>>19177951
I do. I suppose it's been a long time since I posted a picture, so here's my semi-annual update. Hope that everyone is well.

(Also, nice bows. Who is the maker of the recurve?)

>>19178154
Patrician taste, the safari helmet sells it. The recurve is a wing. Hope you're doing okay as well, I know I am. Started my new job today, and set new goals.

Reading by a window or on the front porch are my favorites.

>>19178206
>The recurve is a wing
Nice, and looks beautiful. I have an old Martin recurve, but I haven't been shooting in... probably 10+ years at this point. It's been too long. Anyways, good luck at your new gig, anon!

>>19178225
Front porch for sure

>>19178229
Thanks! And take your bow out and shoot some styrofoam.

Thanks, we had a huge heat wave this summer and it's not looking great now, hoping it comes back strong in the spring

I have a small room so I unironically read at cafes or libraries.

Fucking cringe, bro.

It's a 3+ year old bait picture from /reddit/, and it therefore best to simply ignore it.

>>19177951
I read at my desk a lot while I'm waiting for the yahoos I work with to respond to my emails.
I'd rather just walk to their offices and talk to them but I live 5 states away.
If it's nice out I read in my backyard so I can smoke cigars. Nothing fancy, but nothing too cheap.

>>19178385
Looks cozy

Aeschylus’ collected works.

I was randomly lifted off probation with no reason given and then followed by the coast guard in a boat the exact same day. Probably because I was going to the island that the Governor lives on.

>>19179202
Back in the 90s, when I was a kid play Need for Speed II, I used to think that the thing on the left was a bizarre eyesore. I wasn't wrong.

It'll be fine if you watch it like a hawk. My dad had one in Florida, so yours should be okay.

>this nigga reads books on cozy spaces
Lmaooo he be beatin his own box too

>>19178673
You need to extend those bookcases all the way up and get a rolling ladder, it’s the sensible thing to do

>>19178351
I see I've convinced someone to read Jalousie and Dans le Labyrinthe even if it is in English.

Nice rug. How often do you use your recurve?

>>19178665
Thanks anon. Yes, the bookshelf on the left is new; I replaced a sliding closet door that had been there with bookshelves from a company called murphy door (the shelves can swing out so that I still have access to the closet). I had several stacks of books on the ground that had gotten out of hand because I had no shelf space for them, and these let me get that under control; even with the addition I am close to capacity though.

I have additional bookcases on order to replace the other shelves in my office as well; they should provide another ~18 feet of shelf space (going taller with my main bookcase, and I'll also have shelves going up each side of the window). That will probably last me another two years, after which I'll probably end up with stacks on the floor again, haha.

Hope that you are well, anon.

>>19178673
I didn't chime in on your previous thread, but this looks very comfy. I hope that your legal problems with Seattle/Washington get settled in short enough order, anon.

>>19178225
I hate those windows, I'm always compelled to look in them and then I always make really awkward eye contact with people inside who think I'm being nosy.

Where's the gondola anon from the previous thread

I read on my bed (sleeping bag) on the ground in an almost empty room

>>19179799
Yeah I think so as well. I actually got this one from my dad, will probably see how it does this year and might re-pot it the year after

>>19182697
This one?

>>19180172
Not much anymore. It's twisted and idk where a bowyer is around me.

Oh, forgot cs lewis and Geoffrey Chaucer and the eddas and beowulf. I need the never ending story next. I've got "The Wake" by Paul kingsnorth on the way.

>Lysimachus cast
Anon, I cannot thank you enough for finally identifying who the bust is of. I ordered it, sight unseen, from the Museum Company, which had a text description of the bust saying that it was a bust of Cicero. From some angles I can maybe see a resemblance, but it certainly isn't a bust of the jowly and lovable Cicero that I have seen before. Looking up Lysimachus, I can clearly see a very real resemblance! I've been wondering somewhat annoyedly and somewhat abstractedly who the bust was of for nearly a decade now. Thank you so much for identifying its subject. Now to see what I can read up about Lysimachus and his life and times (I only know him as a footnote to Alexander's story, but hopefully there is more there to discover!).

this seems a little excessive, was it too much to just hang a paper saying "I HATE JOOOS" instead?

Why are you on house arrest?

>>19178154
is that a set of Churchill's history of WW2 there on the right?

My chair and my yard.
I read here from 5am until I leave for work at 8am.
I return home at 4pm and read until I please with the assistance of overhead patio lights.
Currently reading Sophocles.
The woman visiting my neighbour is complaining about her young son being sex driven.
Pottery?

>>19184294
Yes. Also there is his 'History of the English Speaking Peoples.' In my younger days I went on a minor Churchill kick. He's a good and engaging writer, though in hindsight he skews a bit more towards pop-history than he does serious/academic history. Still worth reading, especially the works that he wrote from first-hand experience.

>>19184330

The Opera House is truly beautiful. You have to be on the ground to best appreciate it. The design is straight magic. It like attracts the flow of the landscape of the city and forms itself. Idk how to explain... Plebs will never understand.
