Why do librarylets always parrot this cope? It really only makes sense in the desolate and ugly environment we find ourselves in today; a look at printmaking, bookbinding, bookcraft, etc. in the past shows that readers and publishers a like use to care a lot about books (which seems to no longer be the case).

Rich kike gets cucked after his wife, a Rothschild, goes crazy for some 3rd rate rapper's BBC. (If you don't know who the Rothschilds are by now I'm not going to explain them, just look them up)
>Jay Electronica had an affair with Kate Emma Rothschild, the wife of Benjamin Goldsmith, resulting in the breakdown of Goldsmith's marriage.
Ironically, he's also a member of the notoriously anti-semetic and Black nationalist, Nation of Islam and has apparently recently sparked some seethe over these lyrics

I can't say I've ever discussed art book publishers with anyone before but I've always subvocalized it as tash-En (I now know that's incorrect)

[Anonymous No.18838066]

>>18837966

Use other words to explain exactly what you mean, otherwise it's unclear. I say Ta (rhymes with law) "Shun" (shortening the vowel a bit, not rhyming with "men", almost as if there isnt' a verb to be read, and also not rhyming with the English word "Shun") The hang-up seems to be on a specific phoneme, the En or the Un, which are both entailed in the graphemes of German umlauts, which are absent here.

Dad has actually been shopping a book around with a collaborator for over a year, it hasn't gone anywhere and is basically dead at this point, but they did have serious exchanges with both Phaidon and Taschen, who gave them "glowing rejections". The New York agents are kicking it around Europe to see if anyone else bites, but it's not happening. So it'll sit in a drawer, like the one novel dad wrote, but he's published other smaller, non-fiction stuff in the past. I was interested in the euro art book connection as a I have a collection of books by those big two publishers.

whats interesting here is the degredation of even the most noble of households in the increasingly technized world. there was another rothschild that passed recently who, I believe is rumored to have had drug issues (but honestly i disregard any notion that we are to believe what the mainstream publishes, for example the death of a royal blood). It goes to show that it is less of a noble stature that governs future outlook and more the small cohesive organizational bodies such as the Council on Foreign Relations. I mean by goodness sir, that is a redshield walking in the streets in what appears to be pajamas while smoking a cigarette--How disgraceful.

Muito bom, ando para comprar esse Plato à tempos. E os 4 volumes da Idade Média também (pena ter que vender um rim para comprar todos).

>Flores do Mal
Do pouco que li dele tenho vindo a gostar bastante, para não falar que ele foi uma grande influência em muitos dos meus escritores favoritos. Quero comprar uma versão bilingue para treinar o meu francês. Há uma tradução ótima da Assírio e Alvim mas infelizmente já está esgotada em todo o lado.

>Portugal Contemporâneo
A história de Portugal no século XIX é fundamental para entender onde estamos agora. Não só foi o século onde a estrutura do estado moderno surgiu e onde a nossa divergência face à Europa começa a acentuar, mas curiosamente é também um ótimo espelho para onde estamos agora (país social e economicamente decadente com elevados níveis de emigração e governado por um pequeno circulo político corrupto que usa o estado para subjugar a sociedade civil).

>Moby Dick
Quero comprar em em Inglês também. Gosto bastante do Conrad e pelo que dizem o Melville segue muito pela mesma linha.

>Os Sertões

Not familiar with the non-mainstream political compass designators, but I'd say anarcho-primitive, as the idealized unit in the text is a gang, not anything resembling a state. The argument is pro-traditional masculinity and male only spaces. Influenced my career choices in the navy where I ultimately joined what at the time was a male only space(Subs).

Nothing noble about jewish financiers. That Goldsmith fellow's Mother was a daughter of the Marquess of Londonderry; there's the shame, that an old family like that now goes about marrying themselves to jews.
(Regarding modern degradation of the elites, raising up the lower classes has made everyone lower class. That is, where the behaviours of the upper classes once proved the model for all others to follow, it is now the reverse. And so, the elite revels in their illegitimate children, irreverence, open selfishness, etc. Balzac's peasants -the worst of which are described, along with an awful bourgeois, in The Peasantry- are today's millionaires.

Sure, I saved it.

Bataille - the essays recommended are in Visions of Excess:
First have a knowledge of Marx and Freud
Read some essays by Bataille in this order:
The Sacred Conspieracy
Notion Of Expenditure
Solar Anus
The Language of flowers
The old mole
The Jesuve
The Pineal Eye
deviations of nature
Solar Anus again now that it makes sense
His text on Sade
The Psychology of fascism
They can be found in Visions of Excess or at marxists.org and anarchist library.

When that is done read the rest of the essays in visions of excess
After this Bataille's work splits up in two complimentary parts: The Spiritual and the economical/sociological.
To start with the top down economical the accursed share is great, it's just more of notion of expenditure.
For the spiritual you can read Inner Experience and work through Summa Atheologica.

1. No. There are a few books I own that I've never read simply because I didn't find them interesting enough, yet I still wanted to have them in my possession so that I could say I owned them.

3. No.
4. I buy books to have a full bookshelf so people will think I'm smart. But none of my books have made me any smarter, or more 'enlightened', so they've all been a giant waste of money.

1. no, theres usually around 10% of the books i own that i didn't read, because i bought them on sale or because they're rare and i haven't gotten around to that specific topic yet.
2. lots of different things, from reevaluation of politics, democracy and my career choice to the simple realization that some people are tremendous faggots
3. some yes, some no. but i wouldn't know if hadn't read them
4. it started with a desire to know more, but by now it became somewhat of an addiction because almost every book i read leads to even more questions and interesting topics. also, there's been approximately 5 people i'm not related to in my apartment that could've seen my bookshelves in the past 10 years (and most of them are old friends i've known for years), so who would i present them to anyways?

to be fair it's pretty easy to read a paperback without cracking it's spine. i read kant's critique of pure reason without creasing it, although there was some staining from skin oils on the bottom side of the page, and a little bit of color on the spine rubbed off. marx's capital volume 1 wasn't so lucky, that book was just itching to split down the middle from the moment I picked it up.

>paperbacks
I shig. Especially when spine destroyers will tell you you haven't read them. Not to mention they hold no value compared to hardcovers. I mean if you're going to buy physical...

Is Guns, Bullets, and Gunfights any good? It's been in my backlog for a while.
