This + the Plato I haven't read yet is my summer reading list.

Forgot to mention I've already read Confederacy but plan on rereading it because I feel like I'm at a point in my life where I'll get way more out of it than I did when I first read it at 18.

Find me one of these books for under 5$

The Hero with a Thousand Faces is good as an introduction to archetype theory and to comparative mythology, but folklorists and cultural anthropologists dismiss it as nonsense because they think Campbell generalizes the characteristics of hero-type characters using a very limited frame of reference and omits all mention of stories that don't fit in with his "hero's journey" model. They don't like him for the same reason historians don't like Spengler or any other writer who promotes a great narrative theory.
Just sayin'...

Bump

Campbell is more insightful than people give him credit for though to be fair, he was friend with Eliade and coauthored the Skeleton's Key to Finnegans Wake

Irrelevant, you should destroy your books as you read them. This was printed in China in the 80s, and in mint condition before I got my hands on it.

I bought all the books in the greek sticky to read this summer, I hope it's not a meme

>Cooper LOAs for under $4
fucking basedd

Absolutely retarded

>purchasing any literature ever
You do know text files take up almost zero space right?

Cuck

so does your brain

Don't you want to save money?

I saw that exact keats + shelley for a dollar at a used book store the other week. Got Spenser's poetry instead.

Saving money is great, but physical copies are much better for several reasons.

no, I want to spend my money on things I enjoy

Such as?

Can't name a source but it was originally supposed to be a short story but the publisher forced to make it longer or sth.

That's fair

Aside from avoiding any technical difficulties (battery, glitches, lockout, lack of internet if not downloaded, etc.), greater focus, easily handing copies down, you get the point.

Too much of a lazy cunt for a picture but I got the first two books in the Miss Peregrine series.
Does Yea Forums still not like YA books? I read the first one and remembered liking it but I forgot why, so what the hell.

recently upgraded from an old Kindle Touch to a Kobo Libra 2. Love it so far. Currently reading Norwegian Wood, LOTR:FOTR, and Programmed to Kill. Enjoying all three very much.

Maybe I found it for 3.50 at a used book store but that doesn't mean its not going to increase in value. I would say out of all of them it would be the least valuable. used bookstores arent going to sell books at their actual value. Have you seen that 1901 Spinoza for less than 15$? I paid 5$

Why

Not that user, but anything produced during the era of mass production will not rise in value. And by value, I mean anything more than an hour or two for those working an hourly wage.

I think you have a misconception of how antique items are valued. Things don't simply get more valuable with age, even if they are in pristine condition. There needs to be a demand for them, and nobody is going to value a modern library hardcover from the 60s much over a Penguin Classics paperback from the 2020s. Not in 2022 and not in 2062. First printings, inscribed copies (particularly if the author rarely inscribes), and limited editions (Folio, Easton, etc) are the most likely to increase in value, but it isn't a guarantee. Not to dissuade you from collecting books like that, I perfer books from the 60s or earlier in good condition to new books myself, but I don't anticipate most of them to appreciate.

Oedipus rex is really good

I've been meaning to buy that edition of Decline for awhile now. I have the abridged oxford copy

Libtard starter kit

Hyper zoomer detected

Screens are for faggots and I only use the computer to buy books, communicate with my friends and make fun of tards like you on Yea Forums.

Anything that isn't a primary source is kind of gay. I don't understand why the library of mythology (can't remember the name of the author, but he's an ancient greek) isn't there.

the store didn't have don quixote

Because Apollodoros is kinda boring to read. The Bibliotheca is a very dry work even in the original.

Got this off amazon used books. It was like two dollars plus the shipping. I guess you get what you pay for.

ngmi

I understand I didn't buy those because I expected them to triple in price but I can read these and expect them to still be worth more than I bought them for. For new collectors they would be a great edition for 10 to 15 dollars if they are close to a hundred years old

Bought this signed easton for a hundred today though. I really wanted the tiger! tiger! first edition but they wanted 835$
