- pascalxus 8y agoGreat article! I'm currently trying to build up my classical literature section. So many great books to read and so little time. :)
- HNLurker2 8y agoRead the summary, most of them are overrated and movies are fine :P Edit: its not cheating, it's maping
- thundergolfer 8y agoI certainly agree that sitting in a room full of books you haven't read feels so great because of how humbling it is. I was once in the house of a very wealthy family (as a waiter), and their library was just so perfect it almost evoked a feeling of the sublime. I made detours on the way to the guests just to pass through the space. A recent move has me scared off accumulating though. It seems you pay for a book once, and then pay for it again in time, money, and effort every few times you move house.
