Finally, a bookshelf tour that I can relate to.

This is truly fantastic. I wish I had a similar book collection. I hope you utilize these books to their fullest extent.

You have a really calming voice. Thank you for sharing your personal library, it gave me a lot.

What, no self-help book on how to read a self-help book?? So refreshing to see such an eclectic collection of very fine books. Thanks for the tour.

Books are my passion. I grew up reading from a young age and I try to keep reading as much as I can. History books, classic literature, primary texts. Fiction, non fiction, fantasy/sci-fi. Foreign language. I Loved seeing your classic and antiquity era books as well as all the literature. and also hope that future generations will treasure books the same way We do. I know a lot of kids don’t read anymore but it is my hope that they will do so one day again. I also have a kindle but I feel there’s nothing like holding a book, the cover and pages being wrinkled meaning that they have been well loved. I am determined that if I am rich enough one day, I will turn one entire room in my house into a library and design it to look very classic style. Not just books but beautiful paintings, sculptures pertaining to their relevant subjects. Maybe a sofa and rug. Secretary desks. I would build it as a very homey area too so I can always go there when I feel in need of it

Very enjoyable Tour. I simply adore looking at other people's bookshelves and getting an insight into the uniqueness that makes us all so different and yet all so similar. Different in the books we choose and the way we store them and yet in unity because we all simply love books!!

I enjoyed the tour! King, Warrior, Magician, Lover by Robert Moore, Jungian psychologist, is a classic about the mature masculine archetypes, but I suggest it to clients of any gender because it is about development. There are also many companion lectures here on KZfaq about these archetypal forces.

Only bookshelf tour I have liked so far. I'm tired of clicking on these videos of people with gigantic bookshelves full of garbage from the teen section of Barnes and Noble. I'm subbing and I'm thinking of doing my own bookshelf tour in quarantine as well :D

Man, I love those penguin random house books grrr

Oh my gosh! Amazing books collection

Really loved this tour. It's not often you see such a range of topics on a reader's shelf, atleast on KZfaq

I like your perspective on having books and reading them.

Great idea to share your library! It's always enjoyable for book lovers to see what others read. Btw, if you haven't read "Beloved" or Junot Diaz they're awesome fiction books. Totally recommended!

Why do some of us love to collect books? It’s an art for me

Dude you literally have the same books that I have😂😂😂

Thank you so much for sharing! I was trying to find a bookshelf tour to pass the time as well as to see if anything may catch my eye for the next time I head to the bookstore. However, nearly every single video I found was mostly YA based or YA with some adult fiction. It's nice to see variety and someone with a different taste. Hope you're doing well!

As someone who studies latin at uni this was great to see!

Absolutely love it so far Pessoa! He is definitely poetry! Yep, best library I’ve seen yet!

Your bookshelf is really cool.... And i liked the way of taking the tour in a pleasant simple way.

I love how unique your collection is. Great video

Your voice is very relaxing and your collection is inspiring

Great video. In October on Amazon - Carl Jung, The Black Book complete set in hardcover. It is expensive but would be great to add as a collection.

It enables me a lot to have an idea to build up a little library of my own.

Yes! This is more like it. I myself, am working my way through modern classics, classics and philosophy. So your library is right up my alley. And! I love a second hand book. So much more history to it. The little personalised notes or annotations of previous owners, just makes it more, just so much MORE. (Why does the word ‘more’ look wrong the more I look at it?)

Such a nice relaxing voice!

Wow, very impressive and decent library. I love it so much.

you inspire and motivate me sir your tutorials made me get started on youtube

I should stop watching library tour videos and read my own books lol. But great video!

Love seeing these videos since we are trapped at home! I have 2 kids & a wife at home and out of work at the moment because of this whole situation so I started reading some of my books I’ve been really wanting to get to. I also started filming a lot for my channel in hopes to be able to do YT full-time one day but these kind of videos are helping. Thanks Justin...Keep Creating! 🎥🎬

08:16 Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet. What a book... Even better in it’s original language.

There are so many bookshelf tours from females and although I don't want to offend anyone by commenting gender wise, I did want you to know how much I appreciate seeing a bookshelf tour from a male perspective. Thank you for sharing your shelves. I am really enjoying the tour.

Really great points. Awesome collection, man.

Love your collection

Saying you don't think the point of a shelf is having read every book on there just took a huge weight off my chest.

This is a great collection!!

This really put me at ease.

I like your section of philosophy. It inspires me to complement mine.

You have an incredible collection, do you have a full written list of your books that you can kindly share? Thank you.

Your tutorials help us make music videos really appreciate it and also your underrated anyway stay safe

Hey Justin..I am very happy to see you are going on also with this topic apart of Pr or Ae..which are related to our jobs..which are nowadays shutted down for an undetermined period of time, but also reading books is also another important part of our jobs, even lives..I totally understand your live for books! I am this kind too, having over 7000 volumes in my personal library..covering a long time of aquisitions...Keep do this awesome work you do..it is very important! Let's hope we will stay healty after this entire Covid19 experience which is completly changing our perceptions! Big congrats Justin!❤

i love these types of books. Been looking for recs and all i find on yt are young adult

best looking library so far, this is authentic,,if you know what I mean,,,,^^

WOW...Amazing! I literally whatched the video twice!!!

I really liked the video, I just have some points where I have slightly different views. Like for example, having loads of books I haven’t read would stress me out. I agree that simply knowing of a book is valuable just as well but I prefer keeping lists for that. I once heard that reading books and buying books are two very different hobbies. Of course it’s pretty cool that you’re getting many of them from thrift stores - I guess I’m more annoyed by other booktubers showing huge hauls from amazon. And then, of course buying a whole shelf of books might be cheaper than college but the community aspect gets lost completely. That might be the fault of the education system but in theory the real value of college should be being able to collaborate on ideas, explore and challenge existing theories in peer groups.

I’m jealous of your economics section!

great bookshelf :)

Reading is what? Fundamental! Nice collection. I also have an unread copy of Metamorphoses. :) also, great ASMR content.

man you have a beautiful library

Great tour man. We almost have similar tastes. My personal suggestions include the James brothers, Cicero, Byron, Shelley the Romantics in general, political theory or at least it's originators like the Romans, also more roman works like the Satyricon perhaps, you might find latter psychoanalysts interesting like Adler, or Lacan if you're interested with language and from there further into the continental tradition of philosophy. Right now I'm getting into the Mahabharata, or at least sections of it so you might find that interesting, or just the Vedas in its entirety. Also more Russians lol. Great vid nevertheless.

Well done.

Noting down books im gonna buy after this ends 😂

Yes sir you have great taste very very much similar to my taste 🔥🔥🔥

Lovely editions! And they're all in top shape! Where do you usually buy your books?

I can see the Tim Ferris influence in the library. I skipped around the video but I think you'd enjoy CS Lewis a lot. I really need to read Virgil. Cheers

Hey Justin. I mostly like your religious books and sci fi books which is cool to have I like the 48 laws of power book.

Bonito estante de libros

What no Green Eggs and Ham? Thank you for the share and commentary, Amen on the Time Machine.

Great collection and awesome tour. Is it possible for you to share either the book list or picture of this shelf? I would like to buy a few of these titles.

Justin, your book collection is absolutely fantastic. We have so many books in common. I think you would enjoy The Art of Communicating by Thich Nhat Hanh and The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi. What sort of envision do you have for yourself down the road? Have you ever have thoughts about becoming a storyteller through some sort of medium?

Considering you have a background in video editing and a strong understanding of Graphic Design, what would you say are your favourite book covers of all time? I really enjoy looking at book covers.

Knowledge is power

Rewatching this video because your collection is really nice 😂... I’m wondering how you go about tackling different types of texts, like philosophy books vs Shakespearean plays vs narrative poetry etc...

Great stuff, I was quite amazed and occasionally creeped out by the amount of similarity in our reading interests and impressions of some works. "48 laws of power" for me is maybe the only book I hate in my library. I assume you are from US, maybe you haven't gotten familiar with more modern european classics, and I would like to suggest one to you, based on my estimation of your preferences. HERMAN HESSE, legendary German novelist. His underlying themes are individuality, eastern philosophy, reason vs soul, Jung's psychology... If I may suggest the first book as well. "Siddhartha" or "Steppen Wolf". I am a bit high and unsure of how long am I trying to assemble this comment. Pardon my non mothertounged, frankenglish.

Personally, my idea of my home library is a collection of all the books I've read completely.

We both like and read the same genres

Awesome collection. What classics would you recommend to a beginner in classic literature?

Nice collection. We collect similar types of books. If I had your patience, I would have spent a lot less on my collection than you likely have on yours. I prefer having paper copies, too. It's not so far fetched that your online books might get censored or banned one day.

Karl Ove Knausgard My Struggle. You’d like it. Betterthanfood is a good channel for sure. Nice collection!

I thought this you were a booktuber but then I checked out your channel.

❤️❤️❤️

I liike it

Next to the Japanese bookmark, Pessoa: "I destroyed myself. To understand is to forget..." Nice collection, good discussion.

Has a respectable book shelf that's not all YA trash, begins his video with the Greek section. You browse /lit/ I bet.

*K N O W L E D G E*

It's good you have Schopenhauer. Excellent collection !!!

Wow. You are a heavyweight, compared to most of the garbage I've been seeing in KZfaq bookshelf tours videos, perhaps the best of the lot.

Great library man! I highly recommend the book _Some Answered Questions_ by ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá which addresses philosophy, science, religion, and practically everything. Truly mind blowing stuff! ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá is the son of Bahá’u’lláh, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith -the newest independent world religion. The writings of Bahá’u’lláh are also really worth looking into. He said "the well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established.” "So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth." Anyways take care! :)

You have a podcast? How did I not know about this?

i think is amazing how cheap is book in America. I mean, GOOD books can be found really cheap. Here in Brazil any good book is really expensive, so, if i try to buy only used books from used books stores, i would end with crap or even old censurated (because of brazilian militar regime period around '64) version of books. It's a shame books good books be so hard to find here and when you find is not cheap to buy.

Great collection. Also, got a list of what you got already? Using library thing? Are you looking for more suggestions? Project Guttenberg? Any Genet, Foucault, Celinie or Malroux? Are you on good reads? You're also old enough for Richard Ford, Franzen.

I have a ton of the same titles, a lot are even the same transition or cover/publisher. Hahah

Wow! How long did you take to collect these books?

Great library Justin! What are you reading right now? I’m reading Mishima’s Sea of Fertility which is really fantastic!

at 32.30 - are you refering to Digital Fortress by Dan Brown?

God dang how could people read so many books, im jealous 😂

Existentialism I see, I can see the link between the authors. I recommend reading Notes from the Underground by Dostoevsky and also the Sickness Unto Death by Soren Kierkegaard. Also the Gay (joyous) Science by Friedrich Nietzche.

A shorter was more welcome. I like the books you have though

There should be religious book too... Like bible, Quran, Taura etc.. That great collection over there..

Yo yo! Whats up Justin! 👋

If anyone likes philosophy and anime, watch Kara No Kyoukai (the garden of sinners).

You need some history shelves. :D I have one shelf all devoted to Spanish history. One of ancient history. One of medieval and Renaissance history. One of jewish. One of Latin America, one of asian/chinese. And three of american.

List name pls.

3:04 "i do kinda know the idea ovid' heheheee.... im 5.

"Hello, vocal fry department?"

Another young guy who fell down the stoicism/Peterson/jung youtube rabbit hole just like me some months ago. I suggest Steve Donoghues channel to cure that.

Can not see Henry James anywhere!!!!
