Is that a vaping device?

>>12294287
it's a fountain pen, which is measurably more cringe

>>12294158
Huizinga, nice. Too bad historians these days don't combine their knowledge more with writing as he did. Been meaning to write some small semi-historic short story about him.

Honestly if a book doesn't have a big snake or crocodile or something eating folk in it, is it even worth reading?

It's getting sad seeing (and contributing) the same reposts to every stack and shelf thread

>>12295359
This is literally the second time I have posted this.

Thus Were Their Faces-Silvina Ocampo
The Call of Cthulu and Other Weird Stories-HP Lovecraft
Maldoror and Other Poems-Comte Lautreamont
The Story of the Eye-Georges Batailles

Already read some of the stories in the Lovecraft book I just got it since there was a better selection of the Wordsworth one I have.

>>12295361
And my second time seeing it, too

Nigga I don't even read fiction and I know who they are, you guys need to pay attention to the world around you. You haven't even seen Hellraiser

This is what I got for christmas. I'm already most of the way through the Reincarnation Blues and partly started on Breakfast of Champions.

>>12294797
that Earth record is dope. basically their output from Hex to present day has been consistently good

>>12297326
Just read what you enjoy. This is cringey beyond belief. There's a threshold and you passed it with this image. This is clearly just self wankery.

>>12297345
I understand if the guy is interested in learning but this picture just looks like he got a bunch of theory and philosophy recs from /lit/ without having any background knowledge, and is gonna try and teach himself.

Gentlemen, the worst opener in the world. By someone who makes millions writing.
>Renowned curator Jacques Saunière staggered through the vaulted archway of the museum's Grand Gallery. He lunged for the nearest painting he could see, a Caravaggio. Grabbing the gilded frame, the seventy-six-year-old man heaved the masterpiece toward himself until it tore from the wall and Saunière collapsed backward in a heap beneath the canvas.

There's about 20 things objectively wrong with this.

So you're a white nationalist/racist

You studying terrorism or IR, anon? Pretty rare to see anyone reading Hoffman outside of an academic context.

Finished top 2 last week, about to finish following 2 this week then moving down.

cool on the Lou Reed biography. You ever listen to any of the VU live bootlegs? They're incredible. Also, Please Kill Me by Legs McNeil has a great section on Lou Reed being an asshole

>>12297412
Some of those look cool but really, Carnegie's self-help bullshit? Only oblivious losers read self-help books because they need someone to tell them what's wrong with them, or to tell them the obvious. Be self-aware my guy.

>>12297448
Thanks, ill give it a listen for sure.

Well... Peterson is viral, depression sucks, Tolls has really good introspection on eastern enlightenment & the ego, also when people have caused me to lack my regular when when needing a job, Carnagie's book will come in handy...

Definitely recommend Concious Capitalism for anyone who's interested in ideologies as well.

>criticizing this much as a newfag
but looks like you got some goodies.

>>12297645
which ones do you like, anon?

>>12297700
uh, you could skip on the giver, rats of nimh, and blood of elves (haven't even head of this one). But who knows, maybe I'm just as newfag as you.

Not pictured: Corpus Hermeticum and The Occult Technology of Power.

>>12294067
I know you're not going to read all that Schopenahuer anon. Decent stack though

>>12294158
Nice. I've got that copy of the Enneads. 9/10 stack right here lads

Some good shit and some bad shit. Not sure what to make of this stack.

How is the Mammoth book of Celtic Myths and Legends. I've got in in the mail. Hoping its decent

>>12297605
Used stickers I don't want to bother removing, because I would need to buy a product in order to do so without removing parts of the spine.

>>12294067
excited to read these

>>12297794
have you read part 1 of that Jung? thats part2

>>12297749
>how was the mammoth book of celtic myths
if you've read any of the witcher books, you'll like it. there's a lot of "guy did this. he slept for a day and was ready for battle." it's not bad at all, I'm not trying to make it sound bad, either. It's definitely a break if you read a lot of authors who trail on and on with no punctuation, or write in prose.
>>12297784
oh no no I was being sarcastic, referencing "early greek philosophy" and "double used" together
>>12297720
>anime avatar
uh oh...
I've already read these, and I enjoy them.
Rats of nimh was based of the mouse utopia, and the giver was another book about a utopia that the main character doesn't want. I enjoy those types of concepts.

>>12297794
Dump Jung, read Lacan.

>>12297903
nope, it was my understanding aion was just one volume from a set of many. seems a good summary of his ideas. haven't read it yet.

>>12297973
why should i do that anon

>>12297973
dump Jung and Lacan, read Freud

>>12297998
why should i do that anon

>>12298004
because Jung is a new age sophist faggot

>>12294297
fuck you

>>12297998
Freud leads to Lacan though.

>>12297977
archetypes and the collective unconscious is part 1 of that volume - its either volume 6 or 9- im readin it right now. Not sure you need to read part 1 but its been great in my opinion. but i want to learn about the archetypes

Picked these up at a charity booksale last month.

>>12298017
thanks for the recommendation anon. i've read man and his symbols, gnostic jung, various campbell, and some of jung's students. i think i've covered those subjects well already. looking forward to jung's own words on the shadow.

>>12298031

Nice, I'm going to get M20C eventually, where should I start with Heidegger though?

>>12298880
I've been told to start with the Essence of Truth and Building, Dwelling, Thinking then reading whatever else you like but leaving Being and Time for last. I tried to read Being and Time a couple of months ago but I was too much of a brainlet then.

>>12297345
Wtf are you talking about anon? Some people genuinely enjoy nonfiction/learning as much as they can. Stop being an autist, develop a more robust theory of mind, and realize that this is a perfectly legitimste stack, and actually a pretty good one.

Personally I read textbooks, monographs, and anthologies for fun. Most academically inclined people do.

>>12298914
Alright, cool. I’m not sure if I’ll ever be ready to tackle Heidegger desu

Also, on Dec. 31st I'll make a stack thread for what I've actually read this year, so I can be judged on my actual merits instead of what is basically Consumerist Virtue Signalling: Snob edition.
