Oh, for content I cannot post my bookshelf. It's a bunch of Ranma 1/2. That's not why, though. It's because I use action figures a bookends and my few friends are goons and it would look bad and gently caress I've said too much.

monitoring the reading habits of citizens has been and still is a tactic of the government to keeps tabs on, and persecute political dissidents

Who designed your bookshelf? M.C. Escher?

A friend explained this to me recently when you start to amass a collection of VHS or books that extend beyond your storage capacity you just begin creatively layering them until you are disassembling an elaborate jigsaw to get at a copy of demolition man or whatever

Oh no I'm well aware of that. I was just pretending the picture was right side up instead of on its side so all your books were defying gravity.

I saw a good article the other day that was talking about how a good way to get through classics which may or may not be of interminable length is to simply set a reasonable page limit for each day and just consistently read that amount every day like 25 pages etc.

i absolutely loved Infinite Jest but i couldn't get through more than 10-20 pages at a time because it filled me with this half-anxious half-excited energy like coming up on a drug that made me want to throw the book on the ground and go for a jog

is there a disorder where a book that is obviously from a used book store or maybe a touch raggedy looking VHS gets you excited, more than newer versions or iterations of either
