>gave in to temptation and ordered books AGAIN

>>24546369 (OP)
are you going to mention what books or what?

>>24546369 (OP)
Me too. Got Umberto Eco's "Name of the Rose" and "Foucault's Pendulum," Joyce's Portrait and "Dubliners," and Updike's (what's up...) "Rabbit, run" for around 30 bucks.

...I'll read Name of the Rose first. Seems fun, and I find the church history of the time really interesting.

ya i just got two books from amazon yesterday and i have two more on the way, ugh ugh ugh have to stop this madness my bed is covered in books i don't have space

I just bought an obscure biography of the Buddha written by some Hungarian autist who travelled to Tibet in the 1800s. I have no idea what to expect as no one in the world seems to have read it

Same. And at this point I don't any space for them, all my bookshelves are completely filled and I started piling book around.

>>24546369 (OP)
Same here. Got 2 Kuprin's short story collections, 1 Bulatovic, auto-da-fe by Cannetti and In the Labyrinth by Robbe-Grillet, which i got dirt cheap for 18 euros.

But when, later, he arrived in Calcutta, and then became aware that he had studied a dialect only (untergeordnete Sprache), he afterwards devoted himself to its primary source (Ursprache), the Sanskrit.”
Kek. This is the kinda shit I imagine /lit/zens doing if the internet wasn't a thing. Where did you hear about this guy, anon?

>>24546412
I did not care for 'Name of the Rose'. It insists upon itself.

>>24548761
Kek indeed. Had no idea about him until I saw the book (and purchased it on a whim).

>>24548761
should post this in >>>/int/lang/

I've had books on my reading list for years and buying them impulsively is good for finally getting to read them
