The fact that two books wrote by the same author and published by the same company, show the author's name in two different ways, really annoys me.
Elijah Martinez
Two different Schillers. One of them is good, but the other is beautiful.
Nicholas Anderson
Stack 'em, post 'em, read 'em on the loo.
I see you've got some Goethe and Schiller there, very nice. Been meaning to get into german literature properly for a while now, and recently started learning the language (as any aspiring literature homo from my country should).
Christian Fisher
why would you get penguin translations for schopie? or penguin translations at all? Their was source showing that the schopenhauer book you have was a copy and paste of an old shit translation with nothing changed
Parker Price
It was a gift idk. I only get penguin when there’s not other option or they have an interesting collection (like the German idealism book)
Oliver Torres
>Bédier - The novel of Tristan and Isolde
>Lao She - Rickshaw Boy
>Hölderlin - Hyperion
>Katona - Bánk Bán (The "National Drama" of Hungary)
Got two for free:
>The Biography of the Hungarian Language
>Bernard - Old Masters

>why would you get penguin translations for schopie
That is actually the only translation that genuinely captures the tone of Schopenhauer's prose. Most enjoyable translation I have ever read of any of Schopenhauer's works.

Which one is which?

yea that one(german idealist) is pretty good, nothing against penguin some of their stuff is just bad sometimes.
What have you read of his?What editions? I read him in German so some of the English translations falter heavily from his style for me

Been on my Blake lately, man's the truth
Sebastian Campbell
can't wait to be done with exams and get started on my backlog

>Modern library hardbacks
I didn't even know these were a thing. I thought they only made horribly bound paperbacks.

Blake is best boy
Went to a booksale last weekend, here's my completely random stack. I think what I like best about booksales is they really encourage you to just grab whatever looks interesting. Everything is so cheap there's really no reason not pick up even the smallest thing that catches your attention.

Benjamin Rodriguez

Camden Baker
Oh user, it only gets worse from here, I'm 1,000+ books in and still find more that I want.
Michael Lewis

you can't be helped, friend
i have 150 books on my wishlist
Charles Brooks
If you have a backlog of purchased books, stop buying new stuff and read the stuff you've already bought. At the very least do something like setting a rule for yourself that you need to read x number of books (say 3) before you buy 1 book. It can help to make a list for this (goodreads has a shit community, but it makes it incredibly easy to scan in a backlog and mark them as "to read" so you have a tabulated list somewhere). Once you get through your backlog, then just make sure to never let it grow past a small number of books. A large wishlist is fine, a large library of books you own, that you are planning on getting around to reading "eventually" is awful. It makes it harder to decide what to read next, and is a money sink. Also consider selling books you've read to used book stores or online if you don't plan on returning to them. If they're in decent condition (ie. if you buy them new, or in decent condition, and don't treat them like a fucking ape) you should be able to recoup some amount of money from your purchase, albeit not a huge percentage (especially if you buy books new).

>new bookshop has oppened up since started going to uni
>have gotten about $600 worth of books
>thats not even including my course textbooks
I think i may have a problem
Just out of curiosity, I have Camus' The Rebel and The Myth of Sisyphus; are these good starting points for going into his philosophy or is the plague something i should have also gotten
Benjamin Sullivan
Oh learn German already.
Andrew Turner
$600 is like, at worst, probably 60 books if you're buying them new. Depending on when you started going to university, that's not really that bad.
Tyler Cruz
I'm in my second year atm. Keep in mind I'm in aus, so books are on average 25-45 here. But hey, there are worse addictions right?
Brody Ward
So you've bought 24 books in somewhere between 1 and 2 years, then? I'm not sure why you think that is a problem, unless you buy them and don't read them.
Kevin Lewis
well thats not including my textbooks (another 200 dollars or so), but yeah i guess its funny to me to think about these things and go "wow, I've spent x on all of this'. But yeah I get what you say about buying and not reading
Josiah Gomez
If they're classics and you read them I don't see the problem. If you spend 600 bucks on YA or genre fiction you should off yourself
Gavin Collins
So long as you own fewer books than clothes, there is no problem.
Mason Garcia
Judge me.
Wyatt Richardson
The Badiou book is excellent
Michael Gomez
I think about Sorel some times. I should read his book. They say it was quite influential.

>How's Söderberg?
He's great. Doctor Glas is his best, as you might imagine, but The Serious Game is a solid novel still. Not sure how he reads in translation though.
Liam Hall
It needs a good vacuming, otherwise fine.
Dylan Torres
I've heard of Doctor Glas, wouldn't have been able to pin it to Söderberg though.
>Not sure how he reads in translation though.
Det är lugnt. Tror det löser sig på den fronten om jag bestämmer mig för att läsa svenskt.
