Oops. Here's the actual picture.

And some more as well.

These I got from the library, they've got a few shelves of 50 cent books. I also got a copy of Sense and Sensibility for the lady, she'd been wanting it for a while.

>>3152276
How about some more, eh?

Really excited, I got V. and Ulysses within a day of each other after ordering them online, and Cuckoo's Nest came yesterday.

Hey now, it's not so bad. I prefer physical books to ebooks, and the library always makes me think I'll be late.

On another note, I just kind of found this in the hallways on the way to my college's library. It doesn't have a name, and it's definitely not a library book, so I just kinda..took it.

Too lazy to take a picture.

Forgot to say: nice books, OP. Except I'm not sure I would have picked up the I, Robot with Will Smith on the cover, even for free.

>>3152305
>>3152312
And you as well; Eh, I was on the fence until there was literally nothing else but what was in the picture, so I figured might as well.

But it's vintage, 2004

I just received the Ender's Game Series. Discipline and Punish by Foucault is in the mail.

>>3152341
Your pleb levels are dangerously high, best go to a gay s&m dungeon until that book arrives.

>>3152346

What is particularly wrong with Discipline and Punish? I heard it was pretty good.

>>3152356
No, it is very good, but you only have Ender's Game right now.

The joke just isn't worth it now I'm explaining it. Also, felt quite sick reading the first bit of D&P. Such nasty things.

>>3152359

>No, it is very good, but you only have Ender's Game right now.

That's not all I have. It's just what I recently purchased, as per the OP. I remembered it from my childhood and decided I'd take two or three days to re-read the series.

>The joke just isn't worth it now I'm explaining it.

I'm aware that Foucault was into some pretty fringe sexual expression. I just thought you were implying that D&P was a pleb tier book.

>>3152303
oh even though it's paperback, that's an expensive edition

>>3152366
Norton Critical Editions are usually pretty pricey. I love them, though, I actually almost bought a copy of Heart of Darkness from my school because I loved the stuff in the back of the Norton edition

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was bought for my younger brother.
I also just had Under the Volcano and Journey to the End of the Night come in the mail.

just get a sign printed on your face "I am trying this hard to seem edgy, want to fuck?".

lelelele or he could just get a -

go away

Just picked up Journey to the End of the Night.

I ordered a few from the library recently:

>Who Are You? by Anna Kavan
>Aladdin's Problem by Ernst Junger
>Encounters by Juan Garcia Ponce
>The Diary of Mr. Pinke by Ewald Murrer

And I put in a request that they order Down the Rabbit Hole by Juan Pablo Villalobos and The Book of Monell by Marcel Schwob for the actual library (which I'll be checking out immediately after they do). But who knows when that'll be.

I'm /planning/ a big order from Dalkey Archive, since they've got their holiday sale going on. Sometime before December 15th, I'll hopefully be getting these for $60:

>P's Three Women by Paulo Emílio Sales Gomes
>Log of the S.S. The Mrs Unguentine by Stanley Crawford
>Ariadne in the Grotesque Labyrinth by Salvador Espriu
>Locos: A Comedy of Gestures by Felipe Alfau
>Why the Child Is Cooking in the Polenta by Aglaja Veteranyi
>The Best of Myles by Flann O'Brien
>Heartsnatcher by Boris Vian
>Suicide by Edouard Leve
>Isle of the Dead by Gerhard Meier
>Phosphor in Dreamland by Rikki Ducornet

>>3153595
Ack! See my Dalkey thread! I'm looking for recs. And +1 for the Anna Kavan, she's marvelous.

>>3153599
I just saw it! Writing a post for it now.

Fiction:
The New York Trilogy
All the King's Men
Dhalgren
The Rings of Saturn
The Piano Man's Daughter
The Confessions of Nat Turner
The Untouchables

Non-fiction:
The Lost Continent
Notes From a Big Country
A Walk in the Woods
Chaos
No Logo

$13, all unmarked and pretty much brand new. I love library sales.

Just finished Dance with Dragons.
I really hope my favorite character, Jon Snow doesn't die.

I suggest reading the Song of Ice and Fire series if you haven't read it.

I am probably going to read 1984 next.

Got these three yesterday.

Last three books I got. I started on Notes a couple of nights ago and I'm really digging it. I think I'll get into more Dostoevsky after I finish Notes From the Underground. Been reading some of the Foucault-Chomsky book too.

What's wrong with using the library?

Just bought the short stories of Fitzgerald and Updike's early stories.
Which read first?

>>3153803
Nothing if you don't mind reading books impregnated with other people's ass juice and semen and mucus and cheeto dust.

>>3153813
That probably doesn't happen often when you're the only person to have ever had the book checked out.

>>3152266
I hope they ban you from /cgl/, SOL you piece of shit.

>>3153618
I've got the first four ASOIAF books, just haven't gotten around to them yet. I wanted to get The Hobbit as well, but the store had three copies of every other Tolkien that I already own and none of that.

>>3153740
Marvelous. I read the Chomsky-Foucault book last year for a paper on the former, thoroughly enjoyed it.
