>>25646715Hows middle school?
>>25646715Those Paper Mill Press books are some fancy and expensive looking editions. I see all 3 of those books at the thrift store constantly for 2-3 dollars a piece. Dunno if you know this and don't care but you almost never have to pay more than 5 bucks for classics, even online.No pic but I just got these:Halldor Laxness - Independent PeopleJavier Marias - All SoulsAnne Carson - Eros the Bittersweet
went to the thrift shoppe
>>25646784>>25646814is there a specific thrift shop chain y'all shop at? or do you just have good local ones with people who donate good books? The Goodwill near me almost never has anything good, mainly soccer-mom Christian books, boomer political stuff and other bleh. I did get lucky and snag a copy of Tacitus' Annals and Livy's History of Rome once though.
>>25646814those dantes look kino
>25646758>her knees are too sharp
>>25646847Too bad about the others
>>25646842goodwill fucking sucks now. they put everything half-decent onlinei go to savers since they actually support local charities and usually have some good stuff
>>25646842mine is a local chain, but check ebay, thriftbooks, and abebooks before buying stuff. I've gotten many books on ebay for 4-5 dollars with free shipping. Probably 80% of the time I look up a book there it's under 10 bucks total
>>25646842Seconding Savers.Also if you can spot any non-corporate thrift stores near trendy areas, preferably run by old people. Otherwise all the chain thrit stores outside of Savers are stingy as fuck with putting good shit into stores.
Though it's not impossible to find good shit at Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. I got a first edition hardcover of Libra at one of those.
I've found some decent stuff at Goodwill this year, but yeah, 97 percent of their selection is chewed up bubblegum like >>25646852
>>25646814Are the Jack Reacher novels worth the bother? I watched the first season of the Amazon show and it was surprisingly decent, ever since I've been curious.
>>25646852>>25646986Same question
>>25646986>>25646988if you like tom clancy you will love those books. they are dadkino
>>25646852>>25646915>>25646942thanks anons.
Today i did my mandatory weekly visit to my favorite bookstore and the old man did dogeza as soon as I walked into the store because he still can't solve the mystery of the missing book he set aside for me. Anyhow, I found a forgotten collection of Ionesco's plays buried under several stacks, and he let me have them for a fragment of their actual price.
>>25646715Bought these 30 minutes ago. Paid 55 Euros for the stack. Only planned to buy the smaller black book, but oh well. The books about Schopenhauer and Nietzsche also contained cut out articles from newspapers and shit. Also one from Houellebecq about Schlopenhauer. My city is small and quiet. I can't believe that somewhere around me lives a fucking 50ish years old proto-chud that appears to be very well read. Titles translated from German to English:The So-Called Good - Szczesny (not translated yet)Materials on Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation - Spierling (not translated yet)Collected Works of the French MoralistsCollected Works of HorazConfessions of a Philosopher - MageeNietzsche - SafranskiSchopenhauer in Contemporary Thought: 23 Contributions on His Actuality/Relevance - Spierling (not translated yet)The Confession of a Fool - SrindbergThe Growth of a Soul - Stringberg

>>25648372¿Recomiendas el de Japón en su historia? ¿Cuánto te costó y en qué editorial? Por un momento creí que ese era el logo del FCE.>>25648408¿Páginas de espuma sigue existiendo? Tengo los cuentos completos de Poe y me encantó la presentación, pero hace poco me enteré de que ya estaba descatalogado.

OH GOD I THINK IM GONNA UGHHH GOONSUUMMMMMMM
>>25648652Todavía no lo he empezado como tal (es el siguiente), pero tiene buena pinta y parece muy informativo. Es de la editorial Satori y creo que me costó unos treinta euros. Se asemeja a un libro de texto, así que el alto precio es de esperar.
>>25649183Fuck you glowie cunt
Mini stack to read while I'm sickEhrenreich is seriously such an annoying fucking bitch, thank God she's dead
>>25649274
>>25649239Oh bueno. Espero que tengas oportunidad de hacer un hilo en el futuro.Curiosamente yo tengo este pequeño de Satori que compré en una sucursal del FCE (Fondo de cultura económica, una editorial de México). No llevo ni 50 páginas, pero otro de la colección que ya leí es el Elogio de la sombra, de Tanizaki.
>25649138>25649242>i dont read but i NEED to fit in!
>>25647670>SafranskiI read a great book by him, Das Böse oder Das Drama der Freiheit

>>25648559You stay with your boss? Are you fucking him you faggot?
>>25650746I live in an old log schoolhouse in a trailer park he owns that I work at. he's usually not around
>>25648793Redpill me on Kierkegaard
>>25650660Will put it on my list. Thanks. I plan to read more of him anyway. He seems an interesting dude with all his biographies and stuff. I was always somewhat distrustful about him, given the fact that he is a more or less popular contemporary philosopher and was one of the founders of a maoist party. But I guess I will read his Nietzsche book soon and see for myself.
>>25650746wow someone got excited a little too easily
>>25646715got this at Barnes & Noble the other day, might pick up the Federalist Papers too if I get a chance.
>>25650961Is that a reading light
>>25651091NTA but Kierkegaard is the great-godfather of existentialism after Schelling, promoting the idea of the leap of faith.
>>25651933Looks like an ice cream sandwich, would bite into it desu
from the antique shop. fifteen bucks. pretty pleased. the illegible one is The Heart of Midlothian by Sir Walter Scott
>>25652052Lol
>>25652489There's a street called Midlothian Blvd in my city.
>>25646852I just found a first edition Catcher in the Rye from Savers lol
