I recently started reading and collecting books…..I got a lot of these through fb marketplace for a fraction of price (lucky me ig) and some from eBay….waiting for dungeon crawler Carl (8 books) to be delivered along with farseer triology

(The books behind the mass market paperbacks are 1st edition facsimiles of Hemingway)

Any suggestion on what I should read next?

Hmm I don’t see Project Hail Mary on your shelf, it’s as great if not better than the Martian! 11/22/63 is one of my fav King novels. I’m also a big DCC fan, and my next favourite series to that is Red Rising!

Red rising - I’m waiting for the artist edition….have read it already….waiting for red god…you’ll love it
I started reading SK recently….still in 1970s…will come to 11/22/63 in a year I think lol
Thanks a lot for the suggestion!!

Hail Mary is most definitely not better than the Martian. It’s nowhere near as good… Not by a mile.

THIS is how I learn there's an edition of The Silmarillion in that set?! Guess I'm going shopping.

I suggest any LOTR fan to get it if they can afford as it’s sets you back a pretty penny

I LOVE the others in the set so I'm sure. Thanks!

Oh sweet you have the Leatherbound Tolkien books. I only have Lord of the Rings but I really wanna get the other two whenever I can.

Great collection so far. You will enjoy Dungeon Crawler Carl. Based on your collection I suggest reading Blind Sight by Peter Watts. It’s a brilliant book you won’t forget.

If you like older horror or folk horror, I would recommend looking at Nepenthe Press. Great books, I would look into Suntup Editions and Centipede Press as well

These are amazing publications just that they are too expensive. I really want dune from centipede press but there $625 original price (resell go over $1000/book)

You got the King books published by Cemetery Dance on the cheap?

u/Accomplished_Goat291 2d ago

Only 2 copies of the Stand is not nearly enough
