How big is your backlog?

Thanks for the recommendation user

I actually picked it up at a library book sale for a ridiculously low price and honestly I only recognized it from discussion on here, but I don't know much about it. Will give it a go.

Fiction:
The Iliad
The Odyssey
The Aeneid
The Fellowship of the Ring

Writing tips:
Wired for Story
Winning the Story Wars

499 books more or less.

There is about 19 books in my immediate backlog. Not counting the two things currently being "read".

Ugh

The Ministry of Special Cases by Nathan Englander

Der Tod in Venedig

>taipei
nice try tao lin, go to bed

game looks fun

explain yourself

quick rundown on this game, friend?

Are those your hands? How did you take this picture what the fuck

Eight, more if you count the random shit I bought and never opened like a year ago

It's a really funny golf rpg similar to Mario golf and tennis on the game boy. The golfing itself might be too basic for some. For $15 though you get a lot of game for your money. If the golfing looks okay to you I highly recommend it.

I used to love mario golf on the N64.

Any other switch titles that make the thing worth buying?

I purchased the switch so I could play couch co op with friends. Mario kart, bomberman, golf story. I would wait a while or if you have cash to blow just grab one. I'm playing Zelda (it's alright), disgaea and stardew valley on my own and enjoy taking it on the go.

>couch co op
I do miss this desu. I think I'll wait a while until there are more titles or the thing gets cheaper though, thanks for info

On my dorm room shelf I have fifty books that I plan to read by the time I graduate

The internet is my backlog.

just gravity's rainbow

...

nice
but lose the trip, faggot

I buy three books for every book I read

better?

better

lord thank you for women

Seconding this

According to Goodreads it's about 2k books, but seeing as many of them are about semi-current political events, I'd gladly lower that number to 1,5k.

I just quit vidya and im picking this up as my main hobby. What do?
im not gonna bother reading the wiki

I make sure no matter how many books I have, the backlog must be half of it. I get insecure if it gets close to 3/4th read.

Always pick a topic you're already interested in. If you like vidya, what kind of stories in vidya do your prefer?

A lot of social science stuff, mainly because I'm trying to escape the grips of LSC.

Also some fiction. Fattest book on my shelf right now is Life by Perec, which I'll probably read over the Christmas time.

about 300 books

>tfw peruseproject will never sit on your face

this
I think its an addiction at this stage.

fucking massive, like at least a year of 3 hour a day reading.
especially since it's 2017 and thus I'm unable to pull myself away from my internet entertainment addiction
If only this were the early 20th century and I'd have nothing "better" to do than sit and read.

1/2 of Kafka's Collected Stories
1/2 of Dubliners
Ulysses
Mason & Dixon
Middlemarch

Unironically read Winnie the Pooh. It's fun, well-structured, smart, and features some genuinely fantastic prose.

2666, then Ada and finish with the Melancholy of Resistance. Throw away the Zadie Smith book.

know that feel all too well familia

You must walk around with some gnarly hands, because those are obviously feet.

Yes, but then you wouldnt be able to call upon /lit to help you separate the wheat from the chaff.

My immediate reading list, that is, what I'm currently reading or will soon begin to read, in case the picture is hard to see:

>Deep Work, by Cal Newport
Required for one of my classes. It's not great, so far.
>Solanin, by Inio Asano
A manga of, apparently, some regard. My little sister got into manga last year, so I'm reading this to have something to talk to her about.
>The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, by Oliver Sacks
>Thinking, Fast and Slow, by Daniel Kahneman
>The Man Without Qualities Volume I, by Robert Musil
>How to Become a Straight-A Student, also by Cal Newport
Required for the same class as up above. I think the professor might be friends with this guy or something.
>Freakonomics, by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner
>Storm of Steel, by Ernst Jünger
>A Book of Abstract Algebra, by Charles Pinter
>Gödel’s Proof, by Ernest Nagel and James Newman
>Ordinary Differential Equations, by Morris Tenenbaum and Harry Pollard
>The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer, by Siddhartha Mukherjee

cringe

At what?

>tfw readbyzoe will never sit with her chubby pale ass on your face

why even read?

Literally all of it. The works that aren't cringe are made cringe by what you say regarding them.

I'd like to know how these things are cringe, and what make them so, if you wouldn't mind telling me. I'm honestly curious.

you talk like people try not to make eye contact with you

I'm sorry about that, though I've never noticed people trying to not look me in the eyes. What about those books is cringe-worthy, though?

This. I want her to bear my children.

>Anglos think the bible was written in English

shit trolling, please go

'a manga of some regard' and a fucking alegbra textbook, you've got to be autistic, right? And I don't mean aspergers, I'm talking full blown, low functioning autism.

I'm a mathematics major, taking math classes, in a math club, and friends with other people who are similarly engaged. Is it really that surprising that I'm reading a book on algebra? Furthermore, how is it cringe inducing? Is there something I don't know about mathematics that makes it socially unacceptable to study?

I agree with you on the manga, though. My phrasing of that was poor. I'm not a great writer. I'm not even passably decent. The awkwardness in my writing stems from my lack of writing ability, rather than any mental abnormality, though.

On that note: I'm not autistic, nor do I posses any mental disorders of any sort. I've been to a mental health professional before--I forget if it was a psychologist or a psychiatrist--and came up as rather ordinary. I've never been tested for autism because there was never any reason to believe I might be.

What else of my list do you see as cringe inducing?

I have literally over a thousand books listed in "want to read" in GoodReads.

Please help

Huge! What’s in it?

>The Hare by Caesar Airas
>The Unconsoled by Bob Dylan
>The Major Works Of LW
>A Room in Dodge City by David Rice
>By Gaslight by Steven Price

...

24 GB of scholarly material about Buddhism

babby tier to most. Should read more instead of using goodreads,

I've never read a book

why book of common prayer?

Tfw abookutopia will never ride your dick. Tfw lindsay cummings will never cheat on her husband for you.

Of the things I own and haven't read, there's ~860. Pic is a random third of them. There's a lot of NYRBs, Penguin Classics, Japanese stuff, etc.

The 1000+ books on my bookcase(s).

I intentionally avoid bookstores and sales. If I give in, I will return with 2 armloads of books.
