>>7410414
I take good care of my books. Might be easier to list which I -haven't- read:

Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra (kek)
Kepler
Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana
Pictor's Metamorphoses
Palm-of-the-hand Stories
Joseph and His Brothers
Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage
Flann O'Brien Novels
Orfeo
In the First Circle
Zeno's Conscience
We
The Handmaid's Tale
Solar Lottery
The Good Man Jesus and His Scoundrel Christ
On the Beach
Sword and Citadel
The Day of the Triffids(currently reading)

By my count that's 65 read and 17 unread; the poetry is excluded since I've only read a handful of them cover to cover but they're more for reference and reading excerpts for now and then.

I have other shelves across the country with...IDK probably a couple hundred? books that are I'd guess 85-90% read.

holy shit that's the first time I see someone who knows Gao Xingjian and appreciates superior Chinese contemporary literature.

that's my weaboo corner btw (sorry for the low quality as you can see I live in a third world shithole)

>>7411067
all i can tell is there's two copies of an ayn rand

>>7411131
Gao Xingjiang is legit.

Kazuo Ishiguro isn't a weeaboo though, the only thing Japanese about him is his name. Belongs with the Brit lit section not the Weeb lit section desu.

Here's mine. I have a lot more books but they're all in boxes downstairs. Most of the ones I'm reading are in my room.

never read a book where the author's name takes up more space on the cover/spine than the title

>>7412672
I've never read a post where the anon's bullshit takes up more space than the amount of word's in the post itself.

If you were truly punctilious, you would know that Kant was notorious bad speller and that his name was–and this is going to blow your mind because I believe he shares your name–Cunt.

>>7409170
Kafka and Sailor Moon on the same shelf...........

>>7408882
oh, I get it. You're hiding all the good books so you wont be threatening to normies and plebs. Very Clever. Now show us your real bookshelf.

nice haul for what its worth

>>7415399
not all of the books there are books I like. Terry Pratchett and "How to be well informed" were gifts from my parents two years ago and I have yet to read them. The Neil Gaiman was loaned to me by a friend who insisted I read it, and I thought it was pretty mediocre. "I know what you did last supper" is a meme book my brother bought me as a joke.

I'm sorry if I upset you though.

>>7415339
if you like ulysses (sirens in particular) you'll like him. burgess was definitely going for something similar here. i hesitate to say it was completely successful but i think it was a really fun read as soon as you catch on to what he's doing. it really helps if you know either beethoven's 3rd really well (musically) or if you know napoleonic history really well. he's very obtuse with his names and characters and as someone who was good with the music but bad with the history i had to do a bit of googling and wiking to get my plot/context straight.

if you're not a fan of experimental writing/prose then maybe skip it.

trying to get my hands on a copy of mozart and the wolf gang, which i understand does somethign similar with mozart's 40th symphony. afaik out of print so i'll have to hunt down a used copy somewhere.

>>7415416
ok thank you

>>7415459
cheers. let me know what you think if you do end up reading it, definitely not a book that gets talked about as much here.

actually surprising how little burgess is discussed here when considering the giant boner we all have for joyce/ulysses. probably because all most people know burgess for is a clockwork meme?

>>7415409
you did. your marakami collection particularly urked me
