picture OP crying and putting these books in a box, hiding it under his bed, hastily ordering the entire F. Gardner collection. OP spent so long amassing a collection he could post and be proud of. Too bad he couldn't predict...The Gardner Paradigm

>>18407706
>all that philosophy
Philosophy fags who bury themselves in it are always the dullest and dimmest drones out there. It's like they're ticking off a list of "books that will make me smart" without actually getting any smarter.

Even one book can be a library.

>>18407706
Needs more Plotinus

>>18407928
Even a single anon can't be this retarded and homo.

You still live with your parents don't you?

Go ahead. Tell us what constitutes a library.

They’re coffee table styled. Meanest to be displayed with the covers up. Either that or read aloud from a podium. The weird formatting honestly makes the memes even better.

Very based indeed. Now show your devotional corner to the Greek gods

>>18408026

Call of the schroedinger more like it, Gardner grows more based with each passing day

>>18407706
plotinus is based, today ive read sixth ennead and it opened my fourth eye, pretty good stuff

and that last paragraph... it gave me goosebumps

"This is the life of gods and of the godlike and blessed among men, liberation from the alien that besets us here, a life taking no pleasure in the things of earth, the passing of solitary to solitary."

Only if the green books are the Summa Theologiae.

>>18408145
>Loeb instead of Bibliotheca Teubneriana
Cringe

>>18408231
Alien?

>>18408298
yeah, plotinus knew...

>>18407706
are you in the monistic union or theistic union interpretation of plotinus?

>>18407706
Those Loeb covers are disgusting, especially in contrast to the actual cover. Thow that shit away.

OP is a fag for a variety of reasons, but his sense of interior decor is not one of them. He has a cheap door-desk, a desklamp that he's trying to use as an area lamp, and some shitty brown kombucha and some orange juice. I don't know what about this picture suggests a sense of cohesive interior design or decoration.

>>18407706
Looks like it has no real world application so yeah.

All those Greeks but none of the correct ones. Complete and unadulterated cringe.

>>18408087
This looks like the one bookshelf that would be in hell.

>tfw poorfag and will never be able own collections of proper editions of historical, religious, philosophical, etc books

>>18410405
I'm a poorfag too and I own one that I built up from buying used books and books from charity shops but yeah, it sucks when there's that particular book you want and it costs more than $10 used :(

>>18407710
>bible, "catholic edition"
How much more of a tyke can one be?

Why is the Gerson version so thick? Size 16 print? Two pages of footnotes per page of text?

>>18410506
The actual text of the Enneads is like 850 pages in total, and the footnotes usually take up 5-10% of the average page

>>18407706
where is the little shrine to the gods?

>>18410747
My great books of the western world version is 360 pages, though the text is spaced like the Bible.

>>18407706
noice

Gerson's books are so fucking expensive though. The hardback version costs 187 US dollars, paperback 70.

>>18407706
You're so cringe. Pictures like that (and the fact itself of posting them) make me think I'm in the presence of an absolute pseud.

>>18407710
All yous are samefag. This guy writes his own reviews and the books are shite. My heart goes out to the guy and i wish he understood more people would read his stuff if he shilled them on reddit pretending to be a cancer patient or something

>>18409782
OP is clearly a chick

>>18407706
ok it's a nice setup

E-reader + Calibre, that is the way of the frugal reader anon

Anybody else have Calibre libraries? We should get together and share sometime

>>18414191

Extremely cringe.

>>18414242
How else do I get paid to read Plato.

>>18410405
You can though. If you do the maths on even expensive books like Pléiade you will see that it doesn't work out to much cash at all. For example, Pléiade Rousseau Tome 1 is about 2000 pages and costs maximum 35 euro used. Assuming you read 80 pgs a day and take a day off once a week, you'll get through the book in about a month, i.e. a cost of a little more than a euro per day. I don't believe that you cannot set aside that amount of money for reading.

And of course, this is worst case scenario economics, and in most editions are cheaper than pléiade.

>>18407706
Are you the Platonism General poster? or do you wish you were?

>>18414281
not him but its quite difficult for a third worlder who would have to import most of those

>>18408066
Where can I get this? I'm in the EU

>>18414381
>EU
You can't

>>18414386
Why not?

>>18414381
Just look up "Kava". Its technically a drug of some sort. I'll go have some kava tea, actually...
>>18414403
Maybe its illegal in the EU. I wouldn't know, I'm an amerimutt.

>>18414239
Yeah I do that too but I also like having a collection
A collection of slightly damaged paperbacks but a collection nonetheless...

The best library is the one you have with you

>>18415181
The true library is the friends you make along the way

Does anyone else have a problem with collecting things especially books?
I'm not a hoarder but I really do like buying nice books
