Another user asked for more, so I'm going to repost the epics shelf first, then another three pictures.
1/4 - Epics
Joshua Sullivan
2/4 - Japanese Shelf
Gabriel Jones
3/4 - Leftover Japanese books and the two Chinese shelves.
Jacob Ramirez
How long did it take you to collect all of this? You're the guy that posted like at least a dozen close-ups in the previous thread, right?
Anthony Turner
4/4 - Slavic literature (From Polish to Russian)
The other shelves aren't as packed/organised/curated so I'm not really proud of them, but these once I like and read if I can.
Austin Brooks
he doesn't own them and stop encouraging this diseased retard he has been doing this for almost 36 hours straight and his last thread was deleted for spam. Hopefully these posts will be soon as well.

Why dont you guys have like.. cool books?
Jaxon Martinez
That's not the guy you are thinking of, the user who posted his four shelves in this thread is contributing properly. I saw the first shelf he posted in the last thread and he is not the guy you are thinking of.
Luis Stewart
I'm not the politics black magician.
Collecting the epics took maybe 7-8 months.
The Chinese and the Japanese shelves took considerably longer to assemble, around 2 or so years I'd say.
Aiden Torres
nice collection. what do you do for a living, user? why you collect these books specifically?
mad respect.

Megtisztelő.
I'm a student. My fascination with the orient started when I was roughly 16 or so and when I was at the theatre I happened to buy a copy of the Dao de jing. That's how I fell down the rabbit hole.
Germanic epics, I don't remember. I really wanted to read the Nibelungenlied for whatever reason last year or so, and it was a slippery slope from there.
Author's nationality/subject. I usually (as in, if I have a lot of books around a given theme, then I group them together, like I did with the epics.) sort books based on nationality, unless they are non-fiction.
Noah Parker
what do you study? eastern literature? are you american?
Luis Moore
I'm a Hungarian HS student.
My intention is to study eastern languages and become a translator.
Samuel Richardson
wtf man you're building a fantastic foundation there, congratulations, you're probably one of the few people on here who actually has a nice collection and is using it to a good end. you got any more shelves/pics?
Jordan Turner
My other shelves are really plain I'd say.
I have a philosophy one, a German literature one and one for English and Irish authors. (I liked Dubliners a lot when I first read it during a nice, warm spring, so I re-read it in English.)
Nothing the average Yea Forumsard doesn't own.
And of course I own a lot of Hungarian literature too, mainly Karinthy and Krasznahorkai.
Though if you want pictures of any of the shelves just say it.
The problem is that I don't arrange those too much, though I've been meaning to get into Shakespeare during the past two months, it's just that reading Dostoevsky and books on Dostoevsky is eating up my time. (Though at least they give me secondary literature at school if I ask for it, I heard some teachers take it as a form of distrust if you read books instead of listening to what they say, or at least they take it so that you don't pay attention to them and instead opt to read books on the subject, which is in itself a form of grave disrespect if you think about it.)

Don't push your books all the way to the back of the shelfs, it's bad for them.
Nice haul. I really disliked Thinking, Fast and Slow though.

Yeah, started reading it and so far feels like one idea stretched out into 300 pages..

I just finished reading it again! I read it while watching Ken Burns Civil War and reading Walt Whitman’s Drum Taps as an American Iliad- I have at least 2 copies in this image

Are all Loebs this small? In the other shelf thread, the Loebs appear much larger.
Josiah White
I only see the penguin and maybe one loeb volume
they're all small. they're designed by james loeb himself to fit in a gentleman's waistpocket
Jaxon Richardson
>they're designed by james loeb himself to fit in a gentleman's waistpocket
That's based. More books should be pocket sized.

I picked up the following lately this week. Just got Butcher's Crossing today which was a pretty nice find.
A Brief History of Seven Killings-Marlon James
Gillespie-J Macdougall
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich-Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Foucalt's Pendulum-Eco
Rashomon and Seventeen Other Short Stories-Akutagawa
Butcher's Crossing-John Williams
The Rainbow Stories-William T Vollmann
The Lost Europeans-Emanuel Litvinoff
Insomnia-Stephen King
Divided Kingdom-Rupert Thomas
Turn of the Screw and Other Stories-Henry James
The Worm Ouroboros- Eric Rücker Eddison
I've never read Vollmann before so I have zero idea if The Rainbow Stories is a good place to start with him or not.

Nice Vineland edition. I won't forgive you for buying Vintage however.
Which Infinite Jest pressing is that? I wanna get my hands on a good hardcover edition, but most of the ones I've found are that annoying white cover version
Thanks. I like my collection, but the actual shelf itself is awful, like one of those cheap wooden-plastic things you find, well, on the side of the street. It's always on the verge of falling over. The dream is to get something like
Julian Taylor
Not pictured is the one I'm reading right now, intro to ring theory by Cohn, a light book under my level but a well deserved rest from AG. Atiyah MacDonald gets requested back every time since it's very popular, wish it didn't cost like £100 for a 120 page book. All of the books pictured and way more I have a digital copy of, I just prefer physical textbooks over reading on computer and Kindle wouldn't work well. Reading literature books I prefer kindle since it's free and same experience, except for books where I need notes to keep track or where I go back and forth. Just bought Watchmen and V since they were cheap and Kindle can't replicate that, haven't read yet.

How many hours a day do you usually read for shelffriends? I try and go for two or three at the most.

Is that 33 1/3 on Kid A any good? I've read the ones for ITAOTS, Donuts and Spiderland and while they were all interesting, Spiderland >> Donuts >>>> ITAOTS

Gavin Watson
It's alright. Parts of it, iirc, give really great descriptions of what the album's doing, but I can't say I left feeling closer to it the way that the Donuts book did.
Chase Fisher
Depends if I'm working on anything interesting.
1 hour while I commute, another one in the library if I'm not studying anything.
Otherwise 4-5 hours during weekends.
Blake Sullivan
no, I just like to read and N/W European.

I'm gonna assume you're Finnish so let me ask this: where do you buy your books from that are in English? Do you just order them online?

I found Journey to the End of the Night on the street while walking around New York and it wound up being one of my favourite books.

I once picked up the Little Prince by St Exupery off the street in Boston once.
What is up with people throwing translated french literature away on the street? Maybe it's some disgruntled reader of French Literature trying to seed American streets with good things to read?

He reads good books, lots of history and great literature. He needs to read Emerson

I hide those behind books that I like and forget about them.
Or I just simply put them up for "adoption"

Colton Clark
It's all individual excerpts of his thought through the mid 80s to the early 90s, so it's fun idle reading if you want to just flip to a page and enjoy a self contained article. I've always appreciated his style of writing, insight, and expression.
I suppose it is! It's over 560 pages including the fore and afterword, along with a section on the etymology of the phrase and references used in the book.
You're too kind, and I do have Emerson resting among some more books on another shelf.
Nathan Harris
Jack Clark
I might have too many books
