you look like an interesting fella, but do not underestimate the weight of books. I mean the physical weight of them. Those shelves look extremely week and one night might collapse on your head while you are sleeping and kill you. This is not in any way a humorous comment. Please buy some sturdy shelves and use those above your bed for a few light paperbacks.

It is the same one. I stacked all the other books on the ground and bed before taking the second photo.

What'd you think of the conspiracy against the human race? Debating on buying it sooner or later

A descent into the lowliest metaphysical (or rather un-metaphysical) pit a human can fall into. It is a very unpleasant read and I couldn't escape pitying Ligotti. While there are some parts where he touches on the subject of how in the end there is no way anyone can be sure this or that view of life is correct or not, it seems he is really convinced in a dogmatic way about total nihilism.

The book is deathtrap for any schizophrenic or people with existential OCD.
