Does anyone have any experience with the NYRB Classics book club subscription? Was wondering if it was worth it.

Also did anyone grab anything in their anniversary sale?

Will do, anon.

Yeah I bought four books to max out the sale scaling... but where's the Princeton sale?

Life and Fate
Little Reunions
The written confessions of a Justified Sinner
Stoner

I almost bought that, but ended up sticking to things which are unlikely to show up at my local used book stores.

I pulled the trigger on pic related despite asking for feedback in the NYRB sale thread and getting none. So apparently I’m going to be a pioneer.
Also got
A Month in the Country
The Book of Ebenezer Le Page
Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist

That is the best way to go, I know almost nothing about the books I ordered other than J R, have read two sentences from On Being Blue and no other Gass. I just picked what seemed interesting, I like being surprised.

[Anonymous No.18599391]

I almost bought a few books but then I was like... why? I already own at least 40 unread books that I should read first.

[Anonymous No.18600965]

Read Kaputt and The Skin

Obviously for the dopamine rush you can get when they arrive and set them on your shelf for the next few years collecting dust.

I wanted to grab a bunch of nature related books, but didn't pull because I already splurge on eight other books in the last two months.

My list to get for next sale.
>Heaven's Breath: A Natural History of the Wind
>Motley Stones
>Tarka the Otter
>The Journal of Henry David Thoreau
>The Peregrine
>Malicroix
>The land Breakers

I wouldn't get the NYRB Classics book club subscription. Not every new release is worth picking up.

[Anonymous No.18601269]

I can't wait for them to release Bambi next year.
