Why do phone posters constantly do this? Why can't they just correct the rotation of the picture before they post? It's so frustrating. Stop phone posting OP, nobody wants you here. Just leave.
Also, stop making these thinly veiled instagram tier threads to show off your pseudo intellectual stack of mediocre books. They reek of an inflated sense of self-importance.

What's Storm of Steel like? I've just downloaded a PDF and did a little research on Ernst Jünger. Apparently he did LSD later on in his life. Seems like an interesting dude. What's History of the Freemasons like? I'm interested in their role in political movements and governments.
Here's my stack btw

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.

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.

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.

Reading the top three and flipping the bottom volumes for now, I've read a couple of intros for the Presocratics and want to really sink my teeth into them now. Reading the Iliad for the first time (yikes!), reading about Anaxagoras in preperation of getting a book on the Derveni Papyri, and rereading Seneca's letters, my introduction to the Classics. All of this is thanks to /lit/'s advice to start with the Greeks, thank you all, you got this boy into the Classics.

Stupid retards, even niggers own bookshelves and can make them.
You have books just sitting in a literal pile. Calling it the slightly less displeasing 'stack' changes nothing.
Really goes to show how mentally sick so called intellectuals here are..

a lot of unread books. Get a better bible (oxford annotated nsrv yes please), that's a good nietzsche but you should get basic writings of nietzsche by modern library classics (with those two you have most of his writings), get complete plato cause its worth it and compare that version with your oxford republic. I think it's a good edition but there are differences in translation. throw out the rest cept locke and maybe sartre.
