Expounding upon the quadrophonical library

[center][b]When i stop buying all the time, the journey will just be beginning[/b][/center]

* Bavinck could i think be gotten before the end of this year

* The great round up overall could happen more quickly than previously thought.

* It is a mad dash to a state of only getting the odd thing once in awhile. The addiction to getting all the time must come to an end in less than 10 months from now.

* The current main interest completes the wheel of interests, the other portions of this wheel are 1) Philosophy 2) the arts and 3) mainstream

1) Philosophy, in this category is not just the basic philosophers but also certain strains of the humanities, most notably Feminism, and a smattering of science and so on.

2) The Arts, meaning literary works with a high aesthetic aspect, the classics of course to what is called Literary Fiction. Highbrow is a term more apt to my inclinations, so Wolfgang Hilbig and Knausgaard would be there but not some of the Literary Fiction stuff that gets so much attention by avid readers

3) The Mainstream is a broad term for genre fiction and anything popular.

and that leaves 4) Religious studies, with a keen spotlight on Christianity. Time might be too short for my planned time on the great Hindu texts. If only i would have started much earlier, or if i was much younger in these dazzling technological times i'd have time for more of the vast expanse of all that interests me.

I shall make this hopefully my last post for awhile, and be reading all these wonderful things, it's exciting to think that about 80% of the Christian stuff is there already, what remains are a few key works and sets, one biggie was added today, and the next biggie maybe before the end of the year, hip hip hoooray!!

@Lostpoet Yep, Les Miserables in many editions comes to over 1,400 pages. Like holding a brick.
