Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I posted this in the reading thread, but I figured a separate thread wouldn't hurt. In an effort to "de-clutter" my life (and by extension elevate my mood), I've decided to shed practically all of my library of physical books. I've posted pictures of the first round below, so if you see something that you're interested in, let me know so I can set it aside for you. All you have to cover is shipping/postage costs and PM me your address. I'm away on a business trip this upcoming week so I'll start sending when I return.

Guest Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Lots of stuff in there I’d read. Let me know what is left over after others pick through and I’ll buy the remainder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Assign me a book for homework, and I’ll read it. Actually, I probably won’t. I was supposed to read John Adams for my APUSH class and never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternallDarkness Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Wow, I wouldn't have the willpower to get rid of all my physical books (have well over 1K). but you are so right, they take up a ton of room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not a matter of the room they take up per se, but it's that they have become kinda symbolic of the "clutter" that's in my mind and is contributing to my current mental state. In order to start getting my mind right, it's necessary to "clear" them physically! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I wanna preemptively claim any books you have on the Russian Revolution in future rounds.

If you've read/studied different specific periods in the ancient world it's really helpful to read a book like Bauer's that places them all in relation to one another(or, alternatively, it's a nice way to get ideas about subjects you might want to dive deeper into). And she tends to make even dry subjects pretty fun to read about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 @Chris- you're getting two packages - one with the large softcover, the other with the two Witcher novels. If you want, pick another softcover to go into the package with the Witcher books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
