Us readers, huh?

Why did they change the name of the first Harry Potter book for the US market?

...

Editors inventing problems to justify having a job

americans don't know what philosophy is.

Now I have to read all the books it talks about.

They figured philosopher's stone was too difficult for US kids.

>not reading Maupassant in original French

Snagged these for a pal interested in postmodernism/lit

All 1 buck

Whoops

She was a chubby girl, I approached her gently. We sort of like cooking, went back to her flat.
Ok made love, wrote haikus

I haven't read a single post-modernist book but Sokal's critique is up next on my to-read list. I'm worried thats gonna make me get started on the wrong foot, what do you think

Sadly it only goes to single XL. It would have been an epic addition to my collection.

There's some debate on if post-modern is even a thing and whether we're beyond what "post-modern" is, ao really I just say read the books. Whatever catches your eye

Not sure which to read next, but it'll probably be either Don Quixote or Suite française.
>tfw still haven't read Don Quixote

I started it but being unfamiliar with chivalric stories, a lot of the humor/intent went over my head

>letters to vera
it's pretty bad tbqfwy

You should fix that and check out some Chrétien de Troyes, user.

...

Why do you guys buy so many books at once? Who are you trying to impress?

You suck at books

Actually the problem was that americans don't know what alchemy was.

I'm going to have a language arts classroom in two years, so i'm building up a library

Not him but i'm more inclined to read them if I see them on my bookshelf every time I go "What to read next?"

>leaving the house more than once a month

Are you a 14 year old girl?

>Lolita English translation

you fucked up

This is going to sound absurd, but when your comment gave me a strange feeling. The action of looking at a shelf packed with books and choosing which to read gave me a nostalgic feeling. Not one of reading, but eating. As if you were to eat a book, in a bite. A bite-sized cubed book. And the books were crunchy, but had an inner caramel consistency.

I'm pretty sure I'm autistic. Fuuuck

Just ask for an XXL. Im sure it will fit you fine

Tao Te Ching
Still.
I don't buy a fucking book every day.
I read them,and then I pick up 1-2 new ones.
This way you don't get flooded.

>lolita is translated meme

Writing haikus with a sweaty big girl seems dull

That's not autistic babe, it's cute

>>not reading Nabokov in Russian

The Sokal/Bricmont book is excellent. It will get you started on the *right* foot, so you'll know what to avoid.

Picked up these this week.

Underworld was a borefest.

>keeping books where kids can put their grimy hands on them

Fuck no. I used to steal my teachers books all the time.

>reading for plot

No Moby dick? gay pleb.

Excuse the shitty camera.
The 2 books on top of Moby-Dick are "I am a strage loop" and "De parte de la princesa muerta"

nice pick ups desu

>falling for the DeLillo meme

good to know I wasn't the only one

Hey, anyone know a site like Thriftbooks but for us Eurofags? Thriftbooks still works and all but it's double the price for every book.

Waiting for this to come in the mail. Also just bought a Russian grammar book.

Candide by Voltaire.
This is how you write ("Így írtok ti") by Frigyes Karinthy.
It criticizes/parodies the hungarian literature of the 1900s.

Both were really cheap and new.
Guess I was just looking for a good laugh.

What do you think of the covers?

Dude, that's in an episode of Jimmy Neutron.

Rate

Why don't you just pick up some Malcolm Gladwell while you're at it?

THE WHITE MANS BURDEN: WHY NIGGERS ARE TOO RETARDED TO DO ANYTHING ON THEIR OWN AND SHOULD HAVE JUST STUCK TO HUNTING ANTELOPES

>now a major motion picture
Why would you do this?

Also been reading Dune on my boyfriend's kindle. Good stuff.

Tao Te Ching is nice.
Worth multiple re-reads.

Where do you intend to start with Lovecraft?(if you are starting to read him just now)

Nice catch 9/10 overall.

nice scarf faggot.
Why did you have to be such a faggot hipster?
Nobody pictures themselves with a book in the thread.
Everyone uses a blanket

Radical

I'm actually pooping right now and I could've just given you shit for free.

Nice. Is Anne Franks diary desu actually good?
I always saw kids reading in middle school.

Why can't the bloody harry potter books be the same size?
For Heaven's sake,they are a series.

Does anyone have the edition that includes the bit on Bergson? All the libraries I've access to only have the editions w/o and this goes for the torrents I've tried as well.

and I'm talking about Fashionable Nonsense, by the way

Don't h8 pls

That's a really good Hesse, far superior to any of his hippie proto-beatnigger shit like Steppenwolf or Siddharta

Why is it that in every meme thread some faggot has to fuck it up and post seriously?

What do you mean "post serously"?
I posted seriously.
Only a few fucks memed.

>Someone bought it
>Read it
>Jerked off while holding it
>Then he sold them
>Then the shop sold them
>You bought it
I don't know which is the saddest.

Sure, here it is.
It was sheer luck, I found it on a used bookstore in México for like 6 usd (The owner is american so most of the titles are in english)

So far I've read The Beast in The Cave, The Alchemist, and The Tomb, all have been fantastic.

With Lovecraft, I'm just reading what strikes my fancy. I can take my time since I have so much of it. I'll tackle the Dunwich Horror and Call of Ctulthu soon

Haven't started it. I'm excited to read it though.

I like spice and wolf because boobies.

That is fucking gorgeous. Where do I get one?

2$ each. Don't know if I'll ever read them.

It really is, I couldn't leave the store without it.
There's a few copies on Amazon and maybe you could find it on ebay.

1 to 5 is a quick read.

>buying books just for show
I mean, they were absolutely cheap but at least make the effort to read them

Shouldn't you have done that first?

Just read them Sven, they're great.

cunt

Out of all the authors analyzed I've read Woolf, Homer, Molière, Stendhal, Flaubert, Zola, Shakespeare and The Bible; I'm okay with reading their parts now and reading the rest after I've read all of the remaining works Plus, I've got the book for a steal.

Hey, lovely.

What in the fuck

Nabakov wrote in english, dumbass

no lo he leido, pero está linda la edición. La edición se parece un poco a las ediciones de Einaudi
