I want to build up my physical library, I feel like paying for a book and owning it compels me to actually finish reading it so I don't feel like I've wasted money (which is why I'm switching over from digital books, because I spent all my time collecting and organizing and none of my time reading).

What are some essential books every well-read anon should have in their library? Alternatively, what's your favorite physical book that you own?

Ones that you have read, or are very soon to read. Memes people post here are a great place to start.
I like how this faggot website tries to steal my browser focus to the "not a robot" capcha button when it times out.
