How's your Everyman's Library collection coming along?
So far I've got
>The Divine Comedy
>Raymond Chandler: The Big Sleep, Farewell My Lovely, The High Window
>Dashiell Hammett: The Maltese Falcon, The Thin Man, Red Harvest
>William Shakespeare: Histories: Volume 2
>Beloved
>Gulliver's Travels
Think I'm gonna start getting the Tolstoys next.
How 'bout you?
I've got
Montaigne's Essays
andthat's it.
I'm not wealthy enough to buy much of these. Most of my books are cheap paperbacks bought used.

I have:
Ulysses
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
A Hero of Our Time
Demons

Wuthering Heights

>Think I'm gonna start getting the Tolstoys next.
The War and Peace box set is nice af. I already have most of his other stuff as paperbacks, so I don't plan on getting those.
I like these and plan to buy my books bound by them (if they offer it) from now on. So far I only have a few: Divine Conedy, Midnight's Children, and Samuel Beckett's Trilogy
If I were big on commodity fetishism and petty materialism, a Penguin collection would be much better for range, aesthetics, translations etc.

How's that Nabokov translation of Hero of Our Time?
>>7991405
Difficult to say because I've never read any other translations and can't speak Russian.
It was very enjoyable though. No problems or anything.
