A true patrician donates all his books to libraries after he is finished with them. I guarantee you won't read any of those books more than three times, and it's not like some repository of worthwhile books that other people come to borrow.

I threw that number out because anyone who actually reads isn't going to read the same two hundred books more than three times each, there are few books worth reading more than once anyway. And if you spend all that time reading the same books instead of reading different ones, you're retarded.

as far as I know there is like half a sentence missing between two pages but /lit/ considers this mistake (in a 700 page book with passage so obscure that even the author doesn't remember why he wrote them) to irredeemably ruin it.

I didn't read that version (I read the one with the blue cover with schematic designs). but I wouldn't be surprised if most print runs of Gravity's Rainbow had errors at least that large, it's a near-impossible book to copy-edit since an error where a sentence stops in the middle, etc. wouldn't look much different than how the book actually looks.

Small update to the room, I moved out of this place two weeks ago though no money.

Also I had a desk to the right of the pov in these pictures.
The cardboard box is supported by a single crate underneath it for support, I have continued to use it for a year, it's quasi-convenient because you can right on it but it, obviously, doesn't hold up well to moisture.

If you've read Dawkin's newer works prior or to reading the his older one's, you're not missing much. Dawkins seems to have a talent for saying the same thing in all his books whilst attaching a new method of doing so. if you really like Dawkins in general then go for it, he's very at what he does.
