What if you want a book from the bottom of the pile?

>IJ
>Taipei

This is bait, right?

>>6892240

Let's not argue about anon's book taste. We should admire that comfy looking chair instead. :^)

Found this in the net, this is my goal setup...
But I think light might be a problem in here.

>>6892219
in my car when I'm on a ferry to and from work.

in my bed right before sleep every night.

kek in the shower
you tellin me you read more than shampoo bottles, you uppity bourgeois nerd ?

>>6892233

I'm not sure those books look so heavy I'm sure it's lost forever

>>6892635
>in my car
Dangerous.

That's a lot of Pinecone.

>>6892219
It feels kinda weird to see someone else post a picture of your living space.

Is that a smart way to store books? I think the weight might bend the lower ones.

>>6893617
It's not that much weight. I doubt they will be perma bended.

>>6892219

Anybody know where to get that lamp? Asked in the thread OP (probably) got the pic from, but no results. It looks neat.

>>6893806

>>6893773

>>6892219
>having a cozy little nook to read in like some old lady
how fucking dumb. kill yourself. bourgeois tool. sit on the couch like a damn man and read not in your cuck chair

>>6893590
Dude, where did you get that lamp (and what is it called?) It looks dope af, currently I have a recliner but no good light, I have an architects lamp, but it isn't high enough, so it is fucking annoying to use. Could use one like yours.

>>6893844
>that price
welp

>>6893844
Thanks man

>>6893863
I've linked twice to ebay where you can find it. My cousin refurbishes those for a living which is what got me into it. I also have some as ceiling lighting.

>>6893868
Yeah, I saw once as I posted. Just hadn't refreshed in a bit :)

>>6893871
No worries.

>>6892626
Single bed?

>>6892219
>literal piles of books on the floor
>ridiculous and expensive lamp
You might like to rethink your life.

>>6893901
you think that lamp is expensive, wait till someone asks him about the chair.....

>>6892219
>literal piles of books on the floor
>ridiculous and expensive lamp

>>6893911
>being this self-conscious

>>6893906
The chair looks aesthetically pleasing and comfy enough, it would be money well-spent.

>>6893915
>being such a prick

If I could do it without ruining the book, I'd read primarily in the shower.

>>6893933
just wrap the book in plastic.

>>6893939
BOB, pls.

It is basically my living room, I can keep the door closed on the books, general shit when people are over

>>6893947
HOW'S ANNIE?

>>6892219
what did shelves do on you

>>6893959
Ask Hitchens.

>>6893952
why would you need to hide your books, montag

>>6893959
>>6893961

>>6893961
I don't get it

>>6893962
Before some /lit/ guy walks in and goes 'lol >actually buying books. kek', also it makes the room tidier

>>6893967
JUST

CELESTIAL

>>6893962
I don't want my friends and family to think I'm bourgeois scum

>>6893976

>>6893982
How is that supposed to work? Buy a fucking bookshelf.
>I realize he's dead.

>>6892219
>not using shelves like a normal person

>>6893982
What a bourgeoise pinko.

>>6893843

It looks like somewhere a cheap camgirl would work.

Do you read literary fiction in the nude to an audience?

>>6894266
Probably target.
You don't need to use that sort of punctuation.
There's no reason to use an exclamation point.

>>6892219
>Not having a bookshelf

Why are you so fucking stupid?

>>6894286
not target man it's an expensive chair

My computer.

No anon, you are the bourgeoisie

You're trying to hard. 1/10.

I go to university in Flagstaff so I'm not too far from the canyon, feels good

>>6892219
Mass transit. I can't read for shit in a chair or a bed, but I blitz through books on a bus

>>6892219
>not a single one of these has been read.

dream setup

Any good setups for personal libraries of 5000+ or 10000+ books? Most of these pics are very small collections.

>>6895890

>>6894291
Holy shit, this is my dream. So comfy and fun looking.

i wasn't going for sex workercore but i guess that's not the worst thing it could be
>>6895784
i'm so jealous, i get down there as much as possible but that isn't near as frequently as i'd like

>>6895890
probably a library anon

On the toilet usually. Honestly. Or laying on my stomach in bed.

>>6892626
Larger bed, inside frame, some kind of lounge chair, less tchotchke, but that is my ideal.

>>6895890
Something like this is what I plan for mine when it gets to that point.

>>6893797
>that movie

my nigga

>>6892219

Dis nigga got two copies of Brothers K

>>6896619
That's how good it is

>>6893967
Those are shelves, just stacked ones. You can see gaps between books.

>>6895854
Why the mirror?

>>6896664
To appreciate my own patrician-hood.

Your dream set-up is Stephen Fry's living room?

>paying over $5000 for a chair
>mrw

>>6893665
Are you for real? Because I quite like it, looks like the perfect spot to hide from the noise and chaos of the world without having to be too far away from it

>desiring an expensive chair

what the fuck is wrong with you people, you crazy sickfucks

>>6892219
where can I find a chair like this?

at my desk or on the porch
>tfw rural living

>>6896940
Pretty cozy looking, you should get a bedside lamp.
Also, maybe it's just the perspective, but that beds looks really short, do your legs hang off the end?

>>6896701
Did you genuinely attempt to give meme criticism that matches the pictures or did you just quote a bunch of them and wrote whatever you felt like, regardless of whether it matched pic or not?

pls respond, it's for science

>>6896944
It's just the perspective. Out of frame to the left of the bed is a bookshelf, a floor lamp, and a closet.

>>6892219
>Where does /lit/ read?
In the bus and on the bus stop, and in my bed.
I dont have a dedicated reading space in my small apartment.

>>6896940
not a very good shitposting operation tbh
not enough arm length to type furiously

>>6892219
Under my house.

>>6897155

>>6897159
>Upright piano

Not patrish enough. Invest in grand piano kthxx

here, or a comfy chair in my kitchen, or in bed

>>6896940
Love the cat. It looks like it's silently judging you forever.

And here's where I actually am right now. Plans:

>get a couch that isn't the passenger seat of a vehicle
>three half-height full-width Billys behind such couch
>two more regular Billys to fill out the rest of the wall

And maybe use the wall behind the chair if I get to that point before moving (one full + one half-width). That allows me about 840 more books, 1200 if I used behind-the-chair space.

>>6897925
Billys aren't deep enough for me. I have a lot of big or awkwardly sized books. Wish there was an 18" version or something similar.

>>6897951
>inb4 2deep4me memes

>>6897951
I haven't had a book hit the back yet, even my anthologies. But I've read a lot of art histories from library loaning that I know wouldn't have a chance at fitting.

Sucks, anon. Ikea has the Hemnes too, which is even made of real wood, but it seems like it only has 3'' more depth.

>>6897951
>>6897974
Though, looking, I just saw this Regissor line that has 15'' depth and look really cute with those feet on them. Might be a consideration?

>>6892219
you literally haved two copys of the same book you very wasteful

>>6896802
>>mrw
off yourself

>>6897974
>art histories
you hit the nail on the head, anon. pic related. a few of mine. those along with various other things have been a challenge.

i've been using ivar shelves which are plenty big and also allow for placing other non-book things which is nice, i just don't like the look and feel of ivar, especially the stupid wire holding everything in place. it's not very 'solid'.

>>6897999
looks nice. i'll look into it. thanks.

Why do you lads all like dusty books? I keep mine behind glass doors.

>>6898155
cupboards/closets with glass doors are for old people

chicks can't go without a mirror.
it's fun it's like a game to them. they can feel themselves melting and aging everyday and repeat it everyday.
as a guy i dont think it's healthy to do that
