Hola.

Shit op, nice room
Looks comfy

until i get new reading glasses

What the fuck are you guys running?

let me guess, you "need" more?

>>21011902
Nice woods

>>21011942
Still cozy crampt.

>>21011966
I had once rented laundry room not much bigger than that. Had to unroll my sleeping bag diagonally.
Rent was like $300 or something.

>>21011961
intellectuals typically don't use windows idk who didn't tell you

I like it comfy.

>>21011902
Why can't you guys just read normally?

>>21012802
Reading is already abnormal.

>>21012802
Take a gengar.

>>21012731
Anon, whats the red framed thing there on the wall?

>>21013562
haha don't worry about it

>>21013562
Just an abstract painting with abstract things that don't mean anything. It's only there to look pretty.

>>21011902
Damn I'm jealous as fuck of that 3d chess set.

I also often read in bed but with more interesting books I'll keep a pdf version on hand so I can screenshot interesting paragraphs

>>21012816
So you don't read?

>>21013683
Why the fuck would you think anyone posting here would be normal? Do you have autism?

>>21013646
>drugs and tarot
oof

>>21013690
Man, just open a book, why the fuck would you need a "Readingstation"

>>21013607
Uuuh

>>21013700
Because I can afford it. Being poor is for starting readers.

>>21011942
you're not afraid of all those books falling over your head and killing you? looks comfy otherwise though

>>21013702
Don't you like abstract art, anon? It lets the mind wander. :^)

>>21013709
>not wanting to die the most comfy way buried under what you love (books)

>>21013720
this but with women's asses

>>21013715
Nice edge but both look like menstrual blood stains in old underwear.

>>21013699
it's prescription ibuprofen and the tarot book was a gift :(

>>21013725
Writing assignment: Write a story about a guy who keeps women's asses on his shelf and accidentally suffocates when they topple all over him when he was just sitting in his ass station enjoying asses.

>>21013729
It's not wrong. The series sold well. In the future I'll go more for the "spilled guts" look though.

>>21013734
>throwing the person who gave you tomberg's lovely tarot book under the bus because some faggot on 4chan tried to style on you
You don't deserve her, even if the book was something embarrassing you still shouldn't take the thought and kindness that went into gifting it to you and cast it on the ground at some anon's feet like that

>>21013734
But what about the mushroom and "herbs" books?

>>21013750
it was a guy that gifted me the book and I'm not throwing him under the bus at all, I'd never dream of it. The book holds sentimental value for me and I didn't say anything bad about it, you guys aren't really giving me the benefit of the doubt either way :\

>>21013756
you got a problem with herbalism and foraging in the woods while hiking? I feel sorry for you.

>>21013646
What's with the private detective tier map?

>>21013801
memento from a trip I took. It also makes for a good surface to attach my post it notes to (they don't stick to the walls as reliably)

>>21011902
Looks like a waste of money.

>>21013801
This is 4chan so it’s probably where the bodies are buried.

>>21013900
Money is there to spend, poorboy.

>>21013923
If you don't make at least twice what your dad made, and he didn't make at least twice what his father made, you aren't wealthy, you're "rich." Don't brag about being rich, you trust fund babby.

>>21013720
I'm going to use my fortune to build a tomb (Large enough that the cost to have it demolished will be too great to be worth it) and fill it with my library and other worldly belongings.

>>21013932

What are three Satanist books to start me off? And don't mention The Meme of the Month.

>>21017023
Three Satanist books? Just look at what is displayed in any modern contemporary bookstore.

>>21017030
lmao

I mostly read while I shit. I love reading but I don't make much time for it. Fortunately I shit a lot, usually once at home. So I get through a few pages of a book every day. I don't read a lot at the time but do it consistently and have ended up reading more than when I used to read 1-2 chapters at a time occasionally.

I use two bookmarks. One as a regular page book mark and then a little sticky note to mark the line that I'm at.

>>21012693
I hope it was $300 per year. JFC that's insane for a presumably warm damn place to unroll a sleeping bag.

>>21017071

How the fuck? I pay 300 for 45 square meters.

your setup seems incredibly söy

We have these type of Sherrill club chairs in the corners of the upstairs master room. I read in one. Normally it's not covered in kids' clothes, remodeling their closet today.

I read at the park, standing up, or somewhere in the house. Standing has helped me a great deal.

yall niggas seriously read at computer chairs or you just posting your battlestation plus books

>>21019341
No te rindas, un sillón y un par de estanterías cambiaron mi vida >>21011942 vos también podes.

>>21013646
Anon it looks like we have similar interests but I see those programming books, how do you cope? I fell for the CS meme and I fucking hate it.

>>21020164
Personally I read on my couch or outside on my deck

>>21017659

>gaming laptop
the mouse isn't bad actually it's not a mouse it's a trackball

>>21013646
what chair is that

>>21016107
these can't contain the balls

>>21020660
GRUPPSPEL chair in gunnared beige from IKEA. I highly reccommend it, it's extremely comfortable and remarkably affordable all things considered.

>>21019211
I haven't been able to really work through it much yet since I got too busy with classwork while in uni to work on my compsci memery. Now that I graduated and I'm about to move for work I expect to have more time to throw at it.
>>21020304
I think I lucked out because I switched from compsci to another engineering field that is more aligned with my values and lifestyle. I still have a lot of interest in compsci and the ML nonsense, but I take great satisfaction in learning about it intermittently and at my own pace. This summer I taught myself SQL for example, and I'm planning on working through a linear algebra course next month to build more foundational skills. Keeping compsci as a silly passion of mine has allowed me to stay happy with it, being around computer people and aspirational silicon valley types was driving me insane and I'd hate to actually be limited to that industry in a professional setting.

>>21011902
I walk in circles in my living room/kitchen.

This is mine

He could be in Canada. Their money is worth less than American dollars and their cities are even more overpriced on average.

>>21013608
Nice chair

>>21012731
is that door thick?

>>21013646
nice setup. like the map, but the blue tape looks ugly. the desk also looks way too short and your glasses are gay

>>21021688
It's always open. There are no noises here to disturb any reading session.

Any recs for reading chairs? I'm always fighting either drowsiness or discomfort.
This >>21012731 looks good, but I'd probably fall asleep after an hour. These >>21013608 >>21021501 look pretty great.

>>21021769

Yes: Go to furniture stores and test literally everything until you find something you like. It took me two weeks and a dozen stores to find my chair. Everything else was uncomfortable as fuck.

Which one?

>>21022356
>shelves held up by bbcs

>>21021696
yeah it would be weird for a guy to wear women's glasses anon. I like the blue tape because it matches the map. I dunno what you mean about the table being too short but it's a good size for me. I think you're just nitpicking.
>>21022356
I appreciate the obnoxious american nature of your book collection, but your little dishes on the side table look like dirty ashtrays. Is this all of your book collection or do you have other bookshelves?

>>21012731
Looks comfy. I like that sawhorse in particular.

>>21022487
agricultural engineering. While I have many problems with the industry and I'm not even working in that industry right now, it connects many of my interests. Now I not only have a basic mech.eng skillset but also a good understanding of applications in a much underestimated and misunderstood industry that we cannot live without at any point. It has opened so many cool doors in my life and I highly recommend it if you like self-learning-- any skill you pick up will probably come in useful somehow.

>>21022555
That's a three-step Ikea ladder. It's not great but it does the job of letting me reach up the top of shelves while also serving as a place to put the books I'm currently reading.

>>21022568
Thanks anon, that does sound pretty cool. I wish you the best.

>>21020596
Very comfy

i have one of these in leather. the library has floor-to-wall bookshelves i got from ikea. fits about 1k books. i haven't been to my house in 6 months so i can't take a picture

>>21011902

>>21011966

>>21024014
Are those any good?

>>21023845
Oh I don't mean that disparagingly, it's just that you have an impressive collection of what appears to be almost exclusively american authors. It looks like a nice selection although I personally do not care at all for Bukowski. Can you post some of your other shelves?

>>21021032
Pacing is very underrated. I can read for 5+ hours a day now whereas before I'd be sleepy 20 minutes into reading.

also, back on the subject, a chaise longue with an overhead light gives airline cabin vibes. Best way to read.

>>21021769
Don't listen to >>21021778. Go to Craigslist and local thrift stores/restore and get a chair for literally nothing. That way you won't be worried about it breaking or wearing out. My chair in >>21013608 was free, from a friend's aunt who was going to throw it away. It's hard to tell with my amber reading light, but the whole chair is sunbleached to fuck for sitting in front of a window for 40 years.
