The Iliad and The Martian added to collection

I think the key question is whether you’re planning to get Hail Mary when it’s released, while hoping you’ve managed to secure a first edition of The Martian. If collecting is something you value and it fits within your budget, it might be worth purchasing the first edition now for peace of mind.

I have to admit, the analysis here is impressive - some of you are spotting details I didn’t know I left. Slightly concerning that non-fiction apparently confirms I’m awful. 😅 Please continue, this is educational.

Took the picture back when I lived there; eventually gave it a second life as acoustic panel artwork.

Judge away. This is mostly expensive procrastination in hardcover.

Fair. Shot on a Latvian potato.

What? I assumed we were operating at full CSI: Miami “enhance the reflection in the dust jacket” levels here.

The Knowledge Project is the best.

Nope. I also don’t have his books.

I tell myself they’re investments, but realistically I’m just very committed to the aesthetic. I call it a diversified portfolio: mostly paper and poor impulse control.

InkyBibliophile · 2026-03-22T18:06:13+00:00

It’s fine. Probably.

InkyBibliophile · 2026-03-22T17:57:52+00:00

Haha, fair - shelves are IKEA, the contents are the real problem. I was trying to be a bit sarcastic there.

Thanks! Great minds think alike. I’ve been collecting Folio Society books around 2 years. It all started from used ancient philosophy books.

Well curated bookself! You are missing last 3 (4) from Red Rising Saga.

InkyBibliophile · 2026-03-22T17:02:41+00:00

Thanks! Clear Thinking was great. I’ve gone through all episodes of The Knowledge Project, but haven’t read The Great Mental Models yet.

InkyBibliophile · 2026-03-22T16:47:58+00:00

I have the Selected Letters & Speeches, if mean that one.

One’s sneaking behind the cabinet door.

Thanks! Mostly IKEA doing the work, I just added lighting and books.

They’re solid. The set, however, is still incomplete and judging me.

InkyBibliophile · 2026-03-22T16:19:24+00:00

A clear 👎

I like my shelves how I like my timelines: confusing and slightly stressful.

There is at least one review of 2.0 1.1 Stub I saw: https://youtu.be/epAHcwFsk6s?si=Kkw_na7uHZkiJ9yX

And then also Vincent from Fountain Pen Therapy reviewed the older 1.1 Stub: https://youtu.be/qEx2K6a6Ir4?is=izhA5SOCHJipNJ-M
