Infinite Jest so it will be included here.

>>18329421
The final row, with Waltari and Whitman. It sucks to have such a small shelf – I have had to curb down my collection because the books wouldn't fit, and sent the rest of the collection to my mum.

You can transfer it through USB if you want to pirate it but kindle uses their own proprietary file format and doesn't allow reading epub formatted books so you'll have to convert the file on your computer.

What's wrong with buying a paperback Bible especially if you like translation and the cover art?? Stupid pseuds. I love you but you're wrong.

>>18334095
excellent taste friend, both in author and publisher

No

You don't have your use your computer to convert to .mobi. There are lots of sites and Android apps.

The point is that an Oxbridge/Penguin/paperback edition is the type of edition which is purchased by atheists who want to "read the bible as literature" and choose that type of edtion in order to distance their personal consumption from the slightly different type of object which is actually used by adherents. You know what I'm talking about: black faux-leather cover, gilt title, that sort of thing. You know, what an actual fucking bible looks like. t. atheist who owns two KJV copies along the above lines.

>>18332000
where did you find almost transparent blue?

>>18334813
my ex gifted it. he bought it from ebay i think

Ok but please don’t make fun

>>18335226
Not much to make fun of anon. You've got pretty good taste. The only issue one could say is there aren't enough hard covers.

>>18335226
I'm not really one to say but there's not really enough to make fun of anon, lol
Maybe someone will call you boring, idk

>>18320106
wtf, how are the books on the right floating?

>>18334424
I'm a baptized Anabaptist. I have several other Bibles and I bought this copy because I liked it and I like Oxford World Classics (the new ones) and I didn't own a KJV Bible, and I wanted a physical KJV to read rather than read it on my Kindle.

What's the problem with Wordsworths? They sell thick ass tombs for 2.90e where I live and the quality is good enough.

>>18330403
>Shity german bas relief

Also have Karamazov Brothers which are currently being read

>>18335633
Is that a Macmillan Don Quixote? I've only their Hamlet; how is their build quality on large books? Is it just the same as the small? i.e., the charming light blue oak-leaf patterns and gilded edges.

Also how are you enjoying The Karamazov brothers? Personally I'm more a fan of Dosto's other works.

>>18310136
I totally disagree but holy based

>>18335527
i wish i had your iq

>>18335758
They're all good books, just have colorful covers. Exactly which ones apart from Murakami do you consider to be ass?

>>18335722
> Macmillan Don Quixote
I'll admit that I haven't read it. The book itself is lovely but I doubt that I would be able to read something of that length in a font that small. I'd say it's more like a collector's item than a practical novel to be read.
> The Karamazov Brothers
For some reason, I'm really enjoying the book. I was of the belief that I would dislike it and that it would be more boring. It's my first time reading anything by a classical Russian author and it has positively surprised me.

>>18335991
I can't deal with small fonts either myself.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it. Very few people start with Brothers, it's considered Dosto's magnum opus so they normally start with C&P or one of his shorter works. If you enjoy it I'd strongly recommend other Russian authors (especially Dosto); they all have a kind of similar 'bleak Russian planes' feel about them that's quite distinct from the usual western novels.

>>18313943
Really depends. Will say I tend to exclusively buy them for English-language writers. Anything translated I tend to pick up something very specific to what I need.

>>18336035
I saw it memed here a lot and decided to give it a read. Didn't expect myself to be drawn into it. Eventually, I'd like to try reading his works in Russian. Even though I am fluent in the language, I'm twice as slow reading it which discourages me from even picking something up.

>>18308479
