hey /lit/ I always enjoy your company on these boards. I wanted to ask a question, as to wether or not this was ok. My favorite book is 1984, and I like collecting multiple editions of this book, even though i have a good copy. Does anyone else do this?

not sure if serious.


however, no. A good book needs no duplication to prove it's awesomeness

I collect books in different languages. I suppose that's similar.

I have several different editions of the Dune books. The covers are neat.

ITT: capitalist fat-cats proclaim their wealth by buying irrelevant copies of everything.

I like to collect different copies of Good Omens, but that's just because I loan them out all the time. Besides, curse them for making two different covers for the most recent edition. Once I had the Crowley version I simply had to get the Aziraphale one.

Well played.

Get out of here pissant. Now excuse me while I smoke a $100 bill filled with the bone marrow of African children.

Is it wrong that your reaction image made me lol even harder than the original post?

Also, I like where this thread is going...

A storm of reaction images, before it's deleted by the moderators. I'm all in favour of riding the lightning straight to hell.

Let's do this.

I have three copies of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell in three different languages. They all have the same design, except for cover color. If I go travelling this year, I'm going to get a few more, just for the hell of it.

Oh! I have three copies of Jonathan Strange as well. One red hardback, one black paperback and one on my kindle.
It's so amazing.
