and other things from every book I can handle.
أَقْدِرُ — I can. A present-tense verb with an 'I' subject built into its prefix, opening a short relative clause that describes the books: the ones I am able to manage. It needs no relative word in front because the noun it follows is indefinite, where Arabic attaches such clauses directly. The verb's prefix alone carries the speaker.
