So /lit/, have you thought about what will happen to your book collection after your death?
>>
Gee I dunno man, seems kinda unimportant since I will no longer exist.
>>
They are set to self-destruct 2 weeks from now
>>
>>25125454
>70k books
You can fit that on a memory card.
Physical books are obsolete.

>>25125477
indeed, one reason I elected to burn my books
>>
>>25125477
memory card is still a physical object

Probably giving it to my brother or figuring how to make it open access so people can use it as a reference library. I have over 3,000 books. Hopefully i am a distinguished historian and theorist by then.
>>
>>25125454
Not gonna matter. All I hope is that I can finish it before I die.
It's all digital, though. There might be encrypted backups left somewhere, maybe sometime someone will even decrypt and look through it. It would be interesting.
>>
i have around 300 books, nobody is gonna want them cause they're full of my cringe writings and highlights
>>
>>25125454
By the time I die I'll be a famous author. My books will be auctioned off and people will read theough thrm looking for hints of my life in the annotations.
>>
I will be a famous author by then so it's probably going to be preserved by someone
>>
Donation to my JC library. Uni has enough funds and books, Community College is where I grew the most in terms of thinking academically.
>>
Point of a library is to distill their influence on you into your own works, such that you and your words become a representation of your library. And then your work become one of those books in another great soul's home. Like DNA of billions of years distilled in one person.
Libraries meant to be lost, in a way. All books are a collective discovery searching for the perfect book, the perfect man.

These are rookie numbers, try 300,000 books.

>collect 70,000 books

He was 100% posting on /lit/
>>
>>25125467
you are right, but we are wired to worry about that
>>
I have mostly art books so id give them to the art academy library or university library after my family chooses whatever they want to keep or sell.
>>
>>25125454
A relative will likely donate them. I only have a few physical books because moving apartments with so many of them got old very fast.

wall of books vs wall of funco-pops, they're exactly the same thing. Be better than commodity fetishism
