This is my main shelf and probably the only one I'd keep if Marie Kondo kicked down my door. Shelf is 20"/50cm wide. They are about a subject that I love, and just small enough to pack up and move on a handcart with the rest of my possessions. I've got a couple of much larger shelves, but I wouldn't care if most of those books disappeared. They are:

nostalgic TimeLife series on aircraft I read as a kid
cookbooks
western canon and literature I picked up living on the east coast and Hawaii
four-wheeling magazines and car repair manuals
D&D books
Army stuff
Will Durant's histories
archaeology books about Mexico/Aztecs/Mayans
a sprinkling of random library discards bought for a dollar

That's Rapture. A cancerous in every sense of the word polsci grad student/postgrad slave that mindlessly hoards books, most of which he doesn't read. Likes to chest beat about being an renaissance man and intellectual titan while posting shelves of absolutely pointless and incoherent collections of undergrad math textbooks with stray embarrassingly pop-sci lit next to random works on technical aspects of modern warfare next to oriental poetry and Russian political history and treatises on penis shapes and mating calls of slow loris (none read of course). Lately has reorganized his pseud dumpster to be more topical, so everyone doesn't point and laugh the moment he posts. You can find him by his trip c1y4ssWAA9x and by strings of vapid posts full of namedropping always accompanied by pictures of art with camel case filenames.

Well, the globus bar is empty. Was supposed to be a present for a friend who likes to drink, but he didn't like it either and gave it back to me. Feels bad.

These bindings upset pseuds not only because they're new and lack any visible signs of wear, but because by virtue of being well-crafted hardcovers they're unlikely to accumulate them anytime soon. These are very disturbing qualities in books to your average il/lit/erati who yearns to demonstrate nicely creased and cracked "definitely perused and totally not pseud" paperback spines more than he wants to actually read the very pages they hold together. In their eyes investing in a sturdy luxurious leather or nicely decorated buckram bindings to please the owner's eye and provide the books with more longevity is antithetical to the one and only reason of owning physical books at all, that is to serve as an achievement display that would quickly and unambiguously communicate to two drunken girls and three college dudebros who visit their studio once a year just how authentically e/lit/e and genuinely well-read the owner is, whilst definitely not trying to pretend to want to hope to look like it. Plus of course the price factor also breaks some typical local self-imposed illusions of being a chosen member of some semi-secret class of penniless bohemian intellectuals engaged in cultural guerilla warfare on the back line of a grand army of philistine en-pee-see bougies, that so many younger members of /pol/ for smart people seem to be under. These are quite hilarious idiosyncrasies and I can wholeheartedly recommend skimming through some older shelf threads to find people both accusing someone of buying particular bindings to show off and chastising the others for not having their spines project the required aura of "well-readness" quite strong enough all in a single post.

I have sold many of my books when I needed the money; I had kindle so I always could read what I wanted. I plan to repopulate my library, but mostly with books that I've already read IF they have an edition I like - I rarely like hardcovers, my ideal stuff are Vintage editions and those French Folio paperbacks. No large books, never. I will probably get Gene Wolfe in SF Masterworks edition - the cover design is hideous but the book itself is well-done.

I personally think they're ugly. A good hardcover is subtle and modest, just like good clothing: it's all about material and make, not aggressive glamor. I do have a couple glamor type hardcovers, but usually with pertinent books; for example, I have a gilt edged kitschy Canterbury Classics edition of major American political writing with a hideous faux green pleather cover emblazoned with a sparkling American flag and I feel that the aesthetic physicality of the book matches its contents to some degree, speaking towards the kind of Costco proliferatively excessive America which Baudrillard briefly describes in his Apocalypse Now essay.

No such thing on any subject, really. You'd think that somebody who collects books would have read enough to understand epistemological ambiguity and would find personal aesthetic truth to be something worth articulating.

These are my attempts at articulating what I find beautiful. You are still attempting to appeal to objective standards of taste, whereas I am conveying how I feel in relation to the subject of discussion. Your objectivity obsession is misled.

Piss off with your timid sophistry, nigger. Declaring something to be shameful or kitschy is in itself appealing to baseline consensual norm of beauty in society, which is the objective kernel from which the individual subjective grows. Either learn what the very epithets you use mean or don't use them at all, not on a literature board of all places.

You've got it backwards, the societal norm of beauty is an aggregative of individual subjectivities discussed into a consensus reality. By making aesthetic judgments I attempt to alter the popular concept of beauty but I am aware that my personal particular judgments are not absolute. You have everything backwards.

Well it’s a book about Catholicism so yeah religion is the central subject, and it’s absolutely not gnostic, in fact it is carefully written to appear as a new age gnostic hermeticism, but these words have very specific meanings to the author related to the Christian life rather than actual gnosticism

Trip's a good book. Tao kind of rambles about McKenna for too long but I liked the later passages about social media addiction. Valis is a little wordy but one of my favorite PKD novels (if you can call it that). I like the mortars and pestles, can tell you experiment with traditional medicine. Tried Lions Mane but it didn't do shit.

I have a fascination with mushrooms myself. If you're in New Orleans, let me know. These faggots don't know the good spots.

I have only 57000 books in my original language, 3000 is rookie numbers for a pirate.

Besides, having a good library that doesn't need electricity is a good idea.

I live somewhere that doesn't experience regular brownouts. Try moving out of the favela.
If the power went out here for any extended period of time, I'd have bigger issues than finding reading material to occupy my time. But I guess being in the stone age is a regular occurrence for you that you're willing to structure your entire life around the assumption of.

>Social-democractic government in a capitalist country doesn't make a country socialist
Socialism is about ''managing'' capitalism, instead of completely abolishing it, so technically, it does make it into one if they ''manage their capitalism''. Besides, Social-democracy is by and large a result of leftist policies, which in turn more often than not have their roots in socialist thought.
