Hey could be, I don't have my Dune copy on me, but I'm fairly certain it's the same edition as his, and I don't recall the print being notably large.

It's all Young Adult lit. I read some of those as a teenager and I have to say even though they're marketed towards girls they're perfectly readable.

But that's obviously not his collection unless he's transgender or something.

What's /lit/ think of my children's lit shelf so far?

I just ordered a Pooh set and a complete Narnia one. I've been trying to find more of the ones I read as a kid, but hardcovers/board books seem so much more expensive now. I know my parents wouldn't have paid $10 new for stuff like Frog and Toad.

It's good. But I really should've just got the 6 volumes instead of the fuckhuge 2 tomes. That's probably what I'll do.

>>7933780
I loved those. My copy of a few of those were got from Scholastic book fairs, like Artemis Fowl, the Moorchild, Edward Eager, Wrinkle in Time. I used to have a lot more, but only a few traveled with me away from home, and so, only a few are still around.

>>7933679
They're in boxes still. They take up too much shelf space, and I'm limited right now. I remember liking the film better, because it was more fantastic--who Howl really is in the novel is too mundane and brought me out of the setting.

Sadly, To The Lighthouse is one of my favorite books, so I'm unwilling to part with it. The absence of a universal narrator in the book (except for during a brief interlude), complements the modernist themes of the book and is aesthetically pleasing af.

>>7932388
Sorry to disappoint, just an undergrad. Algebraic geometry is my favorite area of math - but I took just the first of a three part grad class offered at my school, so I've only read the first 3 chapters of Hartshorne. It's a really hard book. I find that Ravi Vakil's notes on algebraic geometry are just as comprehensive and offer a lot more intuition about schemes right away. How are you liking econ?

>>7932631
Thanks, it's given me a good sense of different literary and cultural movements. Law actually helped a surprising amount with that. Reading Milton right now. I'm currently trying to figure out what to do after I graduate college. Any advice for ways to support a generalist lifestyle? Would be fine taking odd, short-term jobs.

All you plebs don't know what a shelf of books really could be... Tomorrow Lit Will SEE A HUGE PERSONAL collection of literature ranging from history to science fiction, from Greek to french.
