Anyone read anything good/interesting lately? 

[Moussey]

I'm trying to read China Mieville's stuff. I'm starting with The Scar and it's pretty good so far. 

[Pups_of_war_76]

Mieville is a cool dude

[Masha Potato]

[Masha Potato]

well, see, dostoyevsky makes me think "hey, you're full of ****, dostoyevsky"

that's not quite the same

i'm rereading malcolm x's autobiography.  i'd thumbed through it for a class a couple years ago so i'm picking up lots i missed out on.  one of those books everyone should read in their lifetime imo

[Pups_of_war_76]

got one of the barnes and noble classics editions with several of the great chinese texts bundled together. 

dao de jing

Analects

The Great Learning

The Art of War

Doctrine of the Mean

Mengzi

 

I have read some of these before, in other translations, but am excited to read the great learning and the doctrine of the mean, which I haven't

 

but I will admit that I got it largely because of how pretty it is.

I really like the Barnes and noble editions

I'm thinking about getting the BN edition of The Divine Comedy. I read it for a class and I actually enjoyed it a lot

[Pups_of_war_76]

I have a few.

 

The presentation varies from incredibly tacky

 

 

to really, really pretty. 

 

 

I think the cooler, violet color palette they want to associate with certain authors just doesn't work with the whole faux-leather, metallic-leaf binding scheme

 

 

stop it you can't make purple look good this way 

 

red works

 

 

 

blue works

 

 

 

 

 

leathern textures usually do not react well to secondary colors, stop attempting to use lurid purple shades

 

 

though this one also suffers from bad original art

[Masha Potato]

tag your porn

i left all my pretty books in commieland i'm so sad

[Pups_of_war_76]

I have heard that turks eat books so maybe it is for the best

but depressing

but great

[Pups_of_war_76]

there are no turks here!

[Radahldo]

Very evocative cover/binding

[Radahldo]
