There is a lot of crap in there snoopcester Send a noteboard - 05/09/2009 01:52:23 AM
I only saw a few actually decent books in there. His library is the White Castle of print - cheap crap in shitty paperbacks that are in terrible shape. I only saw a handful of books that actually have any literary merit - The Plague by Camus and some Kipling that wasn't specified on the spine.


I only scanned over the first three and saw Tom Sharpe who is a quality satirical as well other odd names that rang a bell from the past - there was a decent amount of trash but it looked to me like he had a pretty good mix for an author like him.
He also had a few repeat books in there. So I'd guess he's using it as a semi store room as mush as a library.
It does actualy look like a friend's boss's library though, and he is earning obscene amounts, so they really don't show much about the owner.

The shelves look like he put them in himself, too.


Well yeah:P

Also, I expected to see more books.


I do and did, my reaction is to assume that the library is where he keeps boks he is finished with, not books he is using.

Define this "literary merit" you speak of. It seems so elitest to me, but surely that's not the case *NM* lord-of-shadow - 04/09/2009 05:55:52 PM 378 Views
