Thanks anon, there seems to be a lot of pumped up people here that always have to shout down at anyone who they deem to be a “pseud” or a “brainlet” just because they don’t read the Greeks and all other types of philosophy. Eventually I want to get into that stuff but everyone’s got to start somewhere

>>11107482
Well, aside from C&P and the Bible the rest seem in reasonable condition. I guess it’s quite telling that those two are the most worn out ones... OP must be a man of God.

>NIV

Got these three.
First is a postmodern novella by Hungarian author Péter Esterházy Got these because I want to get more up close and personal with my homeland's literature
Second is a bilingual Chinese-Hungarian poetry collection
Third is Botchan by Soseki

Funny thing is, the last two are brand new, but they were printed more than 18 years ago. The publisher never sold them, so I got them for like 7 bucks.

>>11107553

Good foundation for Dante, Milton, and Blake. That copy's a bit beat up, but -
>NIV
Oh.

>LotR
Legitimately mythic, unlike all the shitty clones that came after it (just nuke the whole genre pls), but that chunky paperback is going to crease worse than the Dosto.

>Mosley bio by Skidelsky
Actually somewhat hard to find. He's a retarded fash apologist, of course, but not uninteresting. Try Dorril's version after.

>The God Delusion
I think this is the point where I go "AHAHAHAHAHA"

>Prisoners of Geography
>Battles of WWII
Never heard of these

>>11107615
It's targeted at Protestant Evangelicals and isn't even partial enough to include the Apocrypha used by other denominations. And the translation is just ugly and loses a lot of beauty, while still not being the most accurate or literal either. It's not 100% poopoo, it does manage to be very readable and easy to understand, but there are so many better options.

>>11107642
Thanks for the honest overview anon, some good commentary and recommendations too.

>>11107645
It was given to me as a gift, what other version would you recommend instead?

>>11107671
NKJV is fine and a good standard if you want to maintain the core from the translation but have it be accessible and understandable
KJV is goat

>>11107615
I think only the KJV and RSV (and maaaybe ESV, but I'm biased) are lit approved. Honestly you could do worse than the NIV but it's pretty loose with the translation for improved readability.

>>11107695
Noted, cheers mate.

Reposting from last thread.

Purchases from the last couple of months, except for Ibsen which is what I'm reading right now. Most of these were pretty inexpensive, especially the Teubner Martial (got it for 15% of its retail price).

The Monk, Stoner, The Sound of Waves, Brother Karamazov, The Odyssey, Plato's Republic.

>>11107695
>NKJV is fine and a good standard
Haha, no. It limits itself to the textual sources the KJV used, so it's behind all modern scholarship from the get-go. It fulfills no useful niche, if you want beautiful English, get the KJV, if you want accuracy, get a decent modern translation. Good examples include the NRSV, RSV, ESV, NASB, and NABRE.

>>11110675
I dont disagree about the KJV but it is ignorant to say that the NKJV fills no useful niche when it is literally a simplified version of the KJV. While ESV RSV are good translations they do have the fundamental bias towards Protestantism throughout the diction.

>>11111046

Not as much good stuff at the college's book sale as previous years, but I'm satisfied with what they had.
Also picked up The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea, just forgot to put that in the stack.

>>11110761
You realise NKJV is also a protestant translation?

>>11109225
Pretty good

>>11111091
Yes, I do however think it stays more in relation to the KJV. I believe anon should read the KJV but if he's looking for something as an alternative if the language is too difficult then the NKJV I believe is a suitable replacement

Indeed. Pynchon's like Joyce in that each book builds upon the previous books.

Although, in a pinch (ha ha), you could start Pynchon with Inherent Vice, since it actually has a climax and a denouement.

>>11115774
Very good, I was surprised a little desu bit better than j thought it would be

I feel I'm only one of a few with this hobby so I've decided as of right now to blog a bit about it, and where better than within the textual body of recurring /stack/ threads. I collect books, see, but here's the tickle. I will actively seek out, and yes indeed also procure books if they were or are published within a particular series I find aesthetically pleasurable. Most of these find themselves in the realm of the oft reviled mass paperback pulp. I'll quietly deviate from this main topic and show an example. Here we have the Vintage Classics line from Random House. Now there does seem to be a red cover line, but an older line and alternative lines exist. I'll admit I haven't researched too far into this series, however suffice to say, whenever I see a Vintage Classic book I'll immediately purchase it. Another thing to remember is that I buy all my books secondhand, the majority in a store where every paperback is $2, textbook is $3 and hardcover is $4.

>>11116104
>whenever I see a Vintage Classic book I'll immediately purchase it. Another thing to remember is that I buy all my books secondhand
same here anon
whenever i'm in my local oxfam bookshops i always keep an eye out for those red vintage spines. i know it means there's a good chance it'll be something i would like to read, even if it's something i've never heard of before

>>11107455
Good books, but you are mistaken if you think you can discuss them on /lit/. Everyone here is a poser who only buys literature as decoration and to lie that they've read it.

Another fun series to collect is this faber and faber line. I prefer series like this that have common characteristics such as mostly the same colour theme, titles, authors and logos generally in similar locations and similar design. This is in contrast with say the red spined Vintage Classics line. This is very rigid, so if you have a book within the that doesn't follow this, it sticks out like a sore thumb. I'll say an example, those red spines aren't all the exact same red. Now I admit I haven't researched too far into it but I haven't seen any kind of uniformity, for example rich bright red for Vintage Hemingway, softer almost burgundy for Vintage Williams. Here are the faber and faber I have, only William Golding books currently.

>>11116112
Same here, actually

>>11109781
Bruh just buy some wood and do it yourself. How is it really that difficult for you?

So you can surmise most are within that mass paperback pulp realm, however I'll also pick up an Everyman's Library hardcover if I find it. I probably won't ever try to get all of these as I don't find them that attractive, but I don't mind having those lengthy tomes be in hardcover form so why not as an Everyman's Library. I have fond memories of an EL book I owned as a teenager, Things Fall Apart so I'll try and buy that again some day. Again this isn't a series I have researched much into so I don't know why some are white and black spined, and others black and red with gold theme.

Now this is one of my all time favourite series to collect. Puffin Classics, the older style from the 1980s. This right here is how to make a fun series that strange people like me would get a kick out of collecting. Lots of different colours, however uniform enough that you can instantly recognize it as an older Puffin Classic either from the cover or the spine. Books contain illustrations and different illustrators do different covers which is often fun to research what else a particular illustrator has done. Illustrators don't get nearly as much recognition as they deserve. Apparently I'm what's known as a nostalgia collector, and if this is true than I'm thankful to the people that made these books memorable and recognizable. There was later a restyle of Puffin Classics and they look absolutely terrible in my opinion. Yes these are children's books, often abridged, not worth much money, often in bad shape but damn do I love collecting these bad boys.

I don't exclusively get books only as part of a series. More often than not, I buy books because I want a particular edition. This sometimes leads me down the rabbit hole of noticing that it is itself part of a series which I'll earmark and then be on the lookout for in the future. The Brothers Karamazov is part of yet another different style of Vintage Classics.

Stop talking to me

Continuing on. I really like seeing box sets of books. Here is one I found in great condition and from a publisher I enjoy, Lions. Normally this would have cost $10 but the seller seems to recognise me and gave it to me for $6. An almost new collection from 1980s complete with its cardboard slipcase.

This was another boxset I found. $2 for this one and it really is brand new. Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Not him but although I've been slacking somewhat I've still cleared, according to GoodReads, 8k pages this year. Although it doesn't count books partways-finished, and we can subtract ~8-900 for notes and indexes, it more or less balances out to around the same number.

>>11115274
/pol/ here. I'll give some thoughts on this. Ford translation is A+.The Stalag translation is more Orthodox though. Origins and Doctrines of Fascism is honestly something I'd read in pdf format. It's only like 20 pages, so there's no point in buying it only by some miracle you see it at a used book store. Mishima's series is great. I've also heard good things about "confessions of a mask." Evola definitely isn't something you should jump into like that. Ideally you already understand the basics of Guénon. The first Evola works you should read are Mystery of the Grail then The Hermetic Tradition then you can start on the big three. Admittedly, I just went straight into Revolt after finishing up Guénon.

A lot of /pol/acks jump into Evola with no understanding of Traditionalism and metaphysics.

there's an old lady near my house who makes them
she originally made them for bibles and i asked her if it works with my books and it does!
not all of them have these covers though

>>11119177
>not getting the joke

>>11119851
Absolutely pure kino my friend. You are a true aristocrat if the soul. Mind me asking how you purchased all of these? Hamilton is one of my favourite photographers

7/10
Not sure what that translation of the Bhagavad Gita is like but it’s a brilliant book full of truths

>>11123346
Mostly on ebay.

>>11124261
she looks like a boy

>>11117140
That's actually a good read, but not the best set of covers for that series.

>>11124278
Yeah, nah. You're a roastie, cunt.

Here’s what I bought to get into reading after pretty much reading nothing since high school. Did I do good?

>>11115274
>Mein Kampf
read some 30 pages of the original, was pretty weird
>Evola
super weird, have a collection of some essays lying around. as >>11119276 said, guenon is probably mandatory because you won't get his obscure shit. for most pollacks its uber meme tier
>doctrine of fascism
no idea, sounds turbo edgy
>the prince
babbys first political theory. still, important work
>codreanu
ultra edgy
>sea of fertility tetralogy
absolute patrician, finished runaway horses a few weeks ago. easily one of my favourite books, mishima is just such a powerful writer. check out confessions of a mask as well and, if you want more homocore, forbidden colors

Not that anyone will understand

Stack this, faggots

I'm also waiting for The Iliad, but it has not arrived yet.

>>11107972
>t. Michael j. Fox

>>11124743
is homage to Catalina any good? Ive been thinking about either getting the single book or the the gorge Orwell collection

>>11124757
I bought a paperback edition of the iliad from that publisher too. I regret it as it was 2 years ago when I wasn't aware just how much off a turn off reading a low quality paperback is as I only researched which translation I should get (Fitzgerald translation). I dont really have the money to be buying different editions of the same book either so I just have to live with the fact one of the greatest books of all time in sitting on my shelf as a hideous fucking paperback worthy of ratnest tinder.

This is what I will get. Fuck barnes and noble. I'm getting the Easton Press edition.

>>11124892
I am getting the paperback version from Penguin Classics of the Iliad.
Are there many differences between different versions?

>>11123346
>kino
Fuck off retard

>>11107671
I can recommend the Douay-Rheims bible. It's beautifully translated and fairly accurate, be prepared to pay a bit more if you'd choose to get one

>>11124892
Translator?

>>11125467
Pic related.

>>11125022
Check the translation, see if you like it. Penguin should have chosen a good one. I just think you'd be happier if you spent the extra shekels on a nice hardback edition. At least get the barnes and noble iliad + odyssey.

>>11107455
This is what I plan on reading over the next 2 or so weeks. Read animal farm last night and wished I had got round to reading it sooner. The myth of sisyphus I'm going through atm

This shit is self-indulgent and camwhorish.

>>11112642
I spent way to long making this only to be ignored by you Luddites with your upside down, shaky and or blurry fucking piles of meme/usual boring choices

>>11125599
thanks for the explanations my dude

>>11124647
Do tell senpai

>>11125599
The Barnes and Noble (hardcover) editions are all the prose translation by Butler, don't advise people to get that shit
