>>

What the hell type of thrift store is this? Where are the masses of Stephen King and Danielle Steel paperbacks? Why aren't those classics cheap worn out Wordsworth editions of something?
>>
i dont recognize all the names, around 60%, and every single one i do recognize is solidi and worth reading. this leads me to believe this publisher has good taste and the rest are probably worth reading as well.

It's a charity thrift store here in the Basque Country , there is a lot of good stuff but a lot of rubbish too. I visit it regularly and i always find stuff worth reading. I guess thats the only good part of living in a country where people dont read.

Behind me was a guy buying like 8 books of the Sword of the truth series, and three copies of Pillars of the earth for some reason.

>>8105423

>Monoglot

English is actually my fourth language.

I will probably read those in english someday but i dont have enough money to buy all the books i want in the lenguages in want, and personally, fine with translations
>>
>>8105454
>English is actually my fourth language.
forth chronologically or do you mean that you learned a second language and then studied a third language in that second language and then studied a forth language in the third language?
>>
>>8105454
is basque country worthy of a vacation? My wife went in the mid 90s and said it was a shithole with some culture in the cracks
>>
>>8105464
>having a wife and posting on /lit/
god, i wouldn't want that even in my worst dreams
>>
>>8105459
I grew up learning Basque, Spanish and Portuguese, and then in my teens i started learning english by myself.

So i guess, it's my fourth cronologically and the one that im less comfortable with.
>>
>>8105407
>says this in English
>>
>>8105214
ya que eres español, pilla a Unamuno, Ortega y Gasset y Valle-inclán ipso facto. Rulfo no lo he leído, pero se supone que es bueno.
>>8105262
de aquí a Asturias y Baroja.

The situation is completely different now than it was in the 90s, it's a great destination for vacations I think, specially the part of San Sebastian or Bermeo. If you ever come here dont forget to visit Gaztelugatxe or the Birth of nervion river.

Also is a great destination if you enjoy hiking, i took pic related last week

Seguire tu consejo, gracias ;)

Came with the room anything worth keeping in here?
I liked redwall and shit so i might give that to my son. I read old man and the sea at community service to some blind people. I read huck finn my 2nd grade summer because my mom got it for me. I don't give a shit about cats, or jew stuff, and I've seen the movie about the vampires. I liked zane grey when adapted to movies, these look like they're going to be a far cry though.
Thoughts?
>>
>>8106907
Brian Jacques was okay as young teen.
your son might like that
>>
>>8106907
Everything in there is pretty much readable.
>>
>>8106907
twain and hemingway
>>
>>8105214
>>8105262
All these books for 23 Euros? Buy all of them, then use the summer to read as much as you can!
>>
>>8105495
do not lie

local people are anti-foreigner and beat them up

Una pena que en Asturias todas las librerías de segunda mano sólo tengan productos encarecidos artificialmente.

No wonder they're so cheap, they're all in fucking Spanish. Don't do it mate, it's a scam. You'll get them home and not be able to read them.

ALSO

>Fucking english monolanguage speaking faggots giving a person that speaks four languages any sort of shit

Everyone knows that most of the books are alright to read translated unless its poetry. Sure if you want to go deeper read it in the original language but dont be a fucking condescending faggot when most of the people ITT cant speak more than 2 languages
>>
Copp dat Mario Puzo cabron.

>>8106907
Hemingway and Twain. Literally throw away the rest.
>>
>>8105464
>My wife went in the mid 90s and said it was a shithole with some culture in the cracks

How does it feel to be married to an uncultured and uneducated ape??
>>
>>8105214
Pick up the whole set, that's an awesome deal.
>>
Translation memes aside, please avoid reading Lolita outside of english.
>>
>>8111689
The translation of lolita is great, at least in spanish
>>
>>8105474
You'll be coming here the rest of your life, frequently or infrequently. Might as well have a wife in the meantime.
