Greentext, (figure anons on the pleb shelf thread won't care, fake and gay anyway)

>decade+ ago drop out of college because poor, return books and only get store credit, sit on gold mine of store credit for a year. "Start with the greeks", buying books and reading more because free, pawn all technology/dvds for money and because they are more at risk of getting stolen than books in my shithole apartment.

>gradually turns into "Fucking lift/train" and reading heavy, no drugs no alcohol, become succesful. Go to thrift store find hardbacks of books I want so I can swap out paperbacks for more store credit and build my Alexandria. Organize books for thrift store ocassionally, and make reccomends to the employees who love me because met/visited some of them in prison and gave character witnesses.

>5 or so years ago, start seeing less "good" books, wtf? Next trip to thrift store, there he is, "blue tooth man" and his tricorder. TF? hey anon, what're you doing? Scanning, explains that he doesn't read, "hits" all the thrift stores twice a week, is obnoxious, on his blue tooth constantly, rude to other customers and employees, they tell me they can't stand him. Check, mortal enemy found.

>If hes there before me I race him for fun because I can read faster than he can scan, then I laugh at his stack of star wars/game of thrones smut (decaprio gif). If I get there and see him coming, I switch harry potter dust jackets on the el james shit (that takes up more space than actual firewood). I play head games too because I see him pick up anything I touch and put back, so I start putting stickers over the barcodes, employees laugh at him while he feverishly tries to scratch them off. Eventually he's demoralized into obscurity and I stop going as much too.

>present day, started going a little more to see what's out there, lots of great books (sam frodo gif), the fad must be over, employees say scanner fag hasn't been in in almost a year. Point out a viking aeneid and a norton l.m. montgomery, to the woman who I held the door for whos there with her grandkids, she puts them in her cart.

I would organize them the way Howard Bloom categorizes the books in his Wesrern canon: by historical era, then region of the world, then chronologically. So for example, you would have a section for “Ancient Greeks” under the “Theocratic Age,” and then list them in chronological order, so Homer->Hesiod->etc.->Plato->Aristotle, then you would have the “Hellenistic Greek,” then “Romans,” etc.

k thank you, I kind of like this, I liked the idea of putting all the ancient greek stuff together, rather than putting philosophy together which would necessarily separate the ancient greek/roman stuff. I was also thinking I could do something like... make each shelf a different era, but then put philosophy always on one side of the shelf -- so looking across a shelf you'd see stuff from same era, but looking down vertically, you'd see all the philosophy together

well "chapter-at-a-time" books are generally books you don't particularly get excited about, hence chipping away at it in little bits. Good books you don't need to force yourself to read a chapter a day or whatever, because they're enjoyable enough you finish them without conscious effort
