Very reddit. Poor taste in literature.

Don't make me post my shelf with anime and comic books OP, delete this thread before I'm forced to act

Your shelf looks like pillars and not a shelf

literature wasn't invented in the 20th century, y'know

looks like you know what you like and read what you want. overall pretty nice OP

Really? I discovered a lot of these through lit

Yeah I should get some older classics

Good. There a few books I don't know, but most of them are nice.

Since you seem to like modernism, pick up some of these.

That's unfortunate to say the least.

I haven't hopped in on a shelf thread in a while.
I work a normal 9 to 5 now and have taken up a few other hobbies so I've only read a few books over the past month or so, and all shorter ones.

Actually I ironically own it.

Judging by the amount of pictures of randomly roaming-the-house books, I can safely say that you're one of those buying books as a craving but never ending them and now using it as house decoration to boost self-esteem when someone sees it in real life.

different anons u tard

I love that version of Anthropologist on Mars.
Is it Picador?

Send me your Dara

In the miso soup is fucking great and one of the most disturbing books i've read

What's modernist about Gatsby?

Nice ironic sticky notes ;)

You seem like a pretty cool person. I think you posted this before and I remember having the same thought then, too. Where are you from?

I'll get back to you this afternoon. My copy of River of Consciousness seems to be with the same collection; I suspect that the color diagonals on the spines are supposed to transition from book to book with the full set.
Well yeah, I ironically read it.
Many places.

Is Gravity's Rainbow the only Pynchon book you own? That's not a good one to start with imo.

Did you buy the Great Books one by one on ebay/Amazon?

Why does it always stink so much in these shelf threads? You people need to start taking showers!

Vintage. Details in pic related.
If you look at my other pics you'll find that I own half or a third or so of his oeuvre, but embarrassingly I've only read Inherent Vice and Crying of Lot 49, so I've very much been memed by Yea Forums, but in my defense all of them except GR were gifted, thrifted, or shoplifted.
No, I bought that set cheap at a consignment store or something similar a while back. I honestly partly regret it because translation quality was not the highest priority of the publisher. The missing book is the Euclid, Archimedes, etc. one because I'm trying to trick myself into enjoying math.

This is River of Consciousness from what appears to be the same publication run.

>ripped M&D inner jacket
>missing outer jacket
AHHHHHHHHH

Yours don't?

Outer jacket?

You are exactly 20 years old. If you are older this is pathetic

It should have a clear plastic jacket over the faux-antique paper one

I got it for $2 or so at a thrift store.

How can someone with a basketball trophy have such tiny feet?

I got it because it mentions Ecclesiastes.
These are mostly outside of my immediate orbit but good move getting Burgess in English. That book is one of those difficult-to-translate types.

>it's a Yea Forums vs plebbit episode
Plot twist: they're the fucking same, if you enjoy those books then keep at it bro. Don't listen to these Negative Nancys

You might like No longer human or confessions of a mask. Also Kokoro is a classic.

Looks like you browsed a week worth of lit before deciding to get into literature and you just bought those to chameleon your way into this board.
Please develop your own taste, people are gonna judge what you read nonetheless so you might as well read something you actually like and value.

Consider reading non-fiction at some point, OP.

good entry level modernist taste, i went through the phase of reading all i could my hands on when i was younger, though now its mostly just the greeks and philo

>non-fiction
>good
pick one

The Art Book (Phaidon), The Making of the Indebted Man (Lazzarato), Elements (Euclid), The Book of Kells (Henry)...

I said good books not this shite

how good of a read is the tunnel?

Thank you! :^)
