current stack thread is old and nearly dead with a sad excuse for a stack as the op so I am making my own. Behold my new stack. Not everything but almost. 20+ books cost me ~$150 from AbeBooks. Can't recommended them enough

I don't stacking I like displaying because covers are on their own a piece of art so:

(some in English, some in Spanish)
* Gargantua and Pantagruel with images by Doré, seems like the first part only and I don't know if completly or how is the translation, is beatiful and big but I'm not sure if I like books that are not complete
* The Swindler (El buscón), currently reading and loving it
* Examplary novels in Spanish by Cervantes
* La Celestina, in Spanish by Rojas
* Las buenas conciencias (The Good Conscience) in Spanish by Fuentes
* The discomfort of evening by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld
* The Republic and the Catilinarian Orations in Spanish by Cicero
* Artificial paradises and other texts on drugs and alcohol by Baudelaire in Spanish
* Catch-22 in English

It is. I take it that's bad? Fill me in. I mostly just purchased this copy for my library. When I see a pre-WWII Modern Library edition in good condition for under $10 I pick it up no questions asked. Not opposed to buying a better translation when I plan to read it.

>>17909094
The Woods translation is infinitely better.I’ve tried reading both of them and couldn’t even get through Porter so I reread Woods.A lot of critics believe Mann never became as popular in English speaking countries as he should have because of the subpar translation.Porter is just lifeless and stilted

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 30 21:44:23 2021 No.17909191 >>17909135 I'll keep that in mind. I thoroughly enjoyed Porter's Magic Mountain but I haven't ever tried another translation of Mann.

I'm too lazy to take a stack pic (also my phone can"t even take pics) but I got ten volumes of the Rougon-Macquart series for 30 euros yesterday. That's not even the price of a sandwhich apiece.
Had I been better versed into the specifics of Paris's secondhand bookshops I could have easily gotten three more for the same price. Feels nice.
