I like that Sophocles, I'm listening to a podcast on the Theban plays right now.

How is that edition of The Decameron? I just added that to my list a few days ago.

Road to serfdom is good.

Yup.

Fucking Vollman

...

Pretty nice, user.

I didn't know there were more books to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Thanks user

Yep, there are three others (2010, 2061 & 3001). I've heard the series decreases in quality but I enjoyed 2001 so willing to give them a go

Only seen Kubricks movie, but I did enjoy that one. Might eventually have a go at the books, after I'm done reading everything else I've already bought.

>after I'm done reading everything else I've already bought
who are you kidding user

Nothing gets past you, user.

I spent $4.50 on mine, and the Quran was free from a Muslim organisation I contacted.

Haven't heard of those books but Vollman seems interesting from the interviews I've seen.

Learn Ancient Greek! Montaigne looks good, I read some essays for my philosophy 101 course.

Never heard of The Uncanny, I'll check it out. You interested in biology?

Art student? Nice smarties.

Ubik good? I need to read PKD. I like this stack 8/10. I've been trying to read Dubliners for a few days now but always get distracted and read plays instead.

The Dying Grass is an incredible read. It's not nearly as long as it looks so don't be intimidated. I was able to finish it in 3 weeks which surprised me.

"Fancy" only because the name sounds cool so nostalgic manchildren actually feel superior to Harry Potter fans. It's hilarious, actually.

I bought Cloud Atlas last Sunday for $3, non-movie cover (never saw it either). I'm about 40% through and I am loving it!

also a beautiful edition of the saklig who fell from grave with the sea, but a friend is borrowing it

damned norwegian autocorrect

Picked these up yesterday for $10

That Montaigne looks fucking nice

>based ibsen-reader

how is he received on here?

I don't know about Veeky Forums in general, but I've liked him quite a lot ever since I was in a production of Peer Gynt

...

sorry

I'm on vacation in Guadalajara and while sight seeing I noticed there was a small used & antique books fair going on.

Got pic related for $5usd, it's in near-mint condition.

I can't even read Spanish, but I would have been severely tempted to buy that. That's a beautiful cover.

>Never heard of The Uncanny,

I have read other Freud like the dreams and psychoanalysis history stuff (dont remember the titles now) but I had the chance to read some of the Uncanny in a university class a few years ago. I wanted to read the whole thing. That class was pure kino though called "psychoanalysis in literature" we just read stories and analysed the characters for a semester.

>You interested in biology?

yes mostly evolution.

I'm currently with Hesse, what should I read next?

Hamlet next.

I like ibsen, A dolls house is my third favourite play.
