I don't know why it's so blurry...

That's my collection from around 2 years. I used to just go to the library, but now I go to used bookstores and sometimes Barnes and Nobles.

Use flash, or a tripod, or something to keep the camera steady on.

What type of books are you all interested in?

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 04.08.2006 09:25 PM

I read a lot of older books "classics". I have no specific favorite.

nomadicfollower 04.08.2006 09:34 PM

I read alot of classics as well.
I really like Vonnegut and Dostoyevsky.
I've also trid to read Camus and Satre, but they fly over my head.

Camus are sartre are good. I reccomend reading their plays. Quite simple.

I have Sarte's No Exit, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I'm reading Catch-22 right now. It's pretty good.

No pics, but I am reading In Cold Blood-Truman Capote

nomadicfollower 04.08.2006 11:17 PM

Are Capote books good? I've heard of him, but never thought much of it..

I read Breakfast at Tiffany's before this, and thought it was good. In Cold Blood, is really great though. The movie, Capote, was also good. Hoffman rules.

nomadicfollower 04.08.2006 11:30 PM

Cool. I'll look for him next time I'm buying.

How far in are you? How do you like it?

Me? p. 207 and I think it is real good.

Bizarre thread, if I may say so. Here's some of mine:

 


Fiction is on the right side, my favourites are poetry (mainly 17th century poets), HP Lovecraft and Nicola Barker. The other two contain non-fiction, neatly sorted into sections. Best sections include local history stuff, 17th century history and transport history.
