Read them chronologically and avoid The Silmarillion unless you have nerdy friends to meme it with or like discussing books on sad online forums.

Something doesn't add up lad.
You have Hatcher's AT (an exquisite introduction), but then you also have a baby intro book to ideas of AG (O'Shea). If you are ready for Hatcher you really don't need Ideals, Varieties, and Algorithms

AT has nothing to do with AG at the beginner level (I know this is far from true just a baby step away from beginner level), but it just so happens that I know AT and topological K-theory and absolutely nothing about AG other than basic algebraic curves stuff, and very little commutative algebra too, so I just browsed around the library and picked out books that looked interesting (Atiyah/Macdonald, Roman, Cox I already had my eye on before) that might help before I dive into Hartshorne.

Why do you say that, anon?

[Anonymous No.11826121]

>>11825951
I am very much aware. It was in reference to maturity. Atiya is very good for commutative, but if you do know quite a bit, you can just pick up a book like Smith's intro to AG - hell, you could probably do better.
I used Ideals, Varieties, and Algorithms long ago in undergrad, and it is definitely not necessary. You can learn all that is required from it through a google search

alright, i'll believe you... It's just that I was going through Fulton's algebraic curves and I just keep getting stuck at what local rings all mean in terms of geometry... wanna kms since i'm starting my PhD in AG in a week.....

It's worth having your own fresh copy.

[Anonymous No.11828979]

>>11827347
It's manga.

Until very recently I hadn't given Junji Ito's work much though. I think I'd read one of his short stories, maybe two online (probably posted on 4chan, actually - his grosser art is something people used to like to shitpost with in creepypasta threads - back when that was still a thing). But not too long ago I heard someone praising The Enigma of Amigara Fault for the unique kind of horror that it was. I found and read this story and developed a fast affinity for Ito's style. I read through one of his compilations (I believe titled Shiver) after that, and I just finished Uzumaki last night. I can't really say I've been disappointed by any of his work, and some of it has been really good. The Japanese aspects of esoteric horror are both bizarre and titillating to my western sensibilities.

If you want, you can read The Enigma of Amigara Fault here. https://imgur.com/gallery/ZNSaq

>>11829221
I mean, you can read them for free online. I even included a link to do so in the comment you replied to :P

Then it's just shitty art on a shitty monitor.

Truth be told though, Ito's art is quite strange. I can't say I've seen much of anything else like it, which is part of why it intrigues me so. I'm a fan of horror in the general sense, and this is definitely a different sort of take on that genre, both from the different cultural perspective and just from the strangeness of the art itself.
