Didn't see one of these threads up. Got this stack for five dollars, all together. How did I do? I'm a total newbie to poetry, so those three poetry books are basically going to be my intro into the genre. Anyone read Parade's End before? Thoughts? Unrelated to stack, but my current reading is 2666.

The Edmund Wilson is such a delight to go through. Up there with Auden as far as critics go.
Lucas Russell
OP here, also anyone have any opinion on the Alexandria Quartet (forget author's name) and Hard Times by Dickens? I chose not to get those, but if you guys think they're any good I might go back today and buy them.
Dominic Morales
Dickens is nice
Austin Sanchez
>Alexandria Quartet
God, yeah i've read it, well some of it; it was maybe a mistake to read it right after Anthony Powell but it's reputation is so enormous that i just bought the whole set without reading any of it beforehand.
Sorry to say it, but, It's a dull turd.
Nicholas Hughes
I would go back for the Alexandria Quartet. Leave the Dickens. Not one of his best efforts.
Benjamin Wood
Would you recommend Anthony Powell?
Isaac Smith
Oh and another mistake i just remembered was C. P. Snow's Corridors of Power,. Dull, but at least i had forewarning on that one.
Still, There was a time when you weren't considered 'literary' if you hadn't read these.
Luis Hughes
Yes.
It's may be cliche now to compare Dance to the Music of Time to Proust but it's wholly justified. The depth of feeling there is in parts just as complex
Liam Scott
Thanks. The back cover of the Dickes said as much, itself, which is why I didn't get it.
Kayden King
I want to read Tropic of Cancer.
Connor Martinez
just bough it a couple days ago, want to read it soon
it was 400rub (6.20$) but i bought some other books and the seller gave it for 300
John Price
Ford Madox Ford is a good choice

I don't see Waugh get enough love around here so I added it to my stack even though I bought it a while ago. Did you like Waugh Abroad?
James Moore

I don't want to force you. It has to be completely voluntary. I respect your independence and freedom of expression. Please post a stack, but only if you really want to.

Extremely reddit. I suspect this post is a joke. Repost the stack with a timestamp and rearrange the books to prove this is real
Charles Johnson
It's real.
Nathan Hughes
cool stack bro. what are you reading first?
Henry Cox
Ok, well enjoy i guess. What are you currently reading?
Justin Wood
I'm finishing up Astrophysics. From there I'm not sure. It's clear I've made poor choices.
Levi Reyes
What do when the only people in your area who read are middle class and poor housewives so the second hand market is shit tier poetry and romance 'novels'?
Jordan Thomas
Don't care what they say, a lot of those books are really enjoyable.
Easton Rodriguez
Metamorphosis and Animal Farm are currently my favorites out of what I've read so far. They were very enjoyable.
Jayden Cox
Well this board generally regards Kafka very highly, except for that one poster that's obsessed with the fact that Kafka is Jewish, so you're off to a good start.
Sebastian Adams
Yes, I AM a hippie.

meh 70% of that looks worth reading to me. I'd probably drop some of the longer Lenin works unless you're really game for them and probably skip the Nietzsche, Carlson, Milo.
The rest is just comfy lit no?
Justin Adams
These just arrived with the mail.

Based. Make sure to read it in public, preferably in libraries and at your local Starbucks.

Someone know a good site to get cheap philosophy books if you are in central or east europe and dont have accept to good stores? Amazon is too expensive in delivery fees and local books stores are shit. I was using wordery and bookdepository but those are not cheap at all. It seems used books of any worth are not attainable if you are not in west or america.
Michael Sanders
That's not your stack big guy
Owen Allen
The most obvious answer is to just pirate them. I guess you could also ask local bookstores to get them for you, they should not have any problems with delivery fees.

you can also try abebooks.com there are many international sellers. and aside from some portion going to the website, you are supporting small businesses. I get many of my books on there.

Then what am I supposed to fap to?
Anyway, make sure you check out 100 Years of Solitude if you enjoy Love in the Time of Cholera. Then keep exploring South American literature, it's great.
William Johnson
Yes, that's right.
