How many books do you own?

[belamyi]

^^^then you probably shouldn't acquire any....eh?

 

[zoltanspawn]

I would rather know what people are reading and what they think about those books.

Although this reminds me I need to put Borges in my queue.

 

[Kulindahr]

How many? No idea, but the last time I had them all on shelves I had 128 feet of shelves filled -- and that was after I donated a pile of books to the library of the church just down the street; that was probably another 30 feet worth.

But I have about 400 on my Nook right now -- history, historical fiction, science, science fiction, some fantasy, and a few other odds and ends.

I'm really surprised how many books some people have.

I'm really aghast about what sort of books so many people have.

That just put me in the mood to go metaphysical book shopping tomorrow..in your honor...so thanks!

I shall purchase at least one just with you in mind. Which genre do you dislike the most?

"Genre"? You mean truly "genre", or "sort" of "metaphysical thought": Descartes, Leibniz, Schopenhauer, Heidegger... you can't go wrong following the bigger "classics" to plunge in utter, totally clueless rubbish about the subject in question.

I am guessing that deep down inside you probably really like Shirley MacClaine...alot....so I will see if Shirley has anything new...or old...and I shall think of you every time I pick up the book....

...or maybe Shakti Gawain?...or both!

I quite like Jiddu Krishnamurti...I assume you do as well?

I do but... "a lot"... well, that's a lot to say

OMG I remember my Venezuelan haircropper recommending me that "Master" to me years ago!!
So you won't follow my suggestions...

Can recommend Borges. Like it very much.
Quality above quantity, but I guess quantity can be a quality on its own.

Oh, you think Borges is mind-blowing, too? I just loved Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius.

Yep. One of his stories is like some other writers' entire novels.

It's nice to see we're all upsetting Belamo together. He likes that.

Indeed, as mind-blowing as the complete works of Henry Madison Morris.

I figure if vinyl can make a comeback, books definitely will.

It's... ... to see you all still delude yourselves about your power of influence on me...

 

[HoodedRat]

I expect belamo would prefer the intellectual strength, scientific rigor, and spiritual profundity of Deepak Chopra. ... or maybe Oprah.

[zoltanspawn]

Maybe you could have that tattooed on your back as a kind of gyaravatara with Oprah, per HoodedRat's suggestion, included?

 

[Zeno Lorea]

Well I thought Belamo would love that clip, but apparently he was in another bitchfight again.
