nice stack OP. recommend you check out edward abbey.

>“Men come and go, cities rise and fall, whole civilizations appear and disappear-the earth remains, slightly modified. The earth remains, and the heartbreaking beauty where there are no hearts to break....I sometimes choose to think, no doubt perversely, that man is a dream, thought an illusion, and only rock is real. Rock and sun.”

Not sure whether you are Irish or just interested in Ireland/Irish literature, but you should definitely check out Flann O'Brien - particularly if you enjoy Ulysses. Although Flann's books are more surreal in nature

If that's the case you'll have almost 100% heard the poem "a pint of plain is your only man". It's actually from Flann's book At Swim Two Birds, shame he doesn't get the recognition the rest of the lads get but sure look

This is my Greek stuff. It's about the only interesting collection of books I have because I usually only buy stuff I can't easily pirate or use on my ereader.

At Swim Two Birds is a great book, inventive. >>18406114
How is Say Nothing treating you?

Currently re-reading Benjamin and a bit of Pessoa at random every morning. Pasolini was a gift and I'm not particularly thrilled with it so far.

When I started I was actually really into Stoicism, and I still am but I wanted to read the Meditations in Greek. You can't really learn Koine without reading the bible and it became a habit. From there it's only natural to start reading more about the bible and various traditions and history so I do consider myself a Christian now, so Iof course I have that to motivate me. Ultimately, the whole project is one big sunken cost fallacy. I put so much time into learning Greek that I can't stop until I become fluent. Anything less then I've wasted all that effort.

No picture, but these are the books I bought this month:

>Pynchon - Gravity's Rainbow

>Pynchon - Inherent Vice

Great stack. Jack London is a true chad's author, Frost is a great poet, and The Search for Ancient Egypt sounds fun, I will add that to my to-read list.

>>18405312
All classics. Have fun, anon.

>>18406114
Nice. I'm reading Ulysses at the moment. I read passages from Beckett before starting Ulysses as well. Underworld is on my list because I loved White Noise so much.

Same for me, my priest at my home parish does a nice reverent Novus Ordo though and he's very encouraging about me liking TLM. And I go to the TLM about 5 minutes away sometimes. I still need a missal though but they're kinda expensive. I'm planning on getting the Angelus Press one.

I only ever post in stack threads as my shelves aren't organised well enough to have all my books showing if I took a picture. Also, the way I see it is that a stack thread is stuff you are planning to read or are recently reading and a shelf thread is for everything you own.
