I have loads of such tomes, as well. Once, I had an entire room dedicated to my library. Now, my library rests in books in a storage shed. I do hope that one day I will be able to introduce my granddaughters to that library. I might even be able to teach them enough German and Russian to read those books, as well.I'm an eclectic reader. Since I got a new library card (instead of buying books), I usually just browse the stacks until something catches my attention. Most of the time I find something new and interesting.So, you know how I live on my days off? Not having sufficient electrickery, though, I read instead of watch TV.I laid awake for an hour, and finally got up at 5AM. I will surf the web until 6AM then watch an early morning film on TV.
I read too, I have a large collection of books, many of them on philosophy. I have nearly finished reading A history of western philosophy by Bertrand Russel. But its a struggle and I don't understand or remember most of what I have read. However I am going to read it again more slowly when I have finished a quick read through it.
I have a library of my own, a lifetime collection of books, many of which I have not yet read. I have one bookcase dedicated to philosophy and psychology, and another full of religious books. I have read a number of them in the last couple of years. I recently ordered some more from amazon. Some books quote other books that sound interesting, so I buy them too. I just bought the meditations of Marcus Aurelius because it was mentioned in the history of western philosophy that I am reading.
I have read Herman Hesse in German.
