Poor reputation. Their KJV is altered from the long-fixed KJV text, so KJV fans hate it; the NKJV was a money-grab with no serious purpose other than just to squeeze out a copyright from a clearly public domain text; and their Orthodox Study Bible is false advertising with regards to its OT, as attested by English-speaking Orthodox authorities.

Your bookshelf is painfully average. There is nothing that is not shilled in the mainstream. You don't have to read only esoteric and unknown of literature, but it is quite obvious you let others think for you.

And how would reading more obscure and lesser known books make him more of a free thinker? It’s still reading, it’s still following someone else’s thought process, the obscurity or popularity of a book makes no difference.

He doesn't know either. He fits well with Kant's idea about asocial sociability (ungesellige Geselligkeit) in his fourth proposition within the idea for a universal history with a cosmopolitan intent. He desperately wants to enter society, but distinguish himself from the others who he feels at constant tension. Without his aspersions cast at "anymouse" people he would find it difficult to exist. He is driven to critique by his desire to be distinct.

Any cheapo phone/laptop can do just as much as the high end iphones and macintosh flips. Cheapo black coffee is just as good as starbucks if you're not a sissy tranny faggot.
An argument traditionally (or any verbal communication) is received by the listening party with the subconscious understanding that the person sending out that argument believes in what he's saying. A person thoroughly entrenched in consumerism who says, "I hate consumerism", since he obviously likes consumerism, isn't trying to communicate "I hate consumerism", he's not abiding by what we might call Common Decency.
So when people post the swaggy peasant they're saying "you're not communicating sincerely, therefore we can have no dialogue" which isn't an argument but underlines that you yourself have not presented an argument.

>>19562487

I never asked either of those questions but you're not very smart so you have to make up arguments that somehow you even fail to knock down, despite being constructions of your feeble imagination. This is strictly about people pretending to be convicted to principles and absolutely failing to live them out, without even trying.

You have excellent taste in books, not all are to my liking, but some great stuff like that oxford Companion, the Basic Works of Aristotle, and the Histories.
You could use a little Eastern knowledge, not just The Remains of the Day, which is great in any case, but something like Saikaku, Tale of Genji, or something chinese like Su Shi the poet.

>>19568449
Thanks anon. I actually have stuff coming in today which are all introductory Eastern works.

Have read a lot more than just these titles. Think of it more as greatest hits. But have read most of most of the books pictured at least. Also have copies of Historia Discordia, Yoga Sutras, BotNS, and Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony but lent out to friend. A few glaring ommissions but not bad I think for a small collection.

That's not a shaker chair, that is, even being a modern piece it's not in the shaker style -which is much more severe. It's more reminiscent of a fan back windsor chair. (see Lockwood, Colonial Furniture in America, vol II, 3rd ed., p. 76, fig 530) If you really have an interest in antique furniture, I'd suggest you keep an eye on auctions, as 18th and early 19th century pieces can be found for well under $1,000 -often enough for just a few hundred.

>fallout: New Vegas sits atop "FLOSSIPHY" collection
internet pseud detected

>>19571837
My first guess was right; Philippine Peso

>>19569525
Which did you add? It’s a photograph of Diana Rigg.

>>19572225
If new vegas wasn't there, would you still bitch about it being a "flossiphy" collection? I've lurked for a couple years and it seems like all the shit /lit/ eats up

>>19571629
Magazines don't get enough love. I used to have a huge collection, mostly Vogue. Had to get rid of a ton of stuff last time I moved, though.

>>19572778
Why Vogue? Did you have any other subscriptions? For a few years, someone was getting Playboy sent to a house I was renting with some other dudes. We just used them as bathroom reading material.

>>19572793
I never had subscriptions, but I worked with someone who did and I would snag a lot of them after they were done. I bought a lot of other magazines at the store to read at work. I collected a lot of Vogue because I'm into fashion and photography.

I just picked it up last time I got books at Goodwill, it was 3 dollars for a hundred dollar frame.
I need some Wedgwood too
I'm going for a regency/victorian/Edwardian room. Carpet will be hardwood soon.

I need to align the frame a bit at the top right, trim out the ceiling, and rub out a French finish.

>>19572832
Subscriptions are the way to go, honestly. I never paid more than $15 a year for my National Geographic one.

>>19560107
It's like a shrine to mediocrity.

>>19571825
You're right, I agree,
It's what the 1957 Ethan Allen catalogue called it, "early American/shaker-style dining set and 6 chairs".

Shaker would be more simple, I have a few books on shaker style and how to make it.

I think early American refers to the stain.

>>19560310
It's like you bought your personality in a store. Moliere is upside down, by the way.

The end table is a late 19th century English reproduction of a Rembrandt piece that came out of an English Manor house in the Early 1970s. I worked for a high end designer/antique dealer in College. He gave me priceless antiques at Christmas and when he retired he gave me a few items with provenance cards.

Sadly, most of these things have little value today because people don't buy them anymore.

My chess set is also an old English manor house set.

Hey fungianon :D

Kinda essentializing (in a existential way). Sorta like those orientalist books that are like this is so different than western stuff whoa. But fun anyway. I am sympathetic to such with a pomo perspective anyhow

Yeah, I heard the bottom fell out in the early 2000s. Great for me tho', I'm 26 and hoping to buy a home in a year or two, being able to fill it with quality antiques for less than the cost poor modern stuff will be nice. Only nuisance is waiting for the right thing to turn up, and having to coördinate freight, repairs, upholstery, etc.

>>19574050
My wife complains sometimes about the old furniture. She has fallen for the "Lets paint all the wood white and have a modern look" trend. I like busted, old, varnished wood that's darkened with age and grime.

>>19572880
I fixed it!

>>19573928
It's an escape hatch.

>>19574090
A few new acquisitions. I picked five of these up for $0.59 a pound today.

>>19572885
Best $3.00 I ever spent. Came with a huge poster. I had it hanging in the bathroom before my wife yelled at me.

>>19572927

No, Clara HD.

wow a poor peasant compared to a modern day onions boy with the most latest and greatest.
if you ever want to be taken seriously and not just come across as a posturing faggot you need to actually put some effort in to at least try to be consistent with your ideology

>>19572330
Mostly authors and I also ordered some Mishima books that I have been wanting to get, you can set up some pretty good alerts on a Swedish second-hand site called Bokbörsen. This is only for swedes or at least Nordics.

Recomend me a good looking hardcover of Moby Dick pls. No flowery and colorful bullshit designs. Something sober.

>>19574791
I will get shit for this but I genuinely like the penguin clothbound edition

Faggot. Put that shit back up.

Between the green and red editions I have about 2/3 of the Harvard classics.

Their Plutarch is good, but the Chicago edition of worlds classics is more complete

Wouldn't take it personally. Why I have an ex wife now. Can't stand women.

I do like the Brittanica, but the text is biblically small.

Here's the bottom section of that particular shelf. I finally got around to tidying up last night. My books are still all out of sorts since the last time I moved. My other shelves are even less organized.

>>19574365

That's nothing, the panel is misaligned, I've planed and smoothed it out since. It doesn't fucking matter unless you're gonna drive a truck up on it. It's fucking solid walnut fastened with mechanical screws and glue.

I would like a bookshelf. But I don't have the money for books or for a shelf.

Dude you have unironically a golden collection, if you read at least 50% of those works you could be the most interesting person i ever meet, i wish i was you if it was the case

>>19560098
let me guess, not a fan of great britain

nice

Same shelf (shit), different books (day).
Seriously considering going all dewey decimal on my shelves... but i'm all ears for a different management system...

You can buy books on Amazon for one cent, and there's no shortage of thrift shops either.

>social reject thinks le hidden scriptures give him „the real stuff“ because he doesn’t appreciate the humble depth of Christianity

You’re not smarter than anyone else, the things you are looking for are in the everyday Christianity of your local parish, if you can appreciate that look into good mystics like Ramon Lull or St Hildegard of Bingen.

not separated editions of LOTR

Hi Everyone

Do y'all sell the books you read you don't like? I used to keep everything for the purpose of memory and library building but now its gotten to be too many and I find myself in a new state of mind where I only want all the things I love in life and nothing more

>>19581453
if it has value I'd sell it if possible, otherwise I just donate it to a secondhand store or put it in a bookcase in town where people can grab whatever they want.

you are underestimating the superior feel of reading e-ink versus computer and phone screens. they also have a battery life that lasts for months or days of heavy reading.

My thrift ladies save 5 Graham Greene first edition hardcover books for me, but they wanted 5 to 100 for each, I only like the quiet American

>>19581453
I give them away,I gave away the whole Raymond e Feist, Le modesitt hardback collections I had, some 40 books.

>>19560107
that copy of carlyle historical essays looks like it has a dust jacket. the copy i have was printed-on-demand. did you get it second hand or did you buy that years ago

>>19581858
5 to 10.00 dollars, I meant

>>19561402
how do you get the book you wante without f*cking everything up

>>19558931
Reposting because original quality was poor.

I am sharing only one bookcase. Top row is religious material, second row is stuff on wildlife, third row is largely weird fiction, and fourth row is just miscellaneous.

My other two bookcases are full of art books, wildlife photography, a few more nature books, children's books, picture books, and computer science manuals. I will share those other two shelves if anyone is interested.

>>19560098
what a nice book collection on failed manlets anon

Reposting because original quality was poor and shelves were a little bit disorganized. Last time I am reposting. Sorry about that.

I am sharing only one bookcase. Top row is religious material, second row is stuff on wildlife, third row is largely weird fiction, and fourth row is just miscellaneous.

My other two bookcases are full of art books, wildlife photography, nature books that were unable to fit, children's books, picture books, and computer science manuals. I will share those other two shelves if anyone is interested. They are much messier than this one.

The notebook on the end reminded me that I still have a huge collection of notebooks from high school that I wrote and drew in. I should shelve those sometime. Does anyone else hang on to old notebooks? Cool collection, though.
