You own an impressive bookshelf, overflowing with a wide range of mathematics and physics textbooks, in addition to numerous works on philosophy and various scientific fields, don't you? On Sunday mornings, it seems that you often choose to spend your time engrossed in some of these math textbooks, thoroughly studying and solving every problem that the books have to offer, all the while savoring the warm and soothing taste of Lipton tea, right?
"No?" I'm intrigued by your response. What do you mean by "no"? . Don't you want to follow in the footsteps of this esteemed physicist and Nobel laureate, Richard Feynman?

Are you poor? All those paperbacks, they'll fall apart and are trash, nigger

Worse, they are pirated paperbacks. He's so poor he cannot even afford the real paperbacks.

Calling Lipton yellow "tea" is an insult to all tea drinkers around.

I bought these books online. They were shipped from Glory China, and each book cost about 12 USD
--- 15346215
My wife doesn't allow me to put my textbooks on the shelf in the living room. She says they don't belong there and her friends would consider me a weirdo if they saw those books. But apparently her "Shades of Gray" and similar trashy erotic novels are perfectly fine for our guests to see.
--- 15346220
>>15346214
Not worth it. I pay like 20-30 bucks for a hardcover and like 50 max for a used hardcover, but at least its not chinese toilet paper
--- 15346224
>>15346220
Well, for some books, I really need the correct edition that matches the instructor's solution manual. It's quite difficult to find physical textbooks, so printed eBook PDF files are much easier and cheaper
--- 15346232
>>15346215
You're both retarded so it works out. Textbooks are trash tier shelf material

Who do some scientific authors insist on trying to be funny.?
The amount of bad word-puns makes pic related almost unbearable to read.

Because Feynman did all of his work on Sunday mornings?

They are printed illegally. It's pretty common in China and India (where OP is from). Novels used to be pirated often. Count of Monte Cristo was sold pirated for the longest time in English speaking countries.

I didn't know this even existed. Must be real poor places.. Here a used book is like 50 cents and goes up to perhaps 50 bucks if anything, no need to illegally print anything
--- 15351781
>>15346220
>chinese toilet paper
Those are used by cheapskate western publishers for books to be sold in China. I presume the pirated books have much better paper.

Stopped reading there. Pseud detected.

I lost my copy of the great gatsby because I didn't put it on the shelf after reading it and now I can't finish it.
Fuck.

Philosophy books are a waste of time. Science is knowledge. Philosophy is imitation knowledge consumed primarily by people incapable of the real thing. I have never had that kind of tea but I like any kind of hot drinks so I would try it.

This is so cringe. Every normal person just knows the scientific method. But OP needs like a dozen books about "how science works" and is probably proud of his "u cannot know nuthin" ignorance.

>Every normal person just knows the scientific method.
Yes, I'm sure. That's why alternative medicine is not a good business model.
--- 15357664
>>15357634
That's easily explained. Doctors are ignorant, greedy and lazy. Nothing to do with science in general.

This is obviously a school library shelf. You didn't even have a home bookshelf to photograph. Pathetic.

textbooks are for classrooms and school libraries
my bookshelf is mostly full of scifi and fantasy novels, along with some aristotle, copernicus, kepler, newton, einstein, and hawking
--- 15358369

You have not even opened any of these.

--- 15358516
>>15358383
jules verne is my all time favorite. i also enjoy frank herbert, ray bradbury, hg wells, and isaac asimov.

wow, looks bretty bad, i mean the condition of the books and also paperbacks in toilet paper quality. Why?
--- 15359078
>>15358369
>>15358141
I have. Most of the books I used for classes in the
past and a couple others for reference.
>>15358659
Some of the books that I found near the college
library or handed to me had wear and tear over
the years. So I had to be careful with them as
I used it for reference and putting them back.
The paperbacks are not like those international
or 3rd party outfits, they're legit Oxford, Cambridge
Dover, etc. with a good thickness to the pages.

I'd crack open that book from the shelf and read
the contents, if you catch my drift.

I used this one from dynamics class. Doesn't go
deeper than linear algebra and ODE's. Plenty
of practical examples and questions to do, with
introductions of chaos and dynamics topics to
get the taste of the whole branch without going
too deep. Good for reference and practical usage/
/primer for further topics in dynamics and chaos.
