I can't do paper books any more...but this I miss. I must have over $10k worth of books on my app...12 years, 1 or 2 books a week...

I count ten that I have in common. My fav out of those ten is the Vonnegut
newt13
very nice collection

Pixar and Ayn Rand on the same shelf is not something you see everyday.

Atlas? Is that you?

Oi!!! That jar…

I like the cut of your jib

Very eclectic collection

I’m easy, I see Douglas Adams and I upvote.

Came to say this
nickamont
But then I saw Ayn Rand. Now I'm conflicted.
rocketdonkey
Found it at the dump and decided to try and see what all the fuzz is about. I haven’t gotten around to reading it yet.
nickamont
I can respect that.

No Asterix , choose your own adventure or Tintin? You my friend have not lived
rocketdonkey
Comic books are in my sons room. Also my own collection of Tintin and old Donald ducks.

Is sharing our bookshelves a thing? Can it be a thing?
RandallKavanaugh
Bookshelf Friday? Bookshelf Sunday? What day of the week says books?
throwthisaccountinthetrashbin
Are some of them Danish?
rocketdonkey
Yup. Guess why.
Nizedk
So you're the one that's been stealing my Danish books!
kilgoth1
No worries. Having that amount of books can really only be a good thing.
rocketdonkey
Thanks man!
GraveYardShift
I see your Sartre, But where is your Camu?
rocketdonkey
Oh it’s there. A couple of Danish translations and a big English translation of The Plague, The Fall and Exile and the Kingdom
soulmercenary
Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged. 100 page novel stretched out to 1168 pages. Rational self interest can kiss my ass.
sweetandsmokey
I just googled it now. This seems crazy and now I want to read it to see how far this goes … basically:
sweetandsmokey
“Objectivism: a system of philosophy has 4 main principles: objective reality, absolute reason, individualism, and laissez-faire capitalism”
errantcompass
yeah. as someone who's read it and disliked it, having it on a shelf is the only way to prove to objectivists that your opinion is valid
errantcompass
its like knowing their secret handshake to get past their guard and then you can just whisper 'ayn rand subsisted off of welfare'
RandAIFlagg
My dad is a diehard objectivist and it's funny as shit I read it so I can point out how his heroes are the villains of his favorite story
RandAIFlagg
like pointing out "Trump is just Orren Boyle, not Midas Mulligan" got him legit off the Trump train
soulmercenary
Agreed. I don’t think you can assess it without reading it. But my god, that’s a lot of wasted reading time for that concept.
rocketdonkey
I found it at the dump and brought it home. Haven’t read it but I kinda wanna see what all the fuzz is about.
sweetandsmokey
I didn’t know this author until today and it got me curious…. However finding it at a dump is usually not a great sign.
soulmercenary
Found it at the dump. That’s classic. I suspect that’s where you would also find a book on Reganomics.
0belix999
Sartre and Bryson go together but Doglas Adams? And a light inside where it can't shine anywhere? The skull takes too much space too.
duckstop
Den Store Strid 1 og 2. Nice.
ARagingGreaseFire
What did you think of Ayn Rand?
rocketdonkey
Didn’t read it yet. Maybe never will. Found it at the dump.
Shaodyn
What's that thing under glass? Looks like a head.
rocketdonkey
Kinda

Is that the alternate timeline skull of Anakin when he dies in the pod race?

No they're just little wooden drawers. You can see a cable coming out of one, might be a charging station.
rocketdonkey
Correct

Sure, I bet they're actually pizza drawers,, slice in each drawer kept fresh my the charging station

No Calvin and Hobbes? The Far Side?

Only 1 Bill Bryson? You are missing out. But you get my upvote-solid collection. We could be friends.
949cuddlybaphomet949
Sapiens! Omg-I loved that book! I had to read it 2x to really get it-but I’m not that bright-haha
Itslibbytime
Bill Bryson!!! Hell yeah, which one @op? I can't make out the title. Short History of Everything is my fav book to give as a gift.
WhichOneIsPink25
My fav too
rocketdonkey
That’s the one!
yellowvega
Where’s the Steven King. By law I think you have to have at least 10% of your collection be Steven King.
rocketdonkey
I think there’s like 3 or something
DongleBelongsToDingus
3rd bookcase from the left, third shelf from the bottom

That’s not nearly enough.
Assortedmeats
As someone who looks at human skulls all day for work... That sure does look like a disarticulated skull. And I want one.
rocketdonkey
Hey. It is! Dug up from the ground in central Copenhagen. Someone suggested I do a whole post just on the skull.
Assortedmeats
I'd definitely love to know more about it! I wholeheartedly second that suggestion. Did you dig it up? How old is it? What's their name?
Alittledistantshiningstar
Thanks! Zoomed in, fine collection with much reading pleasure…BUT…..WTF is in that jar?
HoboTheSapient
Molerat skull with racing googles, you left weird wasteland on again.
DoctorScoutBobTotoBarkingtonIII
Looks like the skull of Jar Jar Binks

Remnants of the last guy to ask "WTF is in that jar."
glacialbae
But WTF was in the jar that time?!

Remnants of the SECOND to last guy to ask what was in the jar
Teledabby

I could be crazy but I think I see a jaw and teeth…
suckstoyourauntie
I thought so too...and maybe old-timey goggles on top. Also looks a bit like a blobfish.

Yes this curiosity must be sated

Looks like a deformed skull with old school goggles on top of head. those things at the bottom look like teeth of lower jaw. am i close?
Alittledistantshiningstar
I’m not sure I do but it seems plenty of others do…..piqued my interest for sure haha
nlmaya

rocketdonkey
Kinda long story. My dad dug up pieces of a skull from the ground in Copenhagen in 1950’s. Glued ‘em together. Inserted monocle and goggles
sweetandsmokey
… We demand a closer picture of the creation. Multiple angles if possible.
rocketdonkey
Should I do like a separate post about it?
