/lit/ - Literature

Man, if only I had a good camera. I have a decent amount of both literature and manga (not like what's in OP's picture, however).

You should be ashamed of yourself.

>>1090912
You seem well-educated and sophisticated.

>>1090928
That's because you're 12 years old

>mostly Sgt. Frog manga

Needs moar Magic Knight Rayearth, Doctor Who novels, Sideways Stories from Wayside School, and the John Darnielle 33 1/3 volume, and I'll approve

>>1090912

>No literature

>>1090932
I think I have the first volume of Magic Knight Rayearth somewhere, and the first volume of Dragon Ball

You are terrible, and you should feel terrible.

>comics/manga included

Go fuck yourself. You have a book collection, and you have a manga & comics collection. Two entirely separate things.

>>1090950
>>sees 20th century boys
>Okay. I'll accept that.
I won't because it's pulpy trash

You own seven books OP.

I have 16 on this desk.

Know why?

My bookshelves are full.

So where are the books?
>sees 20th century boys
Okay. I'll accept that.

Other than that series (and series by the same author, notably Monster), I only like a few other manga series (Negima, RK, lucifer and biscuit hammer, mirai nikki) . I truly prefer literature

No pictures here, but I have somewhere in the range of 800 books, 50 graphic novels, 20 manga volumes (Akira, X, Lone Wolf and Cub), and seven long boxes full of comics.

>>1090956
cool story bro, come back when you have some pics.

>>1090950
>Negima, RK, lucifer and biscuit hammer, mirai nikki
Wait, you really read this crap, lol

Well, these are probably the clearest pictures my camera has ever taken. Had to paste them all together, but most of what I have is there. Except for all the cat who books, which i hide on the bottom shelf, in shame. If only you'd said video games as well.

>>1090963
That domo can

>>1090954
I said "I'll accept it", not "we'll". I don't care about you, just me.

fuck you sriq

>>1090963
>Chobits
HA!

I have it too

MINE

>>1091015
uh, why the hell do you have the MCAT and GRE study guides? props for gray's anatomy, ghost in the shell, GEB.. less props for the anthem and atlas shrugged.

>>1091015
How is that series "Flight"? I've seen it at a local bookstore, and having only read Watchmen and V For Vendetta as graphic novels, was wondering if it was any good/should I check it out.

(Or is it manga? Not sure.)

>>1090947
Those are the Haruhi light novels.

>>1091033
I have a GRE book because I'm now in grad school I have an MCAT book because I was studying alongside a friend for shits and giggles.

And Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged are still enjoyable books, hence I have them. I've got plenty of objectionable material by /lit/'s retarded standards.

>>1091059
Very light on writing (many of the short stories are without dialogue) but it is a fantastic series. I have really enjoyed all of the books and some of the particular stories that span several books are truly excellent.

If you are interested in a series with good writing I'd go with Sandman, or if you want something off the beaten path try Queen & Country.

This is about half. The rest being in bag in my parents attic till i get more shelves. I think its pretty obvious what gender I am

>>1091090
>Eragon

>>1091093

Out of all my shitty books thats what you focus on?

>>1091090
I find your lack of Gaiman disturbing

>>1091090
Fuck yeah Godspeaker trilogy

Squinting to my make out book titles, and even then often unable to, makes me a sad panda.

>>1091064
ah, alright. i've read atlas shrugged before, it's not that bad for fiction but the philosophy is mildly disturbing. i took the GRE last year, kinda' wish i had a study book because some of the math problems threw me for a curve but i still scored pretty well on it. way easier than the MCAT, it only took a few hours.. i've been told that the MCAT is like 8-10 hours long and you have to take it more or less in one shot. fuck that

>>1091015


Holy shit Everworld. I have the complete set too. I was young when i read it and my puny mind couldnt keep it all straight in my head.

>>1091146
MCAT is *only* 7 hours long now. I just helped my friend study which was fun enough but my masochism drew the line at actually sitting through the exam.

I did really well on the GRE but bombed the writing which has kinda left me nervous about all the writing my grad program entails.

>>1091156
Frankly I don't think I've seen the word Everworld without "fuck yeah" or "holy shit" in the same sentence. Yes it is badass series and I really need to reread it. I also got the soundtrack to it when they were giving it away.

I was bored so i figured what the hell, the shelves are rearranged to make taking the picture easier. The japanese ones are the first book of haruhi, spice and wolf, shakugan no shana and Kure-nai; in case they can't be read. I have everything that has been released for each of them but was too lazy to take another pic of my manga bookshelf, and looking back i missed a couple LN one-shots but whatever.

I'm slowly working on a real lit collection but it takes so long ;_;

>>1091205
I see Warhammer.

Old pic, but my camera is currently being borrowed.

I'd love to tell you, but.. christ, it's too many genres, types and authors to even attempt to tell.... sorry... A lot of modernism, though. I like Mark Twain alot, though.

>>1091172
i actually found the writing to be the easiest section. i'm a physics major, and i think i scored in a higher percentile for writing than math. the reading comprehension part was my weakest. but, whatever - i'm in grad school so who gives a fuck. more importantly, is snatch any good? i've tried to watch it but the accents are pretty rough.

seeing as my bookshelves go back 3 rows deep I just laid them out on my bed. Which was ideal really so as to know how much bookshelf to buy in future.

but meh; judge as you may

>>1090912
>Brave Story
Fuck yeah.

>>1091205
OP here, good to know I'm not the only one that bought and read/ing Brave Story.

>>1090912
>Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

I've posted before. I love my shelves.

(1/2)

>>1091323
And part two, with the respectable books.

Obv I have more books in other places. I have a penchant for box-sets, so they're all on my bedhead (which has shelves.)

If you don't have Ulysses on your shelf with a big fucking crack down the spine you're a FAGGOT.

>>1091331
I loaned mine to my grandmother for her reading group.

I'm not even kidding.

>>1091326

>>1091343
Australian, yep.

>>1091353
Not taking psych, sorry. Arts/Edu.

>>1091354
Was it my knick-knacks that gave it away? :)
Yeahhh. I fairly obviously read some absolutely trashy girl-novels.
I really do read a broad range of genres, up to and including vampire YA novels.

It might not look like it, but there's about 300 here and I've got another 200 or so in the shed (just moved, haven't unpacked everything yet). I haven't really actively pursued reading though so it's mostly entry-level stuff.

>>1091238
You're pretty cool. Of course, I base this assessment entirely on the fact that there is considerably overlap between our respective shelves.

>>1091205
Hoe was The Child Thief?

Hoe is innocent!

>>1091436
He probably meant how, but I loled nonetheless

>>1091417
cheers bro;
which shelf is you?

>>1091445
I haven't posted it here.

Ian Irvine guy detected

>>1091602
Is Irvine any good? I have received a first book of a series by him and I have been putting down reading it for a long time.

You can tell that only idiots post in these show-off threads because all the books are garbage

>>1090963
>>1090963

^5 for Good Omens

We should make a 'post pictures of your garbage' thread so all the cool kids can post pics of their good books

>>1091608

He's good at worldbuilding and memorable characters, as well as presenting ideas you never really come across in fantasy - eugenics, racism, police state surveillance, resource depletion. He's NOT so good at prose - and occasionally you come across paragraphs that would have got the whole book thrown on the slush pile had they been on page one.

There are three 'separate' Three Worlds series, but they best make sense read from earliest to latest. The whole thing is one epic family drama intermeshed with with phoney war conspiracies across parallel worlds

>>1090912
How is Brave Story? Is it a YA novel or what? I can't find enough information about it to judge whether I'd be interested in it or not.
