I own Slow Learner but it's a smaller Windstone edition I grabbed on eBay. It's just too small to be seen correctly in the first picture unless if I have it not pushed to the back.
Last shelf is likely going to be OP shop stuff.

Yeah I know these editions are a bit ugly but they are all from a local book store for cheap new. I might just buy the two or so I miss online.

What version of that? I haven't read them yet but I know how the plot is. Likely will only read up to Silmarillion.

Started reading actual books this year. Last 3 years I almost exclusively listed to audiobooks because I downloaded them for free but started to find it difficult to find decent readings if I could find them at all. People dismiss audiobooks but they’re great for long drives and absorbing information you wouldn’t otherwise.

My books are mostly history, mythology and religion. Don’t really care for novels. I love poetry though so next year I will expand my collection also with more Eastern religion/philosophy, Roman and British history.

I’ve still got 3 books coming around Christmas time: Ancient Egyptian book of the dead, hermetica and encyclopaedia of psychoactive plants (bought with free money from bitcoin turning $10 into $160).

I got that same edition of mythology by Edith Hamilton. I ordered 2 different editions and was planning on keeping the best looking one and giving the other to my nephew for Christmas. But I will give him the best one (same as yours) because it will make a better gift. Other edition is smaller and only has small, black and white illustrations.

I looked through it already though saved this pic before I give it away.

Don't have it with me right now, but the site I bought it from says "This new translation is based on the recently restored unexpurgated edition."

I'm about halfway done with it and haven't noticed anything weird about the translation. But then again english isn't my native tongue and this is my first time reading the book, so I wouldn't be able to compare it with any other versions...

Not inherently, but there is plenty wrong with some of them. I once saw bookcase that was almost entirely B&N leatherbounds, and one of them was Da Vinci Code & Lost Symbol in one volume.

I like Dan Brown, he's not great, but it's perfect for reading on the toilet. Keeps my attention, and easy to stop suddenly.
But that was a waste of a perfectly good cow.

Other than the fact that the binding is terrible, the translations and notes are almost identical to the B&N Classics paperback series that are a third of the price, and the cover designs are corny and only appeal to the kind of person who wants to display books that make themselves seems "fancy" and "well read"

Studied abroad this semester and these are the books I either brought with me or acquired over here.

>dutch

That book is a monument to my tendency to give up on plans. Thought I'd take advantage of my time to learn it but quickly gave up since everyone speaks English.

Please do that. I dislike it how all the shelves are always just texts in english. I double hate it when its foreign books translated into english. This one time there was a russian posting his shelf, and he had classic russian literature in english. No reason for a russian to own russian texts in english, except to use as decoration.

the author has 4 other books that unironically uses the the term "deep politics" in the title
the book also proclaims to "offer a whole new perspective" on JFK's death and "uncover all the facts" (but the author is still alive)

>another dumbass is gonna fall for the Folio Society meme
80% of their translations are public domain trash
the binding is glued and the page material is Penguin tier
but you don't care about any of that and you just want them to look nice on your shelf

Top shelf - far right 2 are Barnes and Noble leather-bounds I got as a gift, the Paradise Lost you can get on amazon and in bookshops its the arcturus one, the next 4 are everymans library, Dorian Gray is Penguin Classics clothbound, the Augustus book is a 100 year old copy so idk check ebay, playboy and animal farm are old paperbacks.
Bottom shelf - Mythology is the new hardcover, maus is standard, Tintin is the hardcover collection, soundings is original 80s copy, art of war is penguin classics I think, and yeats is Macmillan edition.

For collectors editions of books I'd say check Easton Press and Franklin's for leather-bound versions. As >>10418231 pointed out Folio Society can be dodgy but some of their books are beautiful (the out of print Finnegans Wake for example) so do some research if you're gonna get them. Otherwise search around. There are lots of places selling nice editions of classics, most are in your local bookshop or on amazon.

I didn't grow up in a technologically centered society, so I have very little dependence on the internet when I need definitions. I also participated in a lot of spelling bees when I was growing up here in the US, so I have an affinity for physical dictionaries, since I literally read them from cover to cover in order to study.

When looking for a word, I sometimes come across new ones. That's pretty much the main reason why I bother with physical dictionaries. You don't care about that anyway.
