Bookshop thread?
Pic is inside my favourite one, Voltaire and Rousseau in Glasgow. Christ, I could walk in to that place and spend all my money.
Mine was deastore.com, closed down two years ago. Free int. Shipping and books in german/italian/english and spanish. Catalogue was insanely big.

Looks terrible. How are you supposed to get to the shelves if all those stacks are in the way? Also looks like a fire hazard.

/pol/ and /r9k/ self-identified redpilled conservative white male here:
Are you Jewish?
Are you under company policy to only publish female SJW writers who are trying to subvert Western civilization through degeneracy and the propagation and valorization of interracial relationships?
Do you hate white heterosexual male writers of the conservative bend?

I bet in real life Nietzsche was autistic in the exact same way that Michio Kaku is autistic and freaks out every time Jim Norton says hello to him in the elevator.
>Hey, Herr Nietzsche, good morn--
>A-ahh!! Oh, you startled me. I'm dynamite.

I enjoy the Kaufmann translations as well, except for Zarathustra. I like the Thomas Common version desu
I found a near complete set of this series in a local charity shop. Which ones are good? Does the series become terrible at any point? I got the first three, is it worth getting any others?
First three, last two. Everything else in between is a character study without significant impact on central plot. That being said, I enjoyed them all and kept on reading through. If you want to keep reading them, do, and if not, don't.

This cover is so nostalgic for some reason

I've discovered Borges only recently but wow...earth shattering it was. Been on Abebooks these past few months buying first editions of everything he's written. Damn near fortune but the cover for dream tigers and Ficciones are wonderful.
I love him, too. But not in the necrophiliac kind of way.
