While nothing is exactly wrong with your collection, it seems like you need to branch out some from the classics. One needs to only assume that an educated man who has passed at least his sophomore year in university has read all of your books.

Don't count on it. Every possession my family had was pretty much sold due to healthcare bills for one side of the family and lost due to fighting on the other side.

Probably over 5,000 books, many first editions, hand-drawn books, copies of texts in original German from when my grandfather fought in the Second World War and so on were sold.

Most of the first editions and foreign books were left to me in his will but the lawyer "lost" the original copy

This is always how family stuff turns out m8. There was so much priceless stuff that my extended family sold at auction, literally anything they could get their greedy hands on. Spent 6 months in a lawsuit over one of our oldest family heirlooms, was the only thing I saved.

No tendies or GBP for you my angry little man. Other people purchase something you don't like to purchase, objects that when they own them make no difference to your life whatsoever and yet you get angry? Angry? Really? Contempt?

Other people make different decisions from you, they are not wrong anymore than they are right, merely different choices. Anger and contempt should be saved for when needed not thrown out of the pram like an errant toy. Grow up.

History major here, just thought I'd share my collection so far. About half of these books were bought from a club book sale, and the rest were either bought for classes I've taken, or salvaged from the free bin at the high school I work at. Looking forward to finishing my degree so I can actually start reading some of these at my leisure.

The one with blue spines? From the Meridiani imprint of Mondadori publishers. It's the original text with a general commentary in modern Italian and a very good overall bibliography.

If you meant the other they're the Bollingen series with translation (prose) and commentary by Charles Singleton who was for a long time the lead U.S. Dante scholar. His commentary is far more historical than literary but rarely lets you down on obscure references.

I've already posted this picture.
You know the drill: old picture, not updated, few books missing because I lend books every week (for example, my George Dubya book is missing right now)
Also, I'm a US history major. I will update this picture when I will get most of my books back (around 30 books missing). I also have another shelf which is full of history and art books, and also 17th to 19th century books but I'm not at home right now

inb4 turned sideways because iphone is shit

That's one of the best constructed shitposts I've ever seen on /lit/, and that's precisely where you fail.

You should learn more with Dolan or aut1st, you're putting too much work into it.

tip: try not to put books on display like that but then again keep somethin like that w book amongst smaller stuff, that way it'll pop up without beeing to obvious.

also, lose that bleeding edge and put a vintage where's waldo copy of vineland there, i bought it just to piss off /lit/

also, less explaining, more space for jimmy rustlin

Yeah. I live in France also. Good taste although it's a small bookshelf. Used to be a philosophy student?
