Good books, but since they all look brand new, you're probably some OCD freak, and since I'm guessing you don't like buying used books, you're missing out on the fun of visiting used book stores, and since you'd rather buy brand new you're probably bad with money and an overall imprudent person. 3/10 wouldn't want to date.

It's not really a series, it's a shared universe with a bunch of stand-alone novels and novel series within it.
I would suggest the Ciaphas Cain series or the Gaunt's Ghosts series. Both are good books series, they follow human characters who try to survive all the craziness of the universe. Either one serves as a good introduction to 40k, imo.
If you're interested in Space Marines, the genetically enhanced warrior monks who are kinda the poster boys of 40k, I would suggest Armageddon by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. It's an excellent book and a great view into the mind of an immortal religious superhuman
Just don't read anything by Nick Kyme, that dude is the worst.

Don't start off with the Horus Heresy, it's more fun if you're already familiar with 40k so you can read the Heresy stuff as almost historical fiction.

Oh shit son I wanted to build shelves just like those once, but I was living in a rented place. Built shitty pine bookshelf instead. Good look.


Pic related is my favorites / to-do bookshelf. Top shelf are favs. Books on bottom shelf with butt facing camera are all Aztec and Maya studies, non-fic. Hidden behind on all shelves: more Roman shit (Statius, Virgil, Lucan), more myth/depth psychology shit. I am currently reading the middle-shelf histories and Berreby's Us & Them. I am a sci-fantasy writer.

Thinking of moving all the gameshit to someplace less embarrassing. The other wall of bedroom is bookshelves but battlestation is a mess so no pic. I've read a lot of the modern classics, great american novels, sci-fi, etc. but have avoided /lit/'s Big Three meme books.

I think I like Penguins more than most on /lit/, but you should seriously branch out from them if you're going to hit the Greeks/Romans that hard. Some of the Penguin Roman texts are great, others are not.

-Their Plutarch is incomplete
-Their Polybius is incomplete
-Their Marcellinus is incomplete
-Their Dio Cassius is incomplete
-Their Josephus is complete for that one work, but you can get a real cheap complete Josephus instead

To be fair some stuff like Marcellinus you probably won't want to read in full, but Plutarch and Polybius are definitely worth it.

Anyway, solid collection, although frankly they don't look read. Make sure to read all of Livy (books 1-10 are good but 21-30 are amazing, 31-45 pretty good), and consider checking out Machiavelli's "Discourses on Livy" if you liked early Roman history and Machiavelli's "Prince."

>>8805438
Have you read that copy of "Towers of Trebizond"?

Nice collection btw.

>>8805757
Who is your favorite roman historian?

>>8805757
Thanks for the (You). You're right, they're not read: I'm burning through Livy at the moment (where the playing card is), going through the collection left to right. I'm sure Penguin has its bad sets, and all of it is probably available online for free. I was actually aware of their incomplete Plutarch "books" before purchase, but I'm fine with that. These aren't read for scholarly purposes - just pleasure and inspiration. Barely scratched the surface, already got action heroes like Scaevola, Horatius Cocles, Gaius Marcius Coriolanus. These are also only part of what I've got: Statius, Lucan, Virgil, Petronius, etc. are hiding.

Cassius Dio was mentioned by Campbell, and frequently as a source in JE Lendon's Empire of Honour (GOOD, if repetitive), so figga'd I'd go to the source. Thanks for the recommendations! Prince is on the second shelf with the politics/economics/aesthetics, partially read, and will look into Discourses on Livy.

>>8805768
Not yet, unfortunately. It's one of the missus books, and she's a big fan. I should probably read it in the near future

>>8806188
Have you read any of Oblivion so far? What do you think?

>>8805802
Livy by far, then Sallust. Tacitus is supposed to be the best Roman "historian" but his pithy wit is largely constrained by depressing, constricting subject matter.

Livy:
>"For you there is no middle way between victory and death — put all hope of it from you, and either conquer, or, should fortune hesitate to favour you, meet death in battle rather than in flight. Think on these things; carry them printed on your minds and hearts. Then — I repeat — success is already yours. God has given to man no sharper spur to victory than contempt of death.”

>>8806073
Very impressive plan! Honestly I always had more fun with ancient Rome than with Greece, and you've got basically all of the heavy hitting authors already lined up. If you end up liking one of the few whose complete works aren't offered by Penguin, you can always consider getting the Loeb editions, or at least downloading ebooks of them. Even if you don't want to buy Loebs (they're pricey), definitely check their stock as a reference for what's actually offered by any author. You knew about Plutarch ahead of time, but Penguin and Oxford can sneak a few authors by you as subtle "selections," so keep an eye out:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loeb_Classical_Library

Also if you're not averse to backlogging an extra book or two, consider checking out Appian (especially his "civil wars," but be aware that he has more books):

>Scipio maintained that while deliberation was proper when you were laying your plans, yet in an emergency, when so many men and their standards were in danger, nothing but reckless daring was of any use…He would either rescue them or gladly perish with them.

And maybe Sallust (very short, maybe 150 pages total, technically history but colored with more philosophy than most historians):

>“Is anything left for true men except to put an end to injustice, or to die valiantly, inasmuch as Nature has appointed one and the same end for all, even for those encased in iron, and no one awaits the final inevitability daring nothing, unless he is of a womanish temperament?”

Worth a look, but don't feel obligated! Anyway, best of luck, and I hope you post about what you're reading from time to time; you're going to get through some great material.

>>8806113
IMO totally worth it, especially if you've ever felt any inability to connect with religion in spite of desire to do so; it's a great modern perspective on faith. The first 50 pages are awful, but then the book takes off; it ended up being one of the funniest and saddest books I've ever read. Hope you give it a shot!

>Nearly all the time, God was a bad second, enough to hurt but not to cure, to hide from but not to seek, and I knew that when I died I should hear him saying, "Go away, I never knew you," and that would be the end of it all, the end of everything, and after that I never should know him, though then to know him would be what I should want more than anything, and not to know him would be hell...

>>8806218

>>8806238
Story of the Eye by Bataille.
>>8806199
Yes, I read it after I finished The Pale King, pretty good stories, except one that was also too long so it made the experience of reading that book a little tedious. Characters that seem "perfect" but they're actually fugged up, slow stories where the action never occurs... you know, DFW being DFW.

>>8806257
I'm about halfway through middlemarch. Enjoying it immensely.

Have you read gilgamesh? How did you like it?

>>8806278
Not him but I didn't love Gilgamesh. It's interesting largely because it's so old and original, and although it's totally worth reading because of the subsequently immense tradition of epic poetry, much of whose structure you can see in Gilgamesh, it lacks the poetry and characterization of later, more prominent epics.

Again, still worth a read, but I always think of it as a "proto-epic" rather than an epic proper.

My apologies for the poor quality pic. I really need another shelf, I have more books stashed away in boxes.

Also, those boxes to the right of the shelf - I made a thread in /his/ about it, but a relative gifted me a bunch of Civil War (battle) books that I'd happily give away anyone who'd like them and can pick them up in Colorado Springs.
>>>his/2049155

>>8806307
Dude what is with the obsession of civil war books? Nothing against you obviously, I just never understand what's up with (seemingly typically older white guys) obsessing over the civil war. It's either that or like 14 different Patton biographies.

>>8806330
I've wondered the same thing. My guess is that books on the fighting of the Civil War (and WWII) are perpetually popular because:
1. studying warfare and battles is a masculine way to express an interest in history
2. those two wars are popularly mythologized as glorious events in American history

>>8806400
Civil war books seem kind of lame though. I would think one is enough.

If it were WWII or WWI I could understand, because both have endless stories/angles/people/battles etc - but Civil War?

Iced earth is pretty good, especially seeing as that whole package was like less than 10 dollars and I get all of their early albums.

i haven't rly listened to heavy music since high school desu but i will listen to some aggressive punk-informed stuff

Man, I really want a high quality camera.

>>8807196
Just a smartphone will take nice pictures.

>>8807194
What does "punk informed" mean? I believe the most direct answer to punk is grindcore, possibly thrash metal, and crust punk bands (like amebix and discharge).

>>8807200
pretty much just if a band is knowledgeable if not emulative of things like, the ramones and iggy pop and bad religion

>>8807207
Fuck lyrics, they are not important to me. Just as long as it's not some "god bless america" homey country garbage.

>>8807219
i got u m8 i'm the opposite with music. lyrics first and foremost, usually. more into the musical expression of ideas than like, sound art

Because people still think it was about slavery. One needs to read several perspectives.

Yeah. It's written by a bunch of people over decades, so there's some stinkers in there, but it's usually good, and when it's really good it's fuckin' great.

Bretty gud Greek/Roman selection. How much of Plato/Aristotle and the corresponding Cambridge companions have you read?

Also you're the only other person I've seen with that copy of Xenophon's Cyropaedia. Cool.

How's George Eliot? Picked up her Adam Bede today, don't know what to expect

>>8811640
I really liked Middlemarch, comfy-ass summer read a couple years ago. Not sure about her other stuff

>>8811685
That's cool, I'll take it

>>8811696
I'd think if you like Dickens or other 19th century social realism then you'd like her

>>8811703
Dickens is overwrought, Eliot is much more accessible in this sense. Ofc overwrought is to some people's tastes so...
