I have two libraries in my apartment and countryside house. Probably around a few thousand books in total.
>>544634397Hardcovers only or why bother.
>>544634166Oh look at all those books you bought so you can appear cultured. Go back to plebbit.

>>544636123Here’s my copy.
>>544636554what are the odds? kek cool
>>544634553Because the cover doesn't change the inside.
>>544634166>>544634553How many of these have you read front to back instead of simply collected for the sake of having? Be honest.
>>544636554I made an audiobook of chapters 1-11:>>544619572
>>544636123not you again ffs
>>544636818kys
>>544636922fuck off Cletus
>>544636732Of course you should always have books you have not yet read. The unread are exciting, too — they are pure potential, they could even change youTake these two mixed shelves, I’ve read most of them. The two books on chivalry are coming soon. The famous edition of Max Weber is in German and is just a very cool collectible. Also I need to finish the Frank Knight.
>>544637098keep jerking your cock, brainlet
>>544634296Bingo. Paberbacks are normally well read by multiple people.Most hardcovers are just shelf decorations. I work with books and it's super easy to tell when they've never been opened once.Old men will spend vast fortunes to build a huge collection of 1st edition Easton Press really nice books just to watch CNN 10 hours a day until they die and never once read one of them not even the title page.>>544634361So you read all 4 copies of the Bodle Head by Jack London?
This is a brilliant coming of age tale that I believe many of you would enjoy. 5/5. You may struggle with some of the longer words but it'll expand your horizons.
>>544635705Bro catching reruns bouncing off of stars 20 light years away must be kino
>>544637278Volume 3 is “Martin Eden” — haven’t yet read it. The rest, yes.
>>544636732Come on are you implying he hasn't read Vol 2 of the Lake Regions of Central Africa? Anon is very interested in the lakes and it's not a shelf decoration to make him look smurt. I mean surely. Are you impinging on his "the gutenberg galaxy" that's $18 new but he has a beat up torn dust jacket one that he got at a goodwill for $3? Anon is obviously a baller and a scholar.
>>544636922I’ll write one on raping you to death instead
>>544637483Burton is great. What you can’t see well is the copy of John Speke’s account of the discovery of the Nile right next to it.
>>544637773Yes that you just discovered opening the book for the first time but I digest
>>544637483Gutenberg Galaxy is hard to find affordable in a hardcover reading copy. This one is ex-lib and I’m ok with that.Understanding Media is 5th printing 1964 but it is Fine.
I mostly read books on the Trivium and Quadrivium, as well as books for learning languages. I'm focusing on German right now. Right now I'm getting into annotated short stories and novellas.https://archive.org/details/gerstackersgerme0000lawrhttps://archive.org/details/bwb_C0-ASV-915https://archive.org/details/immensee00storhttps://archive.org/details/derblindegeronim0000unse
>>544637883No, it’s hilarious, his account of the tribal royalty in Buganda. Speke and Burton are the original bros, should be required reading here in /pol/.You are envious and petty, probably homosexual.
If I posted just a few of my shelves you lot would mess your pants in jealousy.
Has anyone here actually read the Loeb Classics Library in its entirety?
>>544639504There’s a lot of weird stuff, fragments, obscure writers. I focus on a few historians, Plato, Xen, Epictetus etc. My Aristotle is primarily the Richard McKeon edition and that’s fine.
>>544640084er spellcheck maimed poor Xenophon there.
I long for the day my German and French are good enough that I can stop reading English and interacting with anglophones. Shit language.
>>544637068Now show your Harry Potter collection

>>544637068>max weberis he worth reading? i know i have been told that he is equal to the likes of Marx
>>544634673you can buy used hardcovers for a few dollars. some libraries even give them away for free.
>>544639504my local library has the entire collection actuallynot everything is interesting of course but i find it really enjoyable going there, picking some random dead old white man and reading
