oh that's a beautiful copy!
I guess there's no translation available so I'll report on the Mengelberg book for everyone here who's a fan of his

Nice Tomie too.
Maybe I should read Das Kapital, I thought the manifesto was a bit underwhelming with how short it was and all. I guess it was supposed to be a call to arms rather than a template to base political ideologies off of.

Thanks for reviving this thread and showing us your bookshelves. I found them fascinating to look at.
Shared with Marie: I've also read Capote, Collins (if it's The Moonstone peaking out from behind your speaker), Kafka, Burroughs, Camus, T.Mann, Joyce, Vonnegut, Dostoyevski and Lovecraft. Shared with Frownland: ...er, well, I also keep my books on shelves, so we definitely have that in common!

I just ordered volume 1 of Kapital so if anyone wants to start a Kapital reading group I'd be down.

The bolded are all hiding somewhere on my shelves so there'd at least be something for you there. We do have some crossover with Umberto Eco, but I remember you not being a fan of his. I feel like Joseph Heller would be up your alley and I'm working on getting all of his works.

Also I should clarify that the books called 'Voorouders' are my grandfather's account of my family history and Het Groene Eiland is basically a commie children's book

definitely, let's just include it in the MB book club. That thread needs a bump anyway

Repected Brit author, Francis Wheen said it was bizarre that any country would use Das Kapital as a basis for an economic model, on account of its lack of accurate analysis. If I remember right, he says it'd be like using Lord of The Rings as the basis of a country's foreign policy. I hope that's not a spoiler, and that you'll find it more interesting, while being less definitive, than you expect. Quote:
![]() I'm sorry to say that Joseph Heller disappointed me as well; not altogether surprising given the quantity of hype that there used to be around Catch 22. At least there is some more common ground that I bet we share: biographies of Zappa and Beefheart. In case you want proof, exhibit A is a photo of my bookshelf :post #8 in this thread. Quote:
I should also clarify that you have way more Dutch language books than me. ![]()
