like seriously, one of biggest advantages of having a physical book is how nice the outside looks and how that reminds you of the great experience you had reading it.

Has anyone else noticed how frugal this place is? Most forums where people show off their collections (of anything) include at least a few people who have gone overboard and spent many thousands of dollars, maybe tens of thousands of dollars. So where are the custom-built bookcases, accent lighting, rolling ladders, ivory bookends, etc?

Hey gois, Germanfag here. Here is my book shelf.
After American Psycho the German books are (from right to left): Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, A Raw Youth and The Brothers Karamazov. Between Rum Punch and Men Are Better Than Women, there is Chronicles of The Cthulu Myth - Part I in German, but I never got into it and think of selling the book - so, this is the only book I didn't read (and American Psycho but I just bought it and plan to start in the next couple of days).
>>
>>9289596
Oh yeah, after American Psycho it actually starts with Narcissus and Goldmund, then with the works of Dostoyevsky.
>>
>>9289589
Well, if you consider that here are mainly adolescents and NEETs on this site, it is plausible that they either don't have the cash or the insight on what to read next, or literature isn't their main hobby and there's only so much money and time to spend on it.
>>
>>9289589
Soon...
>>
>>9289589
Wealthy people wouldn't be coming to 4chan. They are successful and have real friends and peers to talk to.

We are peasants.
>>
>>9283844
It's a fine start but where's the chronology? You have Nietzche without any prior modern philosophers. There's a 2,000-year gap in your collection. Void of pushkin and gogol, yet has dostoevsky?
I get it, one mustn't base the entirety of their studies chronologically, for it would take far too long, and you may only be interested in particular aspects of particular authors; that's fine.
However, if you happen to become serious about your studies, I'd suggest the approach of chronology. Im aware of the philosophical objections that come with this approach, but I find it efficient and pleasing.
