Could you tell me a little bit about this mythology book?

Haven't read all of it but the "Cat" chapter is cute and comfy.

Basically it's just an easily-referenced encyclopedia of classical mythology.

Thinking about buying that Mythology book by Edith Hamilton, did you enjoy it?
Zachary Cook
Fix your drawer.
Cameron Torres
I enjoyed it, but i've never read any other book on mythology so I really can't say much.
It's a shelf you mong
pretty good selection,
Why is your edition of 1984 so thicc? Otherwise, unconventional but interesting selection.

It's a hardcover version of a massmarket paperback edition I've had for a long, long time, that my buddy just found. My old paperback copy has a huge price sticker on the front that I'll never cleanly get off so I'm glad to have a hardback copy to put on my shelf since I really like the art.

Folios are cheap second hand, well made and look nice. Plus the weight and the buckram bindings feel good to hold while you read.

>look how good my shelves look!
hyper-materalist cringe. society of the spectacle at its finest. i'm sickened and disgusted. you buy books for the *content* you want to reread, not for glorified kitsch decor. either buy second-hand books or go to the library. you're a stinking pseud and it reeks, go collect funko pops instead and get off my board.
Henry Cooper
These bindings upset pseuds not only because they're new and lack any visible signs of wear, but because by virtue of being well-crafted hardcovers they're unlikely to accumulate them any time soon. These are very disturbing qualities in books to your average il/lit/erati who yearns to demonstrate nicely creased and cracked "definitely perused and totally not pseud" paperback spines more than he wants to actually read the very pages they hold together. In their eyes, investing in a sturdy, luxurious leather or nicely decorated buckram bindings to please the owner's eye and provide the books with more longevity is antithetical to the one and only reason of owning physical books at all; that is to serve as an achievement display that would quickly and unambiguously communicate to the two drunken girls and three college dudebros who visit their studio apartment once a year just how authentically e/lit/e and genuinely well-read the owner is, whilst definitely not trying to pretend to want to hope to look like it. Plus, the price factor also breaks some typical self-imposed illusions of being a chosen member of some semi-secret class of penniless bohemian intellectuals, engaged in cultural guerilla warfare on the back line of a grand army of philistine en-pee-see bougies, that so many younger members of /pol/-for-smart-people seem to be under. These are quite hilarious idiosyncrasies and I can wholeheartedly recommend skimming through some older shelf threads to find people both accusing someone of buying particular bindings to show off and chastising the others for not having their spines project the required aura of "well-readness" quite strong enough all in a single post.

I can appreciate the physical/aesthetic aspects of a book, but this is taking it too far. Those Folio editions are expensive (some are >500, with a handful of limited edition volumes in the $1000 range). I could see splurging and buying a couple, but this guy has four whole shelves full of them!
Me, I'm fine with my cheapo trade paperbacks. I'll spend $20-30 or so for an Everyman if I want guaranteed longevity, but I'm usually wary of spending more than that. That said, I really, really want that Folio Sound and Fury with the colored text, but alas, it's sold out, and the copies on eBay go for >$1000!

Logan Williams
Hard to believe you buy solely for aesthetics. Don't you care about translation or textual quality? Don't you donate books once you're done reading them? You'll never reread 9/10 of these, what's the pointing on spending thousands and thousands of dollars for volumes like "collected ghost stories"? Maybe someone else can explain this mindset to me.
Justin Hughes
Ayyy, I just picked up that Kravitz piece a week or so ago. I love the illustrations, and the exhaustive lists of lovers for each major player-- it's wild to see them all listed so plainly, really gives you a sense of how frequently they slept around.

This is a bit all over the place. It's like you're confusing game dev with engine dev. You have learn C++ with Unreal, then you have rendering/graphics books, then game programming gems, then you have a Unity book. If you want to make a game, just focus on unreal or unity. Making your own engine is a rabbit hole you probably dont want to go in

neat - I'm currently working through his Parallel Lives right now.
it seems like the only place a complete set of his Moralia were published in English was in the Loeb Classical Library. I believe I have at least half of them in pdf form, but I was looking at getting that cheapo Penguin edition just today because it'd be a more affordable edition to carry around.
if you're interested, I could upload what I have

All my Yea Forums stuff is from the past month. My boss loves Stephen King so he told me those when I asked him Stephen King recs, and Gaiman's Sandman is my fave series so I went Mythology/Greeks.
I made a thread before but if anyone has any recs on Mythology kind of stuff, I'd be very open to recommendations. I work in a planetarium and although I know a lot of the sciencey/names of the constellations and stars, I've been trying to find out stories and tales behind them because I think it helps the kids learn/piques their curiosity. I know a bit of Egyptology from University and the basic Greek stuff from these books, but any other stuff (I've been trying to look at North or Chinese) would be appreciated.
