the bigger the stack the bigger your e-dick

DAVID FOSTER WALLACE IS NOT GOOD
PYNCHON IS LIKELY TOO DIFFICULT FOR YOU FOR NOW
YOU SHOULD NOT BE PROUD OF YOUR MONETARY OR MATERIALISTIC ACQUISITIONS
THINK FOR YOURSELF
BUY AND READ A BOOK YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN DID NOT TELL YOU TO BUY AND READ
FUCK OFF

I can't ever take The Poisonwood Bible seriously because it's the one book that my mom has read and she goes on about how it's incredible that it uses multiple perspectives and how it shows just because someone is religious doesn't mean they're that great a person.

The issue is that if he wasn't new he would have already read them years ago.
I don't think it's worth shitposting for just that, but hey.

Thats a pretty nice haul. Did you buy them online?

>>9622053
local store. Just over $60 for all of them used

>>9621092
at least read hemingway's big 4 and his 49 short stories (as a pdf or something) before you go crazy buying crap.

I think this is all from the past 3 weeks

I now have a planned route that I use to efficiently hit up 7 thrift stores in less than an hour to scour for what I am looking for. I've gotten it down to a science.

The religious books were bought at my local Basilica, and the Bible online.

Your location on your lit journey is only yours. Others came before you, others will come after. Let OP read what he wants, most are great picks.

How much of those are from thrift stores and how much did they cost?

I just ordered 100 Selected Poems by E.E. Cummings and The Trouble with Being Born by Emil Cioran

>pic related its me

>>9622457
I'm going to buy Wealth of Nations as well.

Any other good economic books that anyone could recommend me?

>>9622761
Everything that isn't on the desk surface is from thrift stores. They cost $2-$5 each.


>>9622934
I haven't read it, but Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell is apparently a good one.

Mother bought me The Growth of the Soil. All I got.

>>9622934
Why don't you read an actual economics text book instead of wasting your time with this old fart who has no clue about the modern globalized economy?
