It's too crowded around us, the empty reading room offers wealth that only the true reader is allowed to immerse himself in."

"Literature is no dalliance, no pastime, it IS time. Life has no more intense experience to offer, life is truly and only there to be read. One reads life away, letters are merely another sort of spectacles, which allow us to see things that life conceals with its own things...

I actually did not like this

I think the sound was fucked up, all I could hear was thudding repetitive bass and none of what was happening around / behind it (the interesting parts)

They had changed venues and I wonder if that messed things up

Also not sure about techno live in general

After losing all this weight maybe this is the winter I get a turtleneck and try to steal Beckett’s style

These are great they’ll be like β€œa man grew a big cabbage and climbed to heaven, his wife wanted to go so he carried her up in a bag but he dropped her and she smashed apart. Then a fox came and said it could heal her but it ate her instead the end”

Like what

Amazing

feel like I’m going to end up with a new turntable when the sting in my wallet fades

Feel like my Onkyo 20s are still beasts of speakers tho

Real question is: do I finally need to give a shit able higher end cables

I really hope not

Got my amp repaired and it fried again after a day of use. It’s toast, something integral is broken that can’t be fixed.

But now I’m getting one of these so hey

Yeah there are definitely exceptions. Every once in awhile I go through to see if there are books I simply don’t care about, donated three boxes to the library a couple years ago.

So I kinda lied but nothing I care about goes, and I care about a lot! Not at mold/bug stage yet tho πŸ˜†

I have far fewer records than books though and I should really organize those. Really only the books are locked in my head.

I know what shelf a record is on but not precisely where so it can take a bit to find the one I want

One day maybe I’ll need it. Two rooms of shelves and I’m not there yet tho

Ohhhh

No, I just have a photographic memory of where everything is, it’s not even alphabetical

My wife will ask me about a book and I’ll be like β€œwhite wall bookshelf, third shelf down, slightly right of center” right off the dome

At what point do you give up on having enough bookshelves for your books and just start piles

Keep looking to get another one and then thinking about how it’ll just be filled fairly quickly
