Good stack! There are a lot of books in that section of business which are full of shit and say nothing useful or applicable. These are all good ones.

Someone I knew was getting rid of parts of their library and invited me to step in and take some off their shoulders. (On the grounds of "I don't need it, and you have your whole life ahead of you, so you'll get more use out of it".)
Taking all of them home was a pain in the ass, but completely worth it.
Some of the things I got:
>Baudelaire - Artificial Paradises
I despised symbolist poetry in class. It's the quintessential "gay French nonsense" form of art. But a quasi-drug diary from the late 19th century seems interesting enough.
>Selected Writings of Aesthetics from Ancient China
I've been after this booklet for some time on the grounds of being a sinoboo.
>Proust - In Search of Lost Time Vol. I. and II.
It's impossibly hard to get here. I've never seen anything above volume three in my life, despite the last few volumes being published less than a decade ago. (The first three were published in the 30s, but the countercultural intellectuals were reading it in French before that.)
>Bibliotheca of Pseudo-Apollodorus
A primary-source on Greek mythology, always a good thing.
>Dostoevsky - Selected letters, studies and diaries
>Dostoevsky - The Double
I love Dostoevsky to death, so it was sort of a given to take these.
>Nikolai Gogol - The Nose, The Overcoat, The Carriage (Bilingual edition)
Never read Gogol, and I don't speak Russian (Turns out there is more to it than knowing the Cyril alphabet.), they seem like short enough pieces, and I'm interested in reading The Nose because Shostakovich composed music for an opera adaptation.
>Hoffman - The Golden Flowerpot
>Goethe - The Sorrows of the Young Werther
I really hate myself for missing out on German romanticism when we had to read works of it in school. Now is as good a time as any to catch up, and these are really short works.
>Nietzsche - The Birth of Tragedy
>Nietzsche - Selected Writings
Nietzsche is one of those subjects that fall into the category of "I'm sort of well acquainted with it" on the grounds of reading some of Zarathustra when I was 16 after someone gifted me a copy. Though I must say, it made me feel a lot better at the time. Will to power and all that wahoo. Time to actually engage with Nietzsche
>Eight volumes from the "-isms" series
They are basically books with an introduction and a selection of primary sources (Essays and other writings) by authors who wrote in that style. The volumes here are: The Rococo, Classicism, Romantics, Naturalism, Existentialism, Symbolism, Surrealism and The Postmodern. The postmodern volume seems the most interesting at first glance, because it has essays from all those whacky bloody postmodern neomarxist French thinkers that hardly got published here. Though I got them mainly because their introductory essays are supposedly good (Albeit not short, usually clocking in at 80-130 pages.)

Stop this memery. Literature isn’t an expensive hobby. Books are cheap, cheaper than ever. Just buy second hand.

Last night I went to a park with my wife to steal some soil, and I ended up buying these books.

Bro yours is only like one level higher than his in terms of basicness. That being said steppen wolf and siddartga are good reads. Steppen pairs well with no longer human by osamu Dazai if you wanna read books about self degeneracy, and notes from the underground by Dostoyevsky too

impressive haul, Magyarbro
>>Dostoevsky - Selected letters, studies and diaries
I should probably get these - I've only been into his fiction, and it never occurred to me that he wrote anything but fiction.
>>Nietzsche - The Birth of Tragedy
contains his argument for the Apollonian/Dionysian distinction in art. it's never gone away in our culture but when I read it, it changed the way I think about all kinds of art.
Dominic James
Lol
What is that poopoo language
Jose Cox
please read notes from underground as soon as possible
i read it today
ive never had a book have such a profound effect on me
the first part (roughly 40 pages) is going to be a bitch to get through, but there is a change in form after that and it is much easier to read.
do it
you will not regret it

So what’s the purpose of stacks threads? Are they supposed to be what books I’m gonna read or what?
Hunter Ortiz

Graphical way of showing books you've already read
Levi Campbell
I am not sure what a stack is. I am thinking it is a group of books you are currently reading, that are on you current list that you have recently bought or are reading. I am reading war and peace now it is hard to read it is from the 1800s we talk different now, but I like the story but I have only read about 2 pages. I would like to know what a stack is also thanks for responses hope you all reach your goals and enjoy the books your reading.
Nathaniel Gonzalez
ok nice post you did there user good luck on your further ventures
Levi Jones
Running through the house with a pickle in my mouth. Just a country kid out here misbehaving.
Angel Sanchez
I need to get a Lovecraft collection. That was my most checked out book at the uni library. You should check out The Best of Gene Wolfe. Some Borges tier short stories
Jonathan Rivera
Notes is extremely good. Brothers has some excellent moments but it didn’t have the profound effect Notes or Demons did

You won't get there with Hawking, throw him in the trash. Good choices otherwise though

what's wrong with Hawking?
Jackson Martin
Just another midwitted atheist who wasn't even that great in his own field (science/math) but was hopelessly retarded outside of it in anything approaching philosophy, but his disability helped establish him in the minds of normies as a "le science genius!!!1"

How's that postmodernism book? Sounds interesting
Ian Torres
haven't read the whole thing but I've read some of the essays in isolation (I was under the impression stack threads are for posting our reading queue). the best description i know of Jameson (that I agree with) is that he is trying to carry on the Modernist project and documents those new elements of postmodernism and how they mirror or distort their Modernist counterparts. The first essay of his that I read was Progress vs. Utopia which I spent a whole Spring studying in college. Very insightful and relevant and I still think back to it.
Dylan Lee
We needed soil for our plants (sadly we live in an apartment), so we went to a park in the middle of the night. All the secrecy was unnecessary, it just soil.
Bentley Richardson
How do you like The Technological Society? You're the only other person I've known to have it.
Gabriel Flores
I'm outta college homeboy.
Gavin Rogers
not him but did you like it? it seems like I might like it, but it seems like it would be easy to summarize as 'muh efficiency, muh productivity' which is insightful but im not sure i need to read the whole book to 'get it'

I’m glad you furthered the discussion in a meaningful manner by taking the context into account.
Can you even think without using memes, or has Yea Forums rotten your brain completely?
