Shelf thread

[Anonymous No.19693320]

I want to buy a white Ikea bookshelf and fill it with books that will make me look smart and interesting. I'll flick through them and make them look like they've been read, but I won't read any of them.
I'll do this when I move out of my parent's house and start renting an apartment. It will cost a lot, because I don't want to buy cheap books, I want them to look like they're new and I read them recently, not like I've had them for 10 years and read them dozens of times.
I will have the Greek classics, most of the /lit/ top 100 books, some things I'm personally interested in (though not enough to read them), and what ever other books I see on /lit/ that I think would suit my shelf and my personality.
Pic is the shelf I'll get.

There is a lot of introspection on the uglier parts of what can develop. It is interesting to see in print the thoughts and experiences that you would never hear a person being brave enough to speak out loud with others. People are often willing to share how they feel like a victim but rarely how they feel like they are becoming a monster too. There are a lot of uncomfortable exercises though, I would read the book before the workbook and if you share these feelings it would be good for you.

I'm friends with some old ladies that run a curated second-hand shop for a church community filled with wealthy old-money. People die, donate all their books, they save some for me. These two McCarthy's were $3.00 each last month. I bought the Faulkner for 3.00. They have the whole snopes collection for $4.00 a book, but I'm not really into Faulkner.

The Trollope collection is missing one, it's a set of six, and they were $2.00 each as well.

If the International Collector's were more than 1.00-2.00 each I wouldn't buy them, but they do have good art and good translations for the most part.

..do you work at ikea?..if you’re commenting on their cheapness, they do the job fine. I’m putting Penguins, Oxfords and the ilk in them. I got them cheap off of Amazon because I have other priorities with my money, and ultimately my books are what matter to me, not the shelves. That’s as defensive as I’ll get for my shelves.

My beautiful gf and her shelf :)

[Anonymous No.19708366]

One side of the shelves came out of plumb level, that is in reference to the vertical wall verses the horizontal wall, and I had forgotten to properly fasten them with screws. The two sides to the right were fastened only with a bit of glue and a few brads penetrating just 1/4 of inch past the cleat.

I removed all the books, two shelves, and am realigning the cleats for proper fastening with 4" #10 structural screws designed for excessive shear. Pre-drilling an 80% hole with a 13/64 bit will provide an incredible amount of holding power, ability to bend with weight, and corrosion resistance.

All academics are phonys. Just a bunch of phonys and flits.

A true carpenter, as opposed to one of the woodworking professions (Cooper, Joiner, cabinetmaker, furniture maker, etc), typically engages in rough-framing. A carpenter would hit it with a maul until it was square, plumb, and level within the tolerances of framing. In this case within a quarter inch of plumb would suffice. I took the shelf apart and exercised my joinery magic upon the wood.

You can learn more about these old corporate bodies and their training from my colleague Leora Auslander and her first (and only good book really) Taste and Power. https://www.worldcat.org/title/taste-and-power-furnishing-modern-france/oclc/1008202243

Not only is it real walnut, I left many of the mill marks on it to give it a more rustic look. If you look at the horizontal face frames, they all came from a single 16ft board that I ripped and sawed in half, so the patterns match across the face.

This was sawn by my neighbor, who owns a sawmill, and let me take home a great deal of pieces for helping him out when he was short staffed last year. They sell a single pack of 10ft 5/4 Walnut in this grade for $5,000-$25,000. I made the whole shelf out of five boards.

Now I have an entire office room and several nooks in the house where I build more shelves.

Unbelievably based. Regarding Auslander's book (it looks very interesting), do you think there's any overlap with something like Paul Fussel's book on class in America? I recall he had a few sections talking about aesthetic tastes and furnishings as class markers. And/or does it reflect Veblen's theory about the conspicuous consumption of the leisure class?

So I read them both as part of a series on Consumption & Commodification & Comestibility about 10 years ago (2012/2013) and I followed a modest AHA exchange between Auslander and Leor Halevy concerning what constitutes consumption, class, etc.

She ignores a great deal of work in her introduction by stating great people have already studied lots of these things, so she wont cover that ground again, including the ideas about much of the variation in social hierarchy, and I don't even think she does engage with Fussell at all. Lots of Europeanists avoid American historians and theory and focus on the traditions within their own discipline. For example, she really focuses on the doyens of her field like Joan Scott and Sewell's work on Labor. She just throws a reference to Veblen in there just to nod to him even though it's closer to her idea.

Basically, she argues that the grandiosity of the furniture used by the nobility at Versailles helped to define their position, even if commoners throughout France rarely saw it. And it became part of French culture to have grand furniture to signify status.

I thought so. I would skip all those books if I were you. They are a waste of your time. Read philosophy and psychology. Start with the Greeks, this will form the foundation of your learning (you will need them to understand things you read later). Then you will start to understand the world and everything that is happening right now.
I also wouldn't bother visiting /pol/, it is full of uneducated losers, people who think they know everything about what is happening in the world, but really have no idea, even though the answers are right in front of their eyes.
For example, do you think anyone on /pol/ knows why Donald Trump won the US election in 2016, yet was cheated out of it in 2020? Do you think the Democrat Party didn't cheat in 2016 the same way they did in 2020? If you were to ask people on /pol/ what changed, no one would be able to give you a proper answer, even though the answer is an obvious one.
Obvious to anyone who has read meaningful books, anyway. Read those books in your stack, most of which are essentially people whinging about things they don't like, and you will learn nothing.

I am not so stupid that I would subscribe to any ideology or narrow worldview that some pol autist tries to sell me. I started reading these books because some people chilled them here or on other forums and I was genuinely curious. I also wouldn't immediately say that the left stack is full of garbage just because it's not from a Greek philosopher who lived 2000 years ago. There was some good stuff in each book that I would subscribe to, but also a lot of bullshit. Mainly, I'm just proud that I started reading at all, and in English, even though my native language is German.In the future, I will read more classical philosophy of the Greeks, but not because I want to soak up their book and worldview like a sponge and then claim I understand the world, but because I am curious and may learn some useful worldviews or theories. However, I will not limit myself to this particular type of book.
