The problem with paperback is that most of the time if the publisher isn't some science focused one, like any University Press, the book's binding will literally fall apart after some time.

Personally, I was always a paperback connoisseur, but the moment your favorite book pages start to literally fall out of the book, you will understand, why you always go hardcover or just use an ebook.

Also there is unironically shit called "mass market paperback", which was created with the idea in mind that you only read the book once and then it's such a mess, that you can't really read it again.

For example I had a paperback (and I read like hundreds of book with paper back from University Press publishers for over a decade and never had any problem), which was literally losing its pages while I wasn't even finished.
And to make matters worse, I'm what people call "very tidy" with reading books. When I read a book it normally looks like new after I have finished it, but even I fail with mass market trash "binding".

Are you in a very sunny place? I’ve never had paperbacks fall apart until I brought a couple to Crete and read in the sun. Within a couple of days they were toast with the block falling out. Direct sunlight and 40C heat was enough to undo them apparently.

I like fantasy, I really do, but I don't enjoy Elric. It's so dry, I don't know, his personality, his adventures, the side characters, the prose, the stories themselves can't touch me. I think I've read quite a lot, I have collection of silver small books edited in the 70s or 80s. I think I'm missing the last one, but to be honest I think I'll never read it.

OotSP is Man v. Nature
Perelandra is Man v. (Man v. Nature)
THS is Man v. Man
The whole series is obviously theist, but the allegorical “what would you do if you were an observer in Genesis?” in 2 was actually quite a powerful mirror to understand our own behaviors imo — Ransom isn’t the exclusive foil in that one, the Queen is meant to foster self-reflection just as much, and to question who’s guiding your development and why.
THS is literally the work Orwell copied for 1984. He wrote a book review on THS two years before he started writing it. I don’t understand how anyone can read that book after witnessing the extragovernmental powers granted to “science” over the Covid Years and miss the point. I took a lot more from Studdock’s personal journey as a reflection on my own follies in chasing after “importance” and the dangers that seduce us along the path, but even if the reader can’t relate to him personally, the N.I.C.E. is practically a blueprint for everything we’ve witnessed over the past 70 years. Hell, The Saracen’s Head was the most prescient prediction of the current state of the internet that’s ever been written. Pic extraordinarily related.

Perelandra was unsubtle, but it was also my favorite one. The scene where he realizes God needs him to beat Weston's ass and they have a half hour fight then he chases him across the weird floating micro continents while they're both fucked up and bloody was a lot of fun.
Really the whole series dropped all pretense of subtlety at the end of Out of the Silent Planet, and Hideous Strength was way preachier than Perelandra.

This is also true, he went nearly full-muslim mode on Studdock’s wife and her drenched panties over “obedience” as instructed by the Fisher-King
But yeah, spoilertext was an absolute thrill ride I wasn’t expecting in the least. 1 is the best mood, 2 has the best imagery, 3 is arguably the most relatable for normies whose capacity for introspection is still intact (expiration date: 1993)

No, I'm dead serious. I got it for cheap because I didn't like the look of any of the other Tacitus versions. I have Easton editions of Homer's two, but that's it. I want to know if those three are enough for them to not stick out when together next to a bookend.

The board was also obsessed with Joyce and Pynchon who are both just as unreadable, and in addition to that the rest of posts were about "the /lit/ Top 100" & philosophy, and this entire board consisted of circlejerks without anybody reading anything that actually interested them, and it was just terrible.

Just got the books so I can't tell you much. I did also get the book because people on here do talk about it a lot and it does seem like something I would be interested in. Someone who has read it can respond better, but I don't think it would be a good book to dive into philosophy with.

>University presses are some of the worst offenders of lousy low quality product, especially in comparison with the price. I regularly use a dictionary published by Brill that falls apart annually, I'd buy the hardback but it's $300 and most likely just the paperback glued to some boards.
Architectural books routinely come from University presses, and are usually excellently bound.( At least as far as Yale, Princeton, MIT, etc. go)
I also have the Helle translation of Gilgamesh, and that is hardbound with a sewn binding.
The Harvard press Dumbarton Oaks titles are hardbound with sewn bindings as well.

>Are you in a very sunny place? I’ve never had paperbacks fall apart until I brought a couple to Crete and read in the sun. Within a couple of days they were toast with the block falling out. Direct sunlight and 40C heat was enough to undo them apparently.
Glued bindings almost inevitably fall apart over time.
How long it takes can vary, and not all books from the same publisher will fall apart at the same rate, even if the books have similar paper and binding.
I’ve seen Penguin paperbacks that are fine after a few decades, although with the paper yellowed, because Penguin uses crappy acidic paper.
I’ve also seen similar Penguin paperbacks whose glued binding failed after a shorter amount of time.
As far as I can tell, the glue's much more likely to fail if the paper used was thicker and stiffer, which is the reason glued telephone books from decades ago are sometimes fine, as are glued books using onionskin/bible paper, whereas cheap books printed on slightly thicker paper tend to fail.
Better paperback books have sewn bindings, just with paper covers.

>They used to cost $10, my god. I’ve heard that books are expensive in US but didn’t know how much. If the regular paperbacks are cost $10, how much would be a decent hardcover?
The average paperback is now $15-$30 in the US new.
If you purchase the smaller paperbacks with barely any margins to the page, those are around $10.
Sometimes there are cheaper versions of public domain books.
The average new hardcover book varies, but is usually $20-$30 for your typical major publisher releases.
Everyman Library books tend to have list prices from maybe $22-$45.
The above are list prices.
Amazon/etc. prices might be discounted from 25%-50% off, although this varies, with newer titles sometimes set at list price till a certain amount of time has passed( I think Minimum Advertised Prices must be set for the newer releases from the publishers)
Library of America titles are similar in price to Everyman’s, but usually available at better discounts off list.

$5-$6 paperbacks from publishers ended maybe 20 years ago at this point.

Hard to jump in as philosophy, but at the same time can be one of those books which makes you so interested/confused that you'll want to go do the work to understand more of it. Maybe have a read of a chapter online or something from Anti-Oedipus or Thousand Plateaus.

>In case I need to be reminded that Communism bad, and because its mere presence on my shelf is kryptonite for commies.
Well if you're doing research on communism, you just missed May Day which is a chance to bring in a haul if you want to go right to the primary sources. I'm looking forward to starting this memoir of the commander of the Cuban forces in Angola which might help me dodge any attacks from the somewhat culty Trotskyists who felt betrayed after I wished them a good afternoon and then fraternized with the Stalinists who were keeping a respectful distance.

I cluster a group of books I’ve recently read/am currently reading/will read to see if it generates discussion. A lot of book threads get swamped under all the shit here so stack threads get more lines in the water for more hits. Also I usually have a theme or something that I’m reading around and sometimes someone has other recommendations or input. Idk why you care. If you don’t like it scroll past. I actually believe a decent amount of anons actually read in the stack threads.

That Hideous Strength is 1984 before there was 1984, except with a quite explicitly Satanic conspiracy rather than an implicitly anti-humanist faux-Stalinist dictatorship. Personally I found it the least enjoyable of the trilogy, but it is strangely the most applicable; it has aged all too well
