How much are you about skepticism? Moreover, how sure of your skepticism are you. Because I once thought I was a skeptic, then I started to experiment with psychedelics and then my level of skepticism went up to a degree I thought never possible (I thought I was already at the highest point).

I left them at my parents place. I'll probably go through all the books and pick and choose which ones I want. Sell the ones I don't want so that I can eventually move all my stuff into my own place.

I have almost all those books. And many of the same editions as you, including the Bantam Gravity's Rainbow, which I hated reading because it's so small and thick. It was odd looking at this pic because it seems so familiar to me.

Have you read The Satanic Verses? I've been thinking about picking that up.

I think I have a copy of The Satanic Verses at my parents' house. I haven't read it yet but plan to.

Yeah, my biggest worry with reading Gravity's Rainbow is the small size vs the denseness of the novel. May feel like I never get anywhere while reading it.

I asked because you have it right there on the top shelf.

It was very intimidating and tiresome to read that little Gravity's Rainbow. It made the book seem even more dense. If I ever read it again I'll be getting a different edition, probably the Penguin with the blue spine.

La palabra "ahccguard" es un anglicismo que se engendra de la palabra "awkward" que significa "incómodo" este es el espíritu del colectivo que busca generar y promover cultura REAL para gente REAL.

¿Qué contiene?

El colectivo ahccguard tiene contemplado presentarse en varias publicaciones, en este caso preciso los "ahccguard" son una especie de libreta maravilla que contiene pinturas, dibujos y literatura (puede variar).

I'll just post my shelf with stuff I have in English. It's not that much but it's not that easy to get nice English books in second hand bookstores around here. So the stuff I have in there is pretty basic. Popular stuff like Pratchett, Palahniuk, McCarthy, and Douglas Adams, and a lot of the classics. But also some of the modern writers.
Recommendations are always welcome - but usually I grab what I can when I see books I need for my collection.

I only got Atlas Shrugged because Murricans seem to have some kind of obsession about it. There are also quite a lot of books that reference it or make fun of it. I still haven't read it though. Maybe I never will.
Palahniuk and Murakami are fun reads. But keep in mind my main interests and collection, too, is German literature from 1880 to 1930. Everything in my shelves else is just for the heck of it and not that important.

hit up thrift stores and used book stores.

some used book stores have good deals so basically you end up paying 1/4 the price of a retail copy.

This is my collection I started just over a month ago, and the average price i've paid was $4 per book.

If i don't like a book, I don't keep it and if i like a book i'll try to find a good quality copy.
I had a shity copy of Catch 22 which I paid a dollar for, and then found the version in pic for $2 at a thrift store. Same for LA Confidential, which I upgraded to the hardover edition from the "movie" edition for $5.

Probably spent like $30 total.

i'm waiting to find a better copy of Purple Sage because I thought it was cool. Not great, but interesting considering the history.

I don't really like the style of the books (don't know what they are either honestly), but it's neat so yes. That shelf is aesthetically pleasing.

Also, I don't care about the books being sorted in any sort of order (alphabetica, by author, chronological). I just want them to look neat. My bookshelf when I had one was not in any order. Instead the books were stacked next to each other by size.

Anthologies are only 10% or so. I have literally 50 different books on German Expressionist poetry. And then there are about 100 books full of poems, prose and essays written by German Expressionists. It's just way too much to memorize. I was able to do it when my collection was half the size but I have lost track a while a go. I really need my list.

I myself don't know what most of these books are. The goal of the publishers wasn't only to publish neat looking books, but also to publish unusual and easily overlooked authors. It'll be interesting to read them once I have the time to do so. It'll be an adventure.

Most of the time, yes. But then there's that one time where you think "Hey, I haven't seen that book before" until you're home and put it into your shelf. I usually give the duplicate books to friends. I kept the paperback one because it has a new preface.

I don't think they make them any more. I got them about 10 years ago when I was in 6th grade.

I've actually been looking for a nice hardcover edition of LotR for a while now since, as you may be able to see from the spines, my paperbacks are a little beat up from repeated readings.

Does anybody have a recommendation for the best hardcover edition?

I've only read "Sputnik Sweetheart" and "South of the border, west of the sun", and I'm already seeing a pattern of lost love, unexplained events and loneliness. Are all of his books the same? I was thinking about reading "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle", what could you recommend?

I'd be happy to post, but there is always some douchebag that comments on how not all my spines are creased. obviously, and as a disclaimer, i have not red my entire collection--posting would be merely in the spirit of the thread...

on a side note, if someone is willing to, you are welcome to come scan my entire collection and make it available, for free, to the /lit commnity. i've often wanted to convert all my hard literature into a format that is accessible to others--if i can't read all my books, perhaps you all can...

in any case, if anyone is interested, let me know--i would do it myself, but i simply have not had the opportunity/time

thanks. i acquired them through all sorts of means: i'm both a phd student and comparatively wealthy, so that combination means that i have access to a lot of good reading lists and a substantial book budget. i of course haven't read them all (nor will i ever, i imagine), but i also see it as building a library for wife/kids/posterity, etc. i think it would be interesting to enter the world with, if you so choose, every major great work of western literature at your fingertips. to this end, the root of my bibliophilia is three fold: 1. a genuine exploration of my own interests, 2. no doubt some perverse form of guady insecurity, and 3. a hope that those that come after me will, through access to said culture, actually become better people than i could ever be.

>>4479196
I don't know about average, but a minimum wage worker in the USA makes about $900-1000 after taxes.

A book is about $10, so 1/100th of minimum wage monthly earnings.

The median household income in the USA seems to be $4,250 per month though, so that would be about 1/400th.

Once you have a library of several hundred books, and certainly once you're into the thousands of volumes, you're not going to be able to name them all off the top of your head, even though you could talk knowledgeably about each book.

Past that, the poster specifically mentioned *anthologies* and collections of essays. It's actually pretty common to have a short story or an essay in multiple volumes once you have that many anthologies, but the contents of each volume don't overlap 100% with other volumes.

IF you ever manage to amass a substantial library in your life, you will understand this.
