Stack thread

Can we get another one of these going? Rate, h8, rec, shitpost, etc. Where's my power level at?

/x/ /10, OP

This is my current stack. What I am reading momentarily

I personally had a really hard time following "We Can Build You", but thought it was a very interesting story with quirky ideas. I give Dick credit for writing it while pumped up on drugs. Maybe at the 200 year reunion we can have animitronic Lincolns.

that GD book is great don't give ashit about the rest

/k/ /10 but you probably already knew that

How's your reading on that gun going? Any good?

I'm a "read the manual first" guy, comes with the Veeky Forums territory as I'm sure you guys know.

In regards to the gun, I now know it inside out, if you're referring to the books under it, I'm really enjoying "The Woman in the Dunes", never really read Asian literature before, different but not bad. About to pick up and start "Meditations".

Bought these today. Found the Lipsky brand new in a 50¢ bin.

Reddit.

What am I in for?

...

What I had nearby

...

>the trump book
why though?

Got my hands on a copy of "The Scholars" by Jingzi Wu.

...

Most people don't know shit about boxing and assuming you do you won't gain anything from Dempsey's book other than some illustrations and historical information about outdated techniques

Which Homer translation? I have Cuckman but I heard it was crap, looking for Lattimore myself based on recs

Trying to decide which to start with.

>karamazov
the only good part is "great inquisitor" chapter

Nice stack for a 15 year old boy.

I don't see we can build you a lot on here but I really liked it

It completely astounds me that people are actually willing to buy paperbacks.

It's like throwing your money in the garbage.

Vocabulary expander.

Because hardbacks are often 3 the price if you buy them new.

>but buy used
No. I don't want to touch someones balls by proxy.

Pubic hairs give used books character.

>stack
>not pile

You've been posting the same stack for like 3 weeks now user. It's time to actually start reading them.

>not literature

>muh greeks

Clean your room

Get the sweet oversized edition with the Baskin drawings

Got mine for like $20 on ebay

>Dick

>Marcus 'Cuck' Aurelius

What was it like to be interviewed by DFW?

>What am I in for?
Lib shit, pol shit, pseudonym shit

What edition of Dune is that?

Gook job

>Kunt
>The Cuck Odyssey

Start reading you cuck.

>Dune
BN deluxe or whatever. Probably the only book from that whole collection that actually looks good.

>Flavoured rum
what a faggot

I wanna fap. Who dat.

>filename

...

The leatherbound is always Pope, as it should be
I actually got that one for the Iliad, it's Lattimore, it comes down to whether you want most accurate or most poetic. Imo because these are ancient oral poems that have been changed throughout the years before getting translated, you might as well just go with Pope's "interpretation". Ideal is to read them both ofc

>reading plays

You should kick them around for a while and then post again.

Basic college mathematics first.
You can't even be a pseud if you don't know junior high level math

I don't live there anymore.
Here's what's currently laying on my floor though.

Please, go on, its okay to hate!

Get a load of this guy

...

Little Caprice iirc

Cross post from the recent purchases thread. Pls rate.

That Junger is most definitely the PC junger.

Whyd you get Norwegian wood twice?

Thanks for the meme pick, pleb.

From top to bottom:
>Dead souls
>The great gatsby
>Book of disquiet
>Portrait of the artist as a young man
>Fathers and sons
>Babbitt

Already read portrait, finishing gatsby soon. Dunno what to read next. Probably dead souls.

Greekfag here, from top to bottom
>Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky
>Dubliners by James Joyce
>Divine Comedy by Dante
Already started with Underground, considering what to go for next

No one takes Gun, Germs, and Steel seriously desu. Ignore the other guy btw, it's not pol shit, and it's not lib shit either.

>Trying to decide which to start with.
You've been trying to decide for several weeks now.

I sincerly hope that this whole collection, the games included, was put together just to troll.

>sincerely

I should stop the 2AM shitposting

>nuclear eng meme

unless u live in a third world dump that doesn't have the bomb yet why bother? lawyers and doctors make more money and are more respected

Because there's more to nuclear engineering than muh bombs.
I've developed designs for direct energy converters for magnetic fusion based power reactors and adaptive/predictive cruise control systems with collision detection and avoidance (which also work in stop and go traffic).
Currently I work for a company that develops and manufactures LDR brachytherapy sources for treating prostate and other cancers.
If I wanted to be a doctor or lawyer, I would have done that instead.

Who are you trying to impress on an anonymous image board

You. Please love me.

why would u waste your life doing corny shit like that when u could stacking paper

the saddest part is thinking anyone is impressed by some nerdy bullshit any indian could do, kys you're self

I enjoy what I do, I have free time for hobbies outside of work, and I'm not struggling to make ends meet.
Why would I purposefully impose upon myself added stress, dept, etc. for the future potential for a greater salary, when my current salary is more than enough to support my lifestyle and I enjoy my work life on top of that?

Get a load of this dork.

It must suck being poor.

I only buy leatherbound or clothbound hardcovers, and I deacidify the pages if they aren't already acid-free, and slip the books into plastic protective jackets that protect the covers and dust jackets from wear and tear. My books remain mint even after dozens of readings over decades.

Enjoy your "books" cracking a folding and crumbling to dust after a few years. Paperbacks are for mentally deficient serfs.

nice to see a Kobo Abe in the stack. Really enjoyed Ark Sakura and Box Man. Not read this one yet.

You bought a book just to get (you)s?

...

You have had the same stack for the past year, dude.

>reading Joyce in a language other than english

>reading Joyce
>reading

Pile o' books

It's in English, I just thought I'd list it out

Continue with Dubliners, then Dante. How much did Divine Comedy cost?

One is probably a translation, the title doesn't get translated because it's a Beatles song.

...

ultrafag

You didn't have an old film SLR you could fit in there next to the meter?

...

do any of you actually read them or just buy and post pictures

I read 90% of literature from my PC, phone or Kobo and I generally only buy the ones that I've read digitally but really want to preserve/save/own.

>physical books
>2017
hit me.

digital books aren't going to be thrown on a bonfire or anything, don't worry

>not using e-reader
YIKES

I make do with what I have.

Καkη μεταφραση της Θειας kομωδιας .Κατα τα αλλα γαμησε

Do you subscribe to the belief that Pynchon ghost-wrote The Nix?

Bait

Quran?

Are you a terrorist?

No, I'm not Muslim either. I just think reading fundamental religious texts is important in developing ones self.

ew

This user is right, Joyce is woeful in every language.

24 euros. Wasn't cheap, but it's a nice hardcover

>ipod mini
