Well it’s kinda hard to fuck the books when they don’t exist, so yeah that makes sense
Keep your condoms behind the books, impress me
Honestly, a bookshelf tells you a lot. Even one messy little stack of books is a green flag.
I have books.
If no books, a well worn library card is a sexy substitute.
That person will have books, they will be overdue.
I use the presence books or an e-reader in a home as a barometer for how much have in common with the people in it. I’m not a snob about it, either. I don’t care if its Harry Potter or obscure volumes of post-structural literary criticism. Just read, please.
But I can’t afford to keep books! They take up a lot of space that requires large rooms with shelves and shit. I can’t even afford a decent apartment!
What if I show you my Chinese e-reader with my digital collection of pirated books instead? You like Terry Pratchett?
Boox. Absolutely fascinating for pirated books and comics.
I live in baltimore and see john waters all the time, he’d f*** any handsome thing with a penis book or not. He’s winked sexually at me several times.
No homo, but i like attention so flirting is ok bro.
I would be honored as a straight man to be hit on by Waters
8 drinks in, stinking like booze, with his old clammy hands. Ok, im signing you up for epsteins island 2 electric bugaloo
I like books but its media in a different form. It could be great or it could be trash. The book format says nothing. I’d consider someone who watches the YouTube channel Angela Collier as more educated than someone who has a bookshelf full of Danielle Steel novels.
sure, but the point is if they don’t have any books at all
the former person would and should have books
Someone with no books but watches Angela Collier is more educated than a person with a bookshelf of Danielle Steele.
You know, I’m not so sure I agree, actually.
It is really, really, really easy to engage with content on Youtube passively. That is, without really paying attention.
If a person watches Angela Collier on a side screen while playing a video game or something, and can’t really recall anything she’s talked about, I don’t know if that really counts.
You could say that people who watch Angela corrolate with people who do pay attention, but then I’d say that people who watch Angela corrolate with people who own books.
Oh man… but if we let all the people who don’t have books just fuck each other instead of us… isn’t that how we get Idiocracy / this timeline?
Due to a few job losses, moves, and storage losses a while back, I lost and stopped replenishing my physical books, so most of my library is digital. Also helps since I need glasses now.
There are worrying drawbacks to digital also, like whether i might suddenly not own stuff I purchased, but so far it’s been better for me.
I love old books.
I wish there were more spaces where I could have a comfy chair, a beer and an old tome.
In suburbia, books are ornaments and rarely read. They are just there to get laid.
Sure, the guy has a ton of books in the shelves. But how many mysterious badly sorted storage boxes of books he has? Now that’s the real test of character.
Also ask probing questions about how many obsolete programming books he has. It may get awkward but it has to be done.
My friends have an Estonian book that teaches fortran 77 and BASIC if I remember correctly. It’s a truly wondrous tome.
We need to make dvds and CDs cool again…
They’re about due for a comeback
