Recent Purchases Thread. How is this Stendhal book? I saw it in the clearance section so I grabbed it

...

Nice. Thriftshops are also great. Over the course of two years I've bought around $400 worth of Veeky Forums-tier books at thriftshops for less then $50

you are, my man xD

That's almost everyone on Veeky Forums.

Only plebs don't do this

It's normal for most people who actually read to do this.

have fun with miss macintosh my darling dude. idk why dalkey decided to publish it in two volumes though, theyve published longer in one volume.

That's good, it is nice to know you always have something to read.

Ben Marcus is great. Haven't seen much fo him on here.

You caught me, give me some time.
They are very low quality/non-lit in terms of English over here, you are lucky to walk away with a penguin, so I'm happy this one shop exists.
Bought him solely on being published by Dalkey, excepting a lot.

a personal mater by oe is excellent, user.

It has captivated me for years now but I've never gotten around to ordering it. I'm not a big fan of the split volumes but I found them in perfect condition for $4 each. Some day I'll get ahold of the first edition but this will work until then. It's the book on my shelves I'm most excited about reading.

I'm trying to branch out a little more and read works from a wider variety of authors (outside of my typical sphere of European/American high modernism). I'm glad to hear it was a good choice. Any others of his I should pick up?
