Stacks/Recent Purchases

The last of the books I ordered over a month ago arrived today.

Bit of a hodge-podge. I've finished Winesburg and the Kawabata, thought they were both great.

Ok

Send that blood oranges my way son.

I gotta read it first

...

I've been eyeing Blood Oranges and The Counterfeiters in my local haunts for months now. Convince me to pull the trigger on both.

all i ask is that everybody makes interesting threads about all the interesting books they read

they got words and stuff and gay sex probably

Learning about Judaism and Christianity, then going onto Hinduism.

Bumping... usually these threads are bumpin'....

Current reads. Sorry for scrappy camera quality.

Is this what happens when you're done with the classics? If so I never want to finish

What's up with that Old Man and the Sea? Is is some kind of special edition?

Yeah I guess you could call it that, since it's so nice... I bought it for five bucks at Chapters in the clearance section. What a freaking steal.

It's what happens when you read outside Veeky Forums's top 100. 5 of the 7 authors in the OP are on Bloom's Western Canon list, and Kawabata would be too if he was western.

Die if you posted paperbacks.

You need to free yourself from this materialist booktuber mentality.

Sorry I've got no pics but picked up yesterday:
Speedboat-Adler
The Men Who Stare at Goats-Jon Ronson
Acts of Worship-Yukio Mishima
Vile Bodies-Evelyn Waugh

I forgive you.

Hey

Already read Hamlet and Hesse, what should I read next?

rate and make assumptions about me

Nice, how do you like those books?
How's that celt book?

Just left the bookstore. How'd I do?

I liked Solaris a lot, it is very different from Tarkovsky's movie though. The book approaches things from a completely different perspective.
