based but ONLY if you insist on them naming a grant or scholarship in your honour
A house with a real library and reading room. I want at least two floors, maybe three of space, books crawling up along the walls with a tiered walkway above. Dimmed lighting to protect the books from UV. A huge set of comfy seating available below as well as a robust study area.
A house to store more bookshelves. More bookshelves. Finally, I will sit down and fill in my gaps to create a complete library of Nintendo Power magazines.
One of those twenty volume Oxford English Dictionaries. Ever since I learned about this set from Penn "Trashman" Jillette (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJhQKw2xZIM @28:33) I've wanted one. I had access to the online OED for sometime, but I really want the set for my study
I would give every single poster on LULZ a golden ticket inviting them to a competition in one year. At that competition they have the chance to win five million dollars. There can be multiple winners. The only thing they have to do to win five million dollars is pass an oral exam on classical society focused on primary sources, pass Latin and Greek reading and composition exams, perform several Euclidean constructions and pass a relatively easy problem from Apollonius' treatise on conics sections, give two one-hour presentations on two major philosophers of their choosing, give one presentation on the oeuvre of a pre-20th century literary author of their choosing, bench press 200lbs, have a conversation in a European language of their choosing which they did not learn as children, and swear an oath never to respect the opinions of unmarried women.
I'd invite everyone interested to a remote research institution I'd set up but under false pretext since it turns out to be more of a sadistic concentration camp
I would buy a country estate. At least a hundred acres of land.
I would farm it, but mostly to provide forage for pheasants, partridge and deer.
A small craftsman’s bungalow with swimming pool, grill and smoker
A good pedigree German Shorthair pointer for bird hunting
A Beretta Silver Pigeon 12 gauge shotgun
Maybe a AYA 20 gauge SXS for partridge
I might raise a small herd of sheep as well and need a couple of border collies.
A Toyota Tacoma pickup truck for work on the farm
A Porsche 911 for entertainment, picking up the young and impressionable farmers’ daughters.
A couple nice guitars as well
A sunburst Les Paul
A butterscotch Telecaster
A Gibson Hummingbird
A good wine cellar maybe a few choice Bordeauxs but mostly more middle of the road fare like Argentine Malbecs, California Zinfandels and Pinot Noirs and Italian Chiantis.
I would also take a few fishing trips to the Florida Keys and Belize. Maybe take up diving as well.
I probably won’t have much time for reading with all that keeping me busy though
I would buy the Strand in Manhattan
I would sell off the duplicate or multiple copies of books and all books by female authors
Get a mattress and a piss jug and move in
A nice tall back armchair. A set of cozy blankets. linen, cotton, and wool for different seasons. A massive stone hearth like the one from Christmas in Connecticut. Then a shitload of the finest whiskey money can buy so I can get drunk in my armchair in front of my fire while pretending to read.
I'd hire a team of veteran hitmen to cleanse the world of all trannies, triphomosexuals and spamnaggers on LULZ.org but especially LULZ and /tg/ (userbase would be back to the numbers of the early 2000s I imagine)
>buy/build 2 story house in the middle of the mountains >get a real piano and the other studio equipment I always wanted >gtfo from society to focus on writing and music I wouldn't mind some coke and/or opium now and then
complete works of picrel would be first. after that, the newest Norton and Bevington shakespeares, two shelves of the best shakespeare criticism, complete Freud, complete Proust, complete Faulkner, and then at least one eight foot tall shelf dedicated solely to contemporary literature in translation
My dream has always been to open a publishing house where anons can be published and also just obscure works in Latin and such. So first would be that. Then I fund the opening of an academy to give willing students a rigourous training in humanities (languages, history, literature, philosophy). Then retire to southern France or Greece with a modest house and an immodest personal library, while living a modest life so as to avoid wagecuckery.
Translations of works that are not available in my language or have subpar translations - like NYRB editions
Good, archival paper and leatherbound editions of classics - kind of like la Pléiade, but without the Bible paper - and non-fiction
Complete works of some authors
I'd also publish contemporary literature that is not minorities' misery porn or intersectionality babble.
Probably something along the lines of Asset management and protection for dummies, or introduction to accounting so I don't get raped ultra hard by the tax man and end up paying 60+% in taxes and fees.
Or worse, end up in prison because I fucked up some paperwork and the government just takes 100+% of it.

Put together a team for an Oceans 11 style heist on the Vatican vault, then with the remaining money hiring top-level ai specialists and translators to translate all of it as quickly as possible. Then post them on here as they are completed.

Nice bookcases. I need more badly

I get some (possibly hot) teacher to teach me Russian.
A house with a real library and reading room. I want at least two floors, maybe three of space, books crawling up along the walls with a tiered walkway above. Dimmed lighting to protect the books from UV. A huge set of comfy seating available below as well as a robust study area.
I use my vast wealth to become the literary character
A house to store more bookshelves. More bookshelves. Finally, I will sit down and fill in my gaps to create a complete library of Nintendo Power magazines.

It’s 2023. There are no farmers’ daughters. There are no young people in these places, let alone young women.
Get some land up in the mountains
Stock up on ammo
Read all the books that the feds don’t want me to read

A hundred beautiful leatherbound copies of The Turner Diaries to hide in various libraries
A nice tall back armchair. A set of cozy blankets. linen, cotton, and wool for different seasons. A massive stone hearth like the one from Christmas in Connecticut. Then a shitload of the finest whiskey money can buy so I can get drunk in my armchair in front of my fire while pretending to read.

Wtf I love Rupi now

Good, archival paper and leatherbound editions of classics - kind of like la Pléiade, but without the Bible paper - and non-fiction
Complete works of some authors
I'd also publish contemporary literature that is not minorities' misery porn or intersectionality babble.
Video editor for my booktube channel
I’d get Gillian Anderson to make erotica audiobooks
I would stop reading books and start living my life
Probably something along the lines of Asset management and protection for dummies, or introduction to accounting so I don't get raped ultra hard by the tax man and end up paying 60+% in taxes and fees.
Or worse, end up in prison because I fucked up some paperwork and the government just takes 100+% of it.
I ain't looking to get my life ruined.

A brand new bookshelf and physical copies of all the japanese light novels I like, starting with Ascendance of a Bookworm.
After that nothing changes because I already have the best ereader (Kindle 3) and more than enough physical copies of books to keep me busy for years.
Going on a trip to newyork to get into a large bookstore and buy physical editions of all those books that are not translated in my thirdie cunt
