This is a thread to talk about books.
Optional Prompt
Q: What are some of your favorite books and why?
My antique book collection:
Some of my favorites: Nancy Farmer The House of the Scorpion, Ayn Rand The Fountainhead, Sylvia Plath Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams
I love books. Some day I'm going to have my own library.
What did you like about The Fountainhead? I have it on my list of books to pick up.
The Fountainhead is great, imo better than Atlas Shrugs.
The Fountainhead explores the place art has in a society and the the tragic beauty of the artist.
So, if you're interested in artistry and its importance to a flourishing liberal society you'll likely enjoy it.
More books laying around the house, but the only one worth mentioning is Decline of the West by Oswald Spengler.
I lost a lot of my Russian lit after my last break up because it belonged to my ex's grandfather who was a Russian professor, mostly Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and Gogol. Currently letting a friend borrow Notes from the Underground because he's an alcoholic and I thought it'd be funny if he read it.
My occult and magik related texts are currently located by the house alter.
This one's for the Jews...
