burn everything but proust, don quixote, and plato.

toss the morrison and mccarthy in the trash. the donquixote is a shit translation. rest are fine but the atwood would probably bore you.

>Canadian
>not being bilingual and reading Proust in glorious French
>>
>>7735396
You were fooled bro, they have sold you only 1 book of 7 of proust, and 1 of 2 of don quixote. That is why it was so cheap.
>>
>>7735396
1/10 if you've already read any of them and ought to know better
3/10 if you're new.
The Plato and Cervantes are bad translations, but readable I suppose.
Save Proust; the rest deserve to be tossed out.

From the past few months. Books are so much cheaper here in London compared to my eight-world shithole of a country, even taking into consideration exchange rates.

have you ever seen a norton edition friend? the complementary material is -fantastic- for expanding your insight and understanding of the work if you're interested.

1/10-3/10 snob reporting in.

All good editions, unless the OWC editions use the cheap wood pulp they imported from Indonesia. Keep them.
