singer songwriter jack johnson was inspired to write "banana pancakes" after devouring pynchon's opus, gravity's rainbow. he is actually a big lit buff. while he asserts that GR is incontrovertibly pynchon's "best" for artistic scope and import, he prefers the indelible human heartache and wide eyed wonder of M&D.

I'm the so-called bookshelf bending under the tremendous weight of paperbacks. A Strange Aeon posted:People who own the Watchmen and the Sandman but not Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run confuse me. Alan Moore's Swamp Thing books are often sold out. Watchmen probably hasn't been out of print at any point since the nineties.

Jerry Cotton posted:I'm the so-called bookshelf bending under the tremendous weight of paperbacks. That crappy one on the left is probably 30 years old, made out of particle board, and lived most of it's life massively overloaded with 2 rows of books plus as many as would fit on top of those rows. It's permanently bent now. I'd replace it with another one like the rest, but they are wider and won't fit in that spot due to the door being right there.

Philthy posted:He has at least one STEPHEN KING book. I have many. King/classics:   The version of the Divine Comedy that I have I think is from B&N, but it has the illustrations by Gustav Dore, which are amazing, and the Dracula version has illustrations by Gorey, which are also great. Military/History (most of these are from my wife's grandfather):

Applewhite posted:The Zelda art book is surprisingly popular. Yeah. In my case, it was a surprise Christmas gift from my wife--I knew everything else I was getting, she just wanted to surprise me. I wish she hadn't, as I'd stopped enjoying the Zelda games after twilight princess. Like 2/3rds of the book is dedicated to the one designed for Wii.

Stephen King is the Woody Allen of fiction. If you write 300 books statistically a few of them will be good.

Well, the organization of my shelf is atrocious, and i'm not a huge reader, especially when it comes to fiction, but here it goes. Top shelf, among others most of my required university books are here. The book about Genetics could be one but was actually a gift.   Middle shelf, bit of a mix.  Bottom shelf, also pretty mixed.  I also have some books in a box that don't fit my small shelf that i don't have to retread as much. Others are lying around somewhere or in my backpack. And cook books i keep in the kitchen.
