My Ishmael isn't as good as Ishmael, but worth a read. While Ishmael is an introduction to the ideas, and a critique of human society by an "anthropologist from mars", My Ishmael delves more into specific ideas like schooling. I have read most of Story of B, but lost interest. The focus is on an actual story rather than the ideas.

Providence is self indulgent bullshit, though. It didn't provide insight into any of Quinns ideas or even really his other books. Its just Quinn fellating himself for being one with nature.

Top shelf: Christianity and Psychology
Middle shelf: Memes and Continentals
Bottom: Classics
Stacked behind: Plato CW, more Greeks and Jung, Aztec/Hawaiian Mythology, etc.

Lots of other books around, but these are the ones close at hand. Nonfic is best fic, it's the story of real life. Not looking for approval and pls no bully, but if you have a question about a book ask it. Most of the top shelf has been around the world with me 8+ years. The lower shelves just the past year.

Snakes was very interesting on account of how much your language can change how you think.

It lightens up the room. I used to have a dark one, and the difference is actually pretty noticeable.

It can be pretty entertaining.
Ghost stories are pretty good for example.

Thanks!
Most are from the Mid 1800's. some of my oldest are from the 1750's, and I have one from 1670. I inherited most of them, but have recently started buying my own. I tend to read the digital copies when I can, as I don't want to destroy them. A shelf not pictured has some beat up copies of shakespeare form the late 1700's. Really beaten to shit, so not super æsthetic, but worth the literary value.

Do you have any good local bookstores? Some of the good old school ones have decent supplies of antique books. They're not that expensive to get into.

No. What I have here is just your basic commercial bookstore that supplies YA and cookbooks.
