What books do you have multiple copies of? (lemmy.world)

And, why do we do this to ourselves?

I have two copies of:

  • The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

  • Small Island by Andrea Levy

  • Thinking Clearly by Jill Leblanc

These are due to integration between my partner's books and my own.

  • The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

  • No Logo by Naomi Klein

  • Island by Aldous Huxley

These are because they are some of my favourite books and, except for No Logo, I have one hardcover and one softcover edition.

I have multiple copies of Cloud Atlas because I let it out not expecting to get it back but people returned it.

Also you should read Cloud Atlas.

Yes, I agree. Read Cloud Atlas.
