damn that's quite an impressive stack. have you accumulated that over time? how much of it have you read? is this related to your work or career, or just personal interest?

>>8428423
Do you mean just the last one or all of them? The last one I got mostly from my dad; I try to study at least a little Bible every day, and I'm going chronologically. I'm only about a sixth of the way through though, since I'm too lazy to read more than a couple verses + commentary usually.

>>8428423
>>8428428
Also the Bible stuff is just interest/religious belief, not career related or anything. I am kinda thinking about getting a Divinities degree though

Are this really all the books you people own? Didn't your parents buy you books growing up? I thought this was a literature board.

>>8428530
Stack threads are for unshelved books. Most people have their books shelved

This is my "to-read" stack. On Silence atm

These threads fucking suck. No one rates anything.

>>8430944
Rating on this board amounts to a one to four scale; Patrician, What a fucking Pleb, Look at this Pseud, and kys.

Do you actually find those ratings informative or useful?

>>8430944
I don't really see whats the point of these thread t b h, I kinda get bookshelf, because well, its bookshelf porn and people want to show off

but what do you guys expect with the rating stuff?
>5/5 patrician taste buddy, congrats
?
Its your opinions and views on the books that matter, not what you have stacked to read and probably won't read most of it for 5 months

>>8428050
10/10

I'm not going to bother taking a photograph, but imagine the following stack:
Capital in the 21st Century
But What if We're Wrong?
Freakonomics
Guns Germs and Steel
Collapse
The World Until Yesterday
Between the World and Me
any book by Matt Taibbi
