I believe they were both married men, kiddy poster.
Kissinger is still alive homosexual
And married to his second wife in 1974, yes.
Were you even born then? Why do you know this? Are you a Kissinger fan or a State Dept. wonk? (I'm not sure which is worse)
He is?
If short stories count then Robert E Howard. If you mean full-length novels then Laura Wilder.
>Conan
>Little House on the Prairie
[confused]
They're both about self-determined individuals.
Jrr tolkein, herman melville, cormac McCarthy
I have Tolstoy's collected works including his diaries
Asimov or King
Are the Letters to the Czars included?
He's not actually my favorite tho
>macMillan
>lewis
>tolkien
Beautiful.
Do you open and read all those versions of LOTR, or are they just for collection?
I've read the main 5 and I'm planning on continuing with some more of his stuff in december, but right now I'm on Urth of the New Sun, and I'm gonna read Lewis' cosmic trilogy next. This shelf is mostly my planned reading for the couple years, I'm basically through a tenth of it or so.
Ty ty fren, I like all of yours, too! When money becomes a non-issue for me I'm definitely gonna collect a bunch of editions of all my favorites
Is there an "order" I should read his books in? He's on my lists of authors to eventually get to.
I didn't realize it, but the set I got has dozens of his short stories alongside Notes from Underground, so I'm probably close to owning all his stuff. (Lewis still takes the cake with the sheer volume of books tho). It's a shame the dosto books themselves are paperback and the spines absolutely destroy themselves if you look at them wrong. I tried to find a good hardcover set but I could only find them in Russian ;___; i like all my books to look the same, if they can
Is Inferno not pictured for some reason?
It was on my nightstand at the time

Houellechad. Got all of the translated ones, including the poems. Shame there's no aneatir in sight - made a bet and I'm offing myself if it's bad.

John Gardner. I have all but one of his novels, two of his children's books, three of his translations, his Chaucer bio, and four of his books on writing. Plus I live a couple of miles from where he lived and worked at the end of his life, and ten miles from where he bit the dust on his motorcycle.
Hemingway, Henry Miller, Dostoyevsky, Nietzsche and Ralph Waldo Emerson
I own eight books by Mishima so definitely him. Now I pirate most of my books to save money.
Not even a contest.
Philip K. Dick.
Thomas Pynchon
>Kissinger
which one, and why? anyway for me I think it's Patrick White or J.G. Ballard
Pratchett, easily
Heidegger, Nietzsche are follow ups
When it comes to number of books, children's literature wins out easily:
— Captain W. E. Johns
During my Biggles phase I tried to collect all 84 (or however many there are). I guess I amassed about 50. Haven't looked at them in a while but they're around somewhere.
— Richmal Crompton
Same thing (the Just William books). About twenty, perhaps.
— Terry Pratchett.
However many he wrote, that's how many I've got. Twenty?
If you're counting total number of words, it might be different.
— Shakespeare.
Individual copies of all the plays, several Complete Works, a couple of editions of the sonnets.
— Dickens.
All the novels. A shelf-full, basically, and that's with thin pages and small writing.
R.C. Sproul, G.K. Chesterton, Hillaire Belloc, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Frederick Nietzsche
