Did someone say stacks?????

sage all stack threads. don't support mindless consumerism

The Shelley was a gift for someone else

The Herbert was a gift from someone else

>Russian books in the background.
>Translated Dostoevsky.

who in their right minds complains about translated dostoevsky

he's no flaubert

Why would you read a translation if you speak Russian?

The only stacks I have are the fat stacks of dosh I saved from not having to buy books anymore.

Good man

P&V translation of C&P

Never heard of Adler or Abramovic. They any good?

>mindless consumerism
You're expanding your mind with books you prat why are you on Lit if you're against that

>look at my unreadable books am I unikue
just fucking kill yourself.

Adler's alright, just modernist NY style. Abramovic is an artist, that's an autobiography

Have you read Speedboat? If so, thoughts?

I haven't, I just picked up Pitch Dark from Waterstones Gower St because there was a nyrb display and I thought the cover looked neat

it's on my list though, I imagine the style is very similar to Pitch Dark

>buying books and arranging them in pretty stacks to look cool
>the same as actually reading them
You're a fucking dunce

using the word 'prat'

You have a problem with my man Robert Balddick?

I have a problem with you taking shots at me in a place of refuge, you fucking loser, leave me alone.

They don't become unreadable after you've stacked them.

you're certainly not stacking (You)'s

Just ordered Purple Hibiscus and The Hero with a Thousand Faces.

this is a stack thread, not your blog

let it begin

Stack and recent purchases thread. This is a board for people who read.

>he fell for the meme

All bought in the same second-hand store. I really love coming home during the holidays.

I did, and it's not the first Veeky Forums meme I've fallen for.

Infinite jest sits and collects dust on my shelf

make way

most of your guys stacks look like brand new books. Where do you go to get them? I only ever go to second hand.

see there's leaders, and there's followers

but i'd rather be a dick than a swallower

amazon.com desu

marauding

>implying its a good thing to be a leader on Veeky Forums

Have fun when the gubment comes knocking
bookdepository if you don't live in USA and still want free shipment

I went to a book fair today and bought all of these for 16 dollary doos

Im canadian so this is a godsend. Cheers.

Impressive

I love white cap books

Kys kys yourself son

>Dostoyevsky
Jesus, I really feel like 2016 is his year on Veeky Forums. If I had to guess I'd say it's due to Putin bossing everything right now.

Also, I hate to break it to you but you may have bought a prose translation of the Canterbury Tales.

>implying they won't be read and that's their sole purpose
Make sure your fedora doesn't fall off when you lean over to pick up your ereader

I might have a package coming in today with 7 books in it.

For now take this less recent stack

>being French
>playing Warcraft
>2012+5

That's a publicity my man.

I needed to use a website to take a pic.

>buy a fucking box
>their design don't line up

Oddly aggravating

Yeah it fucking triggers my autism too

No idea how they could make such a mistake, and more importantly, why it hasn't been fixed

most of my books I got on second-hand book stores but some memes I had to buy in a website here in my country that imports books from the US.

Right now I feel like I have satisfied my 'physical' collection though, so I get most of my books in the public library or if I don't find it there/do not want to read a translation, I buy them if I find them cheap in second-hand bookstores, if even then I can't find it, I read it on my computer, which is not really my thing

Please. Don't bully me.

Pretty good, but why did you get the ugliest Pynchon cover available?

why does everyone hate those covers? i don't have any so i haven't seen them up close but they have a very comic book bruegel look to them which i think perfectly fits pynchon's style

it has authorial corrections the us version doesn't have

Please don't bully too hard.
Especially don't bully about the Lovecraft book as it was a gift.

What's the myths book like?

10/10. Jealous of the Egypt books. They sound really good.

What's wrong with Lovecraft exactly?

>The "I think shooting police is sometimes justified" starter pack

Lovecraft is great for a so-called "genre" writer, one of the most accomplished horror writers of all time. i like him better than Poe. Interesting stuff otherwise user, if you appreciate and understand The Trial when you read it I'm jealous of you that you'll be reading it for the first time.

He's a racist anti-semite and considered genre fiction. Basically the same thing that's wrong with GRRM, except also racist.

I've only thumbed through it quickly, haven't gotten much in to it yet. It seems more or less like what you'd expect from the tin. It has what seems to be a fairly nice set of notes for each text. They come after the text, rather than being eg. footnotes on the same page that they reference, which I know some people dislike, but I actually prefer notes being presented that way.

I don't really have a problem with Lovecraft or anything. I'm just honestly not very familiar with his work, and just wanted to specify it wasn't actually a book I picked out for myself or anything.

Hey guys! Been reading this stuff recently, doubt you've heard of any of it. Get cultured, plebians.

Lovecraft is one of the rare authors that can elicit any feeling of dread in the reader; he's one of the best horror writers.

Way above GRRM imo.

>He's a racist anti-semite

So was Céline, but that doesn't make Journey to the End of the Night automatically bad.

is that you, 1000 books girl?

in order for something to be bait there has to be a set up. the pretense you offer is: "my taste is better than yours and you dont recognize these books". not this pretense would work if the punchline were hard hitting but it just isnt. if you had pulled out some stupid books that are respected in some circles you could have gotten somewhere and yet now it is just kind of stupid. though i guess you got me to respond so you trolled to a certain extent.
