    It doesn't really add a lot to the meaning of the sentence. To me it is more of a colloquial intensifier in this usage. It will usually mean that the castle is a little farther to the right than one might expect.

    Reading books

    I want to read 300 books before I turn thirty. (I wrote almost the same thing last April.) To achieve this goal, I'll have to read one book every three or four days.

    There are a lot of things which I have to know better. Currently, I don't even know the exact locations of the prefectures of Japan. (If I'm told to point to the exact place of Osaka, I can't, because I don't know.) I also don't know Japanese history very well. In addition, I don't know the exact places of European countries and their histories, though I did learn them in school many years ago. That's a serious problem for my life. I think I need more knowledge, so I have decided to read more books.

    On the one hand, I also want to listen to music, drawing pictures, and do so many other things. But I don't think I can do them at once if I read the books at that pace.
    (I once was told that putting "But" at the beginning of the phrase is incorrect, but I have no idea how to write.)

    However, if I could read the books rapidly, I might be able to shorten the time to reading books. There are a lot of seminars like "reading books quickly to improve our business skills", but they seems somewhat suspective. I don't want to spend money for that kind of seminars. Maybe I would rather shorten my sleeping times.

    Grammatically, you should not join "snub" and "mutilated". You could say, "He has a mutilated, snub nose." "Mutilated" usually gives the connotation of being torn or physically damaged by something sharp. (You wouldn't call something mutliated that is just deformed, like a bumped or crooked nose.) So be sure that is the meaning you want. A snout is just another word for a nose, so I wouldn't recommend putting "as a snout" at the end. It's like saying, "He has a big blue eye, as an eye." It's already clear.
