Those books are used. It's very easy to find used books for cheap. I try and pay no more than $2 per book

All from charity shops. Priced between 50p and £5.

The top book is close to 100 years old and also contains a copy of the original book of poetry released by the sisters.

You buy as many books as you want to build up a library to then choose what you want to read from what you have. Quit being such an insecure fag.

I was going to buy two of his novels a few days ago, but I was on the fence because I wasn't sure if they were part of a series or not.

Early this year I read some of his novels. The Midwich Cuckoos is great, Stoaway to Mars is a bit generic.

I just got Don Quixote so I can brush up on my reading and writing in Spanish. I'll probably start it sometime in December.

The point is having a personal library. Some random October down the line OP could browse his shelf and end up skimming Haunted Places and/or reading a Lovecraft story. At some point next summer he might want to finally read a classic and pick up Wuthering Heights. OP could hear some libtard sperging about how being against mass immigration is the same as being a racist and pick up Camp of the Saints. At any point OP could read the intros/bibliographies of any of those books and find a new subject he is interested in (e.g. Encyclopedia of Serial Killers...Edmund Kemper is interesting...I'm going to research and read about the psychology of "devouring mothers").

I've owned 4 copies of Journey to the End of the Night and 3 copies of The Atrocity Exhibition. For some reason those ones get stolen and/borrowed and never given back a lot.

Hell yeah, anon.

No, but I do love me a gently-used...used book. Especially if it's much cheaper than a new copy.

I did manage to get to the last bookstore the one time I went to LA. Cool place. The Gulag Archipelago is on my list. Hopefully you enjoy it.
