These are my last two hauls. Had already read everything from the top stack but the Mingei and sumi-e books, and everything on the bottom but the bottom two. I'm trying to buy all the books I really liked but read as ebooks/through the library.
Right now I'm reading through the Handwriting Analysis book. Saw it months ago at Half Price Books but didn't buy it, thinking it'd just sit on my shelf as an amusing relic. But last week I read Script & Scribble, a history of handwriting, by the lady who also did the sentence diagramming book in the pic, which had a bit on handwriting analysis that got me interested. And, not unsurprisingly, the analysis book was still there.
Behold!
>>7851210
I hope you understand none of that is canon

did you like skylark as much as i do?
don't have a picture but just picked up the 1979 edition of Midnight - Mao Dun (Tun)
>>7851514
You are now aware that you live in a world, a terrifying world, where there are people right this moment who use terms such as "canon" and "cinematic universe" when talking about films and television shows.
A terrifying world where imagined characters on a screen are required, according to those who discuss them, to adhere to "ground rules" set out by the creators of said-characters. A terrifying world where those that discuss these characters and their actions, are actually enraged if said-characters deviate from the mannerisms expected of them, the mannerisms that may have initially been set in the pages of a comic book.
Think about that. A comic book. For children. Yes, pictures and words on the same page, which are meant to be read by children, that are actually read by adults who then bicker and express their frustration at film-adaptations of these comic books not being "faithful". Faithful to a comic book. That's supposed to be read by young children.
This is your world. This is the world of capeshit. Terrifying, isn't it?

How come no B&N stores seem to ever carry Kafka's The Castle? I've never seen one that did.
>>7852084
I've been in dozens of B&Ns and browsed multiple similar sections around similar time frames. The RL stores stock an extremely tight/narrow range of conventional fare, with little deviation except as the individual store's given space allows. A larger store has room to branch its inventory out to the stuff that is unknown to the most pleb among the population that actually read, but they don't "take chances" on little/weird/goofy stuff where a given store's actual on-hand inventory is concerned.
And of course, very obviously, if you want something in their supply chain, you can order it or else go across the internet to their competition and get it cheaper, I guess.

Start with Dub-liners. I also wouldn't read Ulysses until you've read portrait of the artist first. Rest of it is real quality stuff but, Infinite Jest is really overkill if you've never read Wallace before.
>>7847989
It is amazing that when /lit/ doesn't shut up for two days about a book, I should find it for a dollar.
>go to the register, and get a 50% discount for no reason
Cutest book in my collection. 50 cents. And I read the first couple of pages, it actually seems like a really sweet story.
>>7852596
NEVERMIND
I read the poem near the middle.
It fucking sucks, 50 cents was too much. Nevermind!
>>7852710
You fool, you've spent your money on rubbish!
Got these at Half Price Books earlier today. Was very excited to see the Utamaro, since I've been eyeing the whole series online (there's also Songs of the Garden, a Hiroshige one on fish and a Sekka one on butterflies) but I wasn't really sure how the whole fold-out-like-a-scroll book was actually going to work. It's pretty neat, like an accordion.
>>7851568
Probably, but I liked Kornel Esti even better, and thought Anna Edes was more tragic. But I love all three enough to think of Kosztolanyi as one of my favorite authors. Really need to get ahold of the Nero one.
First book I'm going to read in about 10 years.
good choice?
>>7852596
I'd be embarrassed to own those books.

>>7853859
I'd only read Jude the Obscure. It's kind of like tragedy porn, there's no end to the depressing events, horrific situations (I had to put the book down for one certain part, and just walk for a bit), shit life choices. Hoping Tess is along the same vein.

i'm not sure if you are being sarcastic
but yes I am new to enjoying literature. I used to see it as a chore, and never as entertainment. A month or so that changed.
What should I buy. O'Connor's novels or complete stories?
>>7854127
I bought complete stories and wise blood recently. Read wise blood and it was amazing. I've only read a few of her short stories but they were fantastic as well. You can't go wrong either way.

All three? I've been wanting to read Donna Tartt for months. I thought those Stieg Larsson books were /lit/ approved; I heard my English professor talk about em once. My friend got me the first book and I'm too autistic to read it before I have the other books in the series.
The Wallflower one... yeah a lil bit. ... >>7852710
>>7855127
come on man
>tfw shit camera
Anyway, the ones whitened out are Doris Lessing's Martha Quest, Dickens' David Copperfield (Penguin Popular Classics), Theodor Dreiser's Sister Carrie, and Rebecca West's Black & Grey Falcon.
The old stuff on the right is Georg Brandes' Goethe-biography.

He's published in translation by NYRB Classics and New Directions, who are pretty popular literary fiction publishers in the US. It's probably due to exposure through them.
>>7849313

>>7857283
I swear I'll post dickpics, shutup.
Just bought:
Christopher Isherwood - A Single Man
Henri Michaux - Selected Works
Really excited to read Michaux, found one of his poems searching through a poetry archive from 1945 and adored it. Hope the English translation isn't too bad.
A Single Man I have already read and it just makes me so emotional

if you're looking to get into Old English further, I'd highly recommend:
Old English Poetry: An Anthology (put out by Broadview)
The Cambridge Old English Reader
A Gentle Introduction to Old English (Broadview as well)
Liuzza's translation of Beowulf
(you can avoid Tolkien and Heaney)
R8 or H8
>>7851911
finally someone is reading Lyotard
>>7862655
Thanks for the recommendations, although I already avoid Tolkien.
Regarding Beowulf, why Liuzza's translation? I used Heaney the first time around because it was in the course syllabus and I can see how, as a poet, he occasionally strays far from the OE and opts for a paraphrase, if you know what I mean. To compare, I also have Craig Williamson who places more weight on a more 'literal' translation of kennings, for example. Here, Heorot and the proleptic: 'the hall towered / its gables wide and high and awaiting / a barbarous burning. That doom abided / but in time it would come...' that people often quote Heany's Beowulf for becomes 'the raftered hall / high, horn-gabled, was doomed to wait / for battle-flames, the fierce sword-hate...'.
What's special about Liuzza's translation?
>>7852596
>and get a 50% discount for no reason
>for no reason
being complete shit might be the possible reason here
>>7863916
a more literal translation kennings and compounds in general*
