I despise newfags who doesn't have anything of value to say and instead try to fit in by calling someone else reddit. "Reddit tier" is just anon saying "I want to fit in and other people here seems to think your taste is bad so I'll jump on the bandwagon while not actually having my own opinion about why your taste is bad!!"

Not defending OP though. Your collection isn't really impressive. Can't say my bookshelf looks any better though. Most of my books are on my ereader.

Anyone with a valuable opinion on /lit/ migrated to /his/. Prove me wrong.

Not really difficult once you get over the initial weirdness of the situations, other than the intentional awkwardness and illease. I'm surprised it doesn't usually get mentioned compared to ishiguro's other stuff, it's really good.

it was one of the best russian novels ever created, the author is a mind unpolished, yet clearly a diamond lost in the annals of time or some shit. great stuff.
>>7419753
dunno what you mean by wordsworth (if you mean publisher, i really don't think i have that many, but publishers mean little to me)
and don't you fucking dare insult constance garnett, she is a fucking saint without whom you would never even know half of the russian authors you know to this day. you fucking tart. also, i find she captures the heart in her work. something that you volokhonsky and peveartards can't even seem to get through your thick skulls. sorry, i don't feel that a person with a limited knowledge of english along with a person with a limited understanding of russian makes a worthwhile translation. i'm sorry that you've allowed someone else to make up your mind for you, i do hope that some day you will read and make up your own mind, and accept when others don't make the same.

For the Philosophy books, read the history, then buy a few other books by Plato (get Euthyphro, Apology, and Republic if you're not reading all his works) then save Neitzsche till later in your philosophy train.

For the others just read whichever you feel like.
>>
>>7420067
Misread your last book. Get the Story of Philosophy by Bryan Maggee, then read the First Philosophers, then Plato etc
>>
>>7420067
>>7420076

I finished a minor in the history of Philosophy. I read the Republic and Apology during my studies and had to write essays on them. The Symposium we discussed in class briefly but sparked my interest.

I am planning to first read the first philosophers and mythology followed by recapping Plato's works.
>>
>>7420082
We did discuss pre-socratic philosophers but feel like we moved on too quickly.
>>
>>7420082
Fair enough then. You should be fine for Neitzsche then if you've already got a bit of experience. Is the First Philosophers book the Oxford one? I read that version and it was great.

Most of those meme books were purchased and read before /lit/ existed, I fully admit to most of what I've read being pleb as fuck though.

We've got the same edition of Petersburg, I enjoyed how a lot of the book reminded me of Crime and Punishment in some parts, but with more of an experimentalism edge towards things. I kept laughing at some of the ridiculous stuff the main character did at points throughout the novel.

Also do you hate the spine as much as I do? Pushkin Press do a nice edition just that the spine has worn out on one reading already.

It's a shame though since I like how sturdy and well put together Pushkin Press's other books are but their Petersburg treatment is pretty horrid, not completely awful but still I expected better from them.

Huh, I actually discovered Bely through Nabokov too.

yep. did you ever read gogol's portrait? i think its his secret magnum opus, all about art and temptation and mystery and pure evil. much better than dead souls.

Yes, it's genuinely good despite its treatment around here. If you haven't read anything by him before, it can be intimidating. I generally recommend maybe some short stories or essays first.

It's The Loop but I haven't read it. Mathematics: (A Novel) was spectacular to read in grad school. He has a really interesting story and philosophy of mathematics. If you dig the bourbaki and the oulipo, it's even better.

if you like spanish picaresques, then definitely, the first and second halves were both anonymous and definitely different writers. but yeah. definitely a fun read, really short. if you end up liking that you'll probably enjoy don quixote and gil blas and etc.

I see you're familiar with most major, German publishers, wouldn't you agree that Anaconda books are by far the shittiest, even though they're fairly cheap hardbacks? I've an Anaconda Stefan Zweig and a Nietzsche collection, both have glaring punctuation and spelling errors like commas in the middle of words and words with clearly misplaced letters, and I was gifted the same Kafka as yours, but I especially wouldn't entrust Anaconda with that and I went out and bought the Fischer version because those guys I trust.
