Good taste, user.

>r8

you already know that is a good stack u cheeky melon.

How's this?

I'm readying The Trial now. Pretty good.

Did you get Omensetter's Luck online? have yet to see it (or any Gass) in a used bookstore

That's a modest sized Orson Welles you got there

...

>Noise of Time
Heard good things, also props on getting Crying at the same time I did

no bully pls, I regret buying some of these

Recent stack from a used bookstore + books I bought online

What the fuck

I feel like there's always six of these threads operating at any one time on this board.

How dare you even let The Fault in Our Memes touch Perfume.

...

...

what the fuck is a stack. do i just take a pic of books i'm currently reading or books i've enjoyed or something?

explain it to me and i'll share a sic stack

whatever you think will earn you the most karma. Usually its new purchases but do whatever you want

you take a picture of some books and we upvote it if it is good!

this is a spook

You really like Updike huh? I've heard that he writes really good sentences. And yea I bought it online. As I Lay Dying is great
That's a really nice stack, especially that Goethe and Shake. Never heard of Wealth and Poverty of Nations but it sounds interesting
Yea I've read about fifty pages of the trial so far. Pretty hilarious. Doing research into hard-boiled fiction?
Ballet? that sounds pretty interesting
well now you have something to talk about with a lot of young, mainstream readers
Starting a Kantian journey is always fun. I haven't read Reasons and Persons but I read an essay by Parfit once. He does those crazy thought experiments really well

...

Wow, toppest stack.

What's your assessment on Ynderlwrld?

read the Wittgenstein before Philosophy of Mind and see if you can catch all the mistakes that Wittgenstein is warning about

will do, good advice user

is this the literary lifestyle?

>Never heard of Wealth and Poverty of Nations but it sounds interesting

Yeah it's a sort of Jared Diamond style analysis. And yeah that Shake is quite comfy.

>You really like Updike huh?
Honestly I just heard he was good and the books were insanely cheap

The thickest was the cheapest.

A e s t h e t i c as fuck.

>posting the same photo that is posted in every stack thread
>naming it "IMG_***.jpg" so it would seem like you actually took it

пoчeмy?

I dated a girl who had several of these. It was an early warning sign I should've better attended to.

Guaranteed (You)s every time.

The only book in that pile that I really take issue with is the Alchemist.

Jesus christ

El Aleph is by far my favorite short story, noice

This is tragicomic on a Shakespearean level. Hows that Übermensch thing coming along?

Yes, I read great literature.

nigga, son mejores los cuentos de Poe en Penguin, y valen lo de un solo tomo y vienen 70 lmao

Debolsillo is great. Mátate.

...

Is The Crucible worth re-reading?

I read it in fifth grade (about a decade ago), so I can barely remember anything about it. All I remember is that it stood out amongst the other books that I read at the time.

Mirin that Fellini book

>Hows that Übermensch thing coming along?
With difficulty.

Enjoy Stoner, user. It's one of my favorites.

give me recs, particularly psychoanalytic stuff

library of america is god tier publisher
good stuff

Nice montaigne.

This is a /fatstack/ thread now.

...

these aren't stacks

Better?

>hardback Hero with a thousand faces

Very nice

the only redeemable parts of this are the plato, shirer, Dostoyevsky, & joyce, and it's still not a stack. I liked blood meridian and in cold blood but they're not particularly great

Didn't see the vonnegut or salinger, those books have a special place in my heart since I read them at the right time

>the exorcist
>stephen king
>that disgusting figure
>zelda
>the mde book
>house of leaves
>the bookmark at the very beginning of ulysses

Just start with Finnegan's Wake, don't worry about the rest.

>Ulysses
>Infinite Jest
>One Punch Man
>Zelda
>Rise and Fall of Third Reich

My recent purchases

English is my first language. I am fluent in German as well. I completed the Goethe Institut curriculum (A1-C2) in 8 months.

Recent 1st edition gets

Got these five for 30 bucks. Opinions?

The Magic Mountain is fucking amazing. Nice stack, user.

It's not that bad if you're new to reading, user. It does seem like you just bought a bunch of books from the reddit top 200, but I've read most of those, besides John Green, and they were mostly comfy. Good starter set imo

Why 2 though?
Why 1 though?

woah

Probably the two coolest things I've ever owned

I believe you

Very nice.

They're fake.

Definitely not, friend. Nice try though.

Who /bible/ here? All second hand, came to about $12

>softback bibles

Norwegian Wood is Murakami's admitted attempt at a bestseller, and it's pretty good.
Steppenwolf really is a fantastic read but the introduction in mine says many people interpret it wrong. Students tend to go through a period of Identifying with the main character, which wasn't Hesse's objective, apparently.

Haven't read the others but they're probably great.

Reading One Hundred Years of Solitude right now, it's real good

i prefer non-fiction xD

i bet you thought that was the same john williams who composed the music for star wars too

i think i'm gonna be sick

memeposter posted a meme once again haha how about that enriched computer world life haha here's a (you) 4u big guy hahah MY DUDE

what DVDs are those

...

not that guy but yes, Re-read The Crucible. One of the greatest plays of the past 100 years. It's still immensely relevant today.

Some recent thrift store cops

Barter Books boys, call me trash
