You've read just enough to develop a raging superiority complex, but not enough to stop yourself from thinking dogmatically. You come from an upper middle class family, and your parents are probably liberals. Your relationship with them isn't great but it's not that bad either. You've had exactly one girlfriend, and your relationship didn't last more than four months.
You're probably smart (not as much as you think) and definitely a bit autistic (not enough to start shooting people yet). And you really need to read Aristotle and Castoriadis and realise that there is no such thing as political "science".

Also, i'm taking the piss mate

I would get penguin over alianza anyday. Alianza's covers age like shit and they are overpriced. Only good Alianza, which are even more expensive. are the 13/20 collection. The thing is Alianza has a more complete selection of philosophy and literature so I end up buying them anyway. Acantilado is good but it's also overpriced. Penguin and Debolsillo have good content but they're ugly, I don't really care about that anymore though.

Is there anyone out there who collects penguin classics? Wordsworth translations seem stilted especially Stendhal's. Oxford classics are usually abridged. I know that everymans library is owned by penguin. Maybe I'm just a midwit but penguin history books are good and the classics have nice covers. Is there any other good seller for books in the UK?

I learned it through anime and eroge, nothing to be too proud of. I’ve never actually interacted with real Japanese people, so I’m not sure I could actually handle holding a conversation in it.
I’ve tried learning several other languages, including French, German, Chinese, and Russian, but never felt motivated enough to make much progress in them.
Also, I’ve never really been a sociable person and have had a variety of other interests (like playing guitar, painting, biking, cooking, coding, reading philosophy, writing fiction, etc.), each one of which I was into for a few months but ended up either never becoming that good at or mastering a few basics and then feeling like there was nothing interesting left for me to do.

If you want to aspire to become fluent in any language, you’d probably have to read at least 50 books in one language.
On the other hand, if you want to travel and do regular tourist stuff in other countries, you probably wouldn’t need much besides Duolingo or those FSI courses.
