I honestly don't understand how people even manage to ruin their books so much.

I'm going to be outing myself here, and confess that I haven't read either the Illiad or the Odyssey. I picked up this copy as it was the only one available at the shop I went too. However that being said, without having read it I would say that it has high quality, at least in how the book itself is put togeather.

it's more makeshift, I hardly read any books until late September last year, I've read about half of these and some of them are only partially finished. I always feel like I should be doing more reading than I am.

I enjoy having books on my shelf, as I can always reach for one at any time. And for academic stuff it's always nice to have a backup if you can't use the pc or tablet for the pdfs.

But I find it pretty hard to justify buying books when I already have epubs. And since I have >400 thanks to /lit/, given that the e-reader was 100 bucks, and the price of a common used book here is 5 bucks, buying books (unless there's no good digital version) feels like a terrible decision, plus waste of money and space (since I live in a dorm).

Icelandic sagas are a great read, mate. I recommend the Volsunga Saga for mythological aspects, and Njal's Saga for the more domestic type saga of ''real'' stories taking place in Iceland itself.

i've been thinking that the only 'shelved' books I'd have, the ones that would be on display, would be those I've read and those I've consider >4/5 books at the very least. Preferably only things I consider borderline if not masterpieces. All else would be stacked up somewhere if unread or tossed.

They're Fagles' translation, very good reads. They have imitation-cut pages which makes them feel nice in the hand as well, would recommend them to anyone.

Sure. It's a wonderful biography, my main issue with it stems from the fact that l wasn't at all initiated in military history, so it was a bit overwhelming at times. I'd say Roberts' works are a must-read modern Napoleonic biographies because of his reliance on newly-released letters from the man himself.
