ITT: Book Collections
hey /lit/, don't think I've ever seen a thread like this before and I think you guys would have fun with it.
my uni is hosting a contest for book collecting next year with a cash prize hopefully large enough to justify the creation of a collection in the first place, but my current bookcase is pretty random, basically just /lit/core and similar. I'm willing to lay down a good amount of money to start a collection from scratch, but am also pretty scarce on ideas (was considering doing one about the infrarealists, Bolano's OG poetry group), so post premises for (or content of) a book collection you'd like to have given time/resources, shit on anons spheres of interest, you know the deal

I collect anything I can get my hands on. My area has a place that without fail, every weekend, exclusively sells 1 dollar books, no matter the subject or text
that's how I got copies of Pynchon, Bolano, Plato, Woolf, to more obscure shit like Juan Goytisolo
in particular I focus on collecting surrealist and modernist novels.
Lately i've been grabbing up and really interested in Christian theology. Anselm, Augustine, etc. Of course I've got the more popular guys and am yet to snag the more rare ones
