>>7825560
Not that I know of, no.
This was just the way that my phone took the picture. It was also upright, originally...

>>7825583
It seems to have a pretty decent index/notes at the back, however no maps that I could find.

I'm actually excited to reread The Recognitions before jumping into JR. The others will be my side reading.

>>7826863
book makes you feel pretty shitty
i read it over a week and the 'wastoid' chapter nearly moved me to tears, not because it was really great writing but just because it reminded me how much of a fraud and a failure i was

>>7826886
God that cover of The Recognitions is garbage, I like that cover of JR a lot though. Maybe even more than the Penguin Classics edition.

>>7826887

The Steinbeck is The Pearl and The Red Pony (have read the former before but didn't own it, never read the latter). Third one down is a volume entitled Middle English Literature by George Kane.

The lot cost a total of U.S.$7.50 for those of you care.

>>7826631
Something Happened is phenomenal. Far superior to Catch-22 (which I did also enjoy). I would suggest you might want to read his Picture This before Something Happened. I would also suggest you never read Closing Time (sequel to Catch-22 published in the early/mid 90s iirc, utter garbage and most likely nothing more than an attempt to cash in on the fame of Catch-22 towards the end of his life.

I bought a book that I shall not name here last monday. I often read near my computer so that I can make notes or search for stuff related to the book, but this time I was reading in a shopping mall while I waited for some acquaintances to arrive.

I underlined some sentences that I found interesting so that I could search or write it down once I got home. Now I'm feeling guilty of having ruined the book. A friend asked me to lend the book once I'm done reading but I think I'll just make an excuse like "I lost it while commuting" or something like that.

I read Berkeley's Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous back in college and remember liking it as much as anything I read for my philosophy classes. Never delved deeper into him, though, so now I am.

I only vaguely know the most basic details about what the I Ching is, thought this looked like a good read for a quick introduction to the subject before I explore more.

>>7827557
Not OP but I'm about half way through Quixote at the moment and it's a charming read, it's as if humour hasn't changed since the early 17th century. Its long and at times goes on wild tangents, tedious at times, but it's great. Mind you, I didn't read the same translation.

Good to know! I've been curious about it.

anything I should read beforehand? (For the purpose of understanding allusions, references, etc.)

They had a pile of autographed copies, and it looked interesting.

>>7827621
Why don't you order it from the internet anon?

>>7827679
The translation (Grossman) I am reading provides useful footnotes on references and obscure proverbs. As far as I know there's one small allusion to Inferno but it's nothing important to the story.

>>7827608
It's following largely is though

>>7826935

That topmost Jap book is about these huge ass crows in Japan. They are literally everywhere in the cities and the author spent most of his life studying these curious flying dinosaurs.

Another two are Chink books. The red one is Zhuang Zi which you might already hear of, and the other one is about the art of composition in Chinese prose and how not to write Chinese in English grammar (this is a huge problem with modern Chinese, everyone writes Chinese like they're writing English and most of them, especially the elites studied oversea, never seem to realize it.)

>>7828460
yeah I'm excited to read Storm. Hard to find his works in English. I'm in the process of learning German, but not yet polished enough to read literature. I've read the new Mitchell translation of Tin Drum, but this one is the older one which I've heard is better. It's one of my favorite books regardless

>>7827679
lots of biblical allusions and also allusions to obscure Spanish plays and chivalric romances, but the footnotes in most modern additions are more than enough.

Actually I have not read it yet (or seen the movie) so I don't know of any to compare it to. It is a vampire story though so there's that.

I found the best used bookstore I've ever seen a while ago. The owners had so many books that they literally only stocked and accepted ones that they like, and they have patrician taste.

I couldn't spend much money at the time so I only bought a copy of 100 Years of Solitude that I had been meaning to get, but if I'm ever back in the area I could easily grab all of the /lit/-core and other stuff on my to-read list.

I never go to bookstores anymore. Either I get it from the uni library or if they don't have it order it online. But they almost always do have it, it's one of the largest libraries in Canada. Sometimes I get this weird oppressed feeling when I browse the catalog, all these books just waiting on the shelves, and not just any pile of irrelevant crap either like at a thrift store but every classic, contemporary literature, rare translations and out of print gems, just reams of them. It makes me kind of anxious. It would be kind of like giving a solider a gun with a magazine that held a million bullets, he would hold it and fight tears as he thought, "how am I ever going to find enough people to shoot?"

Wow, love it, it's like Infinite Jest is on top of Bloom's book, fucking it hard, pushing its face into the pillow and saying "No talent, huh? What's this then?!" and causing Bloom's book to cry and cough out little shrieks of ecstasy with each deep thrust that brings it closer and closer to a mindsplitting orgasm.

It's an abstract feel. I've read that John Milton may have been one of the last people to read every published book. There are a lot of library books that I don't feel too bad about missing, like the bound issues of a law journal from the 1980s, but I'll never live long enough to read all the books I WANT to read. Vita brevis, ars longa.

Most thrift stores around where I'm from are pretty alright when it comes to books (5 books per dollar ftw!) and name-brand clothes. One of my favorite thrift shops is actually across the street from a Maserati dealership, so I tend to go there on their sale days.

Anyone have tips for buying new texts (unused) as cheap as possible? Any particular places to go? I usually buy paperback and online. Most large bookstores are too pricy.

there are a couple book sellers on ebay that sell "remainder" books (which are new books but have that black pen across the bottom to signify "it didn't sell" or whatever) but they (probably for legal reasons) list them as "used - acceptable" even tho they are new as fuck..."auruga distributions services" or some shit is one and like there's another one in pennsylvania that's good too but i forgot their name

>>7844537
This^
"used - acceptable" is pretty much as good as new. Amazon prime can help with shipping if you have it (or can find a friend/family member with it)

I just reached about 300 out of 500 pages. Halleck just met up with with the son of now dead Tuek.

This book is trash and I am not going to finish. My god is it boring as shit. This book is just "hm, he's a man" thought man who was just before mocking the boy, for 500 fucking pages

nigger book 1 sets up a million years and 5 other books. you can't judge that series off the 1st book. it's just an intro. not much happens in the first book. judge the series at least after the second one.

The "Pnin" cover isn't bad (or "Pale Fire"), but, on the whole, I like the Penguin Modern Classics a lot more than the Vintage Nabokovs.
