Nice, I've wanted to get that book for a long time.

Busta Nut · October 18, 2015, 09:20:42 PM

No fancy shelves, unfortunately. I've resorted to just stuffing and stacking them in my closet because there's nowhere else to put them. Add to that that many are pretty well-worn paperbacks, so I don't want to leave them where someone might damage them further.

I've got more than a hundred; eleven pictures (of varying quality because shit camera) in the spoilers below. Some books are missing due to shotty camera angles, but here's most:

I have a three-tiered bookshelf and have been steadily getting rid of more books (I don't reread much). I can remember these from the top of my head:

Genome
Genetics (Britannica edition)
The Dao of Physics
Science and Sanity
What Einstein Told His Cook
The Tempest
Hamlet
Othello
King Lear
Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe
The Once and Future King
Never Let Me Go (but it's on its way out, I like Ishiguro but I have more things to read which are relational to my interests)
Dinotopia (uh, the awesome picture-book story one)
Turn of The Screw
Melmoth the Wanderer
Sherlock Holmes
A Shirley Jackson anthology
Walden Pond
Bone: Eye of the Storm (I enjoyed the series immensely as a kid but it isn't necessary anymore)
The Delphi (something collection), they're an old collection of educational conversational topics for 1930s or 40s women. There's 16 or 17 volumes and I think I'm missing 11 and 13 iirc. I read them occasionally when I'm bored. I guess you could argue They're interesting towards thinking about comparisons in education.
I'm forgetting a lot also.
A Mid-level Japanese grammar textbook (I can't remember why I ever got it)
I also have a few class books:
Tsukiji: The Fish Market at the Center of the World
Branded Selves: Scripted Affects
An anthology of traditional Japanese literature
Two books on Japanese culture and Civilization
Since I've been using my iPod for free online books, my book collection has stayed about the same size for a few years.

Also noteworthy, I have an entire shelf devoted to drawing pads and notebooks. I have a lot.

Ender · October 18, 2015, 09:35:22 PM

I have more books but they're in my brothers room which is locked right now

I found a 5gb torrent a while back and probably wont finish this until after university. I have a bunch of other books lying around in folders as well. My real life collection is literally ASOIAF + a book on marine ecology.

Digital books are nice.

Literally all I own is A Song of of Ice and Fire.

I'm not much of a reader but I'm trying to expand my mind.

Have fun reading your books when you're on a trip, plane, on a camping trip, when you run out of money since you're all college poor fags.

Why wouldn't I be able to read a digital book in those situations?
