YOU AIN'T TAKIN' MUH BOOKS, MARIE

>implying you've read a book
You give the book to a library, you retard.

does he look like he has any joy

Let them think they are so they remain ineffectual.

I don't. If I paid for it and got my use out of it, I can't be fucked to drive to the library to give it away.

he looks like he only fucks white girls

>he looks like he only fucks white boys

So donate them to a library.

Hell yeah

If his background is considered hoarding then I've got real issues, apparently. Though in my defense I've (Almost) completely stopped buying paper books ever since I started using ereaders.

people enjoy watching kondo's show on netfilx. that doesn't mean they're actually following her advice or that it's a "craze"

>I've got real issues, apparently
Of course you do. Have sex and they should resolve themselves.

Makes sense since mutts like kardashians are considered white by americans

Do you have any idea how many books libraries get rid of? Most that you have, they're probably not interested in.

I'd give Marie a hysterectomy, where they scoop out the pussy and leave the box it came in.

Just buy a bigger house, how hard is that

The American Library Association recommends libraries throw non-fiction books out after 5 years unless heavily read or borrowed.
If heavily read or borrowed, they suggest replacing the books with a new edition when it comes out.
I only know about this because a local school in a poor school district redid their library according to yhese recommendations, and where complaing about how much it cost to run a library.

If he were hoarding books, he would have twenty or ghirty shelves more of them.

How retarded do you have to be to fall for an autistic trick like this? They're probably in cahoots with the (((publishers))) and make (((recommendations))) that conveniently make them tons of money. What a coincidence!

>ereader
>unequivocal faggot

Yes, I'm aware that they get rid of old books that are falling apart. Donate your old books to the library.

oh but it applies when it's someone "dangerous" like muh boi Peterson

I find people annoying that collect books then post pics of them as proof they are well read.

Don't knock it 'til you try it. Way fucking easier to hold in bed than a fatass hardcover, you can have hundreds/thousands of books on it immediately at hand, and e-ink readers still read as easily as books. I was completely sold on 'em once I tried it out.

enjoy your no books when society ends and electricity is gone

Because it's not about 'use'. It's just nice to keep things around if they mean a lot to you.

Ereaders are pretty based, particularly once you get accustomed to them.

>High school English should be all current YA.
Isn't that mostly just white men and women as well?

It would be cool if people read the classics from other cultures. But I don't think a 16 year old white kid would appreciate Romance of the Three Kingdoms much without the cultural context

I’ve heard people state this unironically do you really think that your copy of ready player one or Marcus arelius hardback are going to be worth jack shit if society collapses?

You never know when you might want to reread something. It's the same thing with DVDs, there's multiple times where I've thought "I wanna read/see that again" only to realize I sold it years ago so now I would have to go out of my way to buy it again because my tastes are so eclectic and esoteric you can't find shit in libraries. Never again.

>making notes is a mess
>can't have simple bookmarks

at least you would still be able to read them

Libgen

>bookviolence
No

Even without esoteric taste, the classics are often pretty rare too. Libraries tend to stock flavor of the month garbage and book shops sell off major titles quite quickly. Short of buying things online, you could go a few months before finding a copy of a top 100 book.

I've tried donating my books to libraries, charities and second-hand stores. They're not interested because nobody reads or buys books anymore. There are too many books and too little demand.

One of the big points of reading classics is that everyone else has also read them and reference them all the time. They get referenced in other works and just in casual conversation. People aren't talking about Daughter of Smoke and Bone in 2019.

It's almost like they're useless garbage.

this
found the retard. i keep my stacks around to impress normies so they think i'm well read. i mean i AM well read but people wouldnt know if i just fucking tossed all my books out. seriously people must think you're a dumbass when they're at your place and see no books around. they all giggle and whisper in eachothers ears about how user must be a big dumb brainlet.

Have you tried an actual book store? Where I live, they give you credit and will take 90% of what you drop off.

No but we will be discussing the Hate U Give for millennia

jesus christ. get some real literature for fucks sake you LITERAL redditor. im cringing right now. apply yourself and get redpilled ASAP.

All niggers i know are happy. Grumpy niggers are a thing of the 80s. This nigger isn't defying Kondo, he's defying the new norm.

They're much more important than just being casually referenced. They represent so much of our cultural history and identity.

Yes, I have. They want books by specific writers, less than 5 years old. Nothing else will sell.

This is in Norway though, litpleb central

Kek, I'd imagine Norway is one of those enlightened well read countries for some reason.

I live in Australia and my local book shop owner mentioned how certain classical authors just vanish as soon as he puts them on the shelf. It's the books that are less than 5 years old that he turns away most often.

Only buy books if you want to keep them around, and then they should be the highest quality you can afford. Otherwise, e-readers aren't bad.

The best books should not be kept on a shelf but given to others. Seeing as people mostly read garbage, it's becoming pretty hard to do so.

moron

really? I've re-read at least half the book I have ever read, which could be a couple of hundreds by now...

Those theoretical physics book should be used to wipe your ass since you can't put into practice most of the shit in there, right?

>one of the outstanding writers of the world
>literal nobody
Every time.

It's a fictionalized account of real events though.

without theory you have nothing to practice you baboon
you'd know that if you read a little

So it is an entire book of fake news.

Norwegians read nothing but murder mysteries and crime novels by two authors (Nesbo and Horst). The books always follow some washed-up alcoholic detective who almost dies. It's the capeshit of literature, and it's the only thing most people read. Fucking dreadful.

We have four major classical Norwegian writers (Ibsen among them), but I'd wager less than 10% of the population have read a single work of theirs. We're a nation of lazy literates.

He collects them in the hope that he might one day be able to read.

I guarantee you most people are like that in any country. You don't have to beat yourself up over it. Murder mysteries especially are popular everywhere, but at least Norway has their own versions of it rather than reading foreign authors which happens here.

Not him but yes, unironically

kek

How can you simultaneously need 7 books to last a few weeks yet still find entertainment in lowbrow shit like Palahniuk?

Nah, that's every country. My Boomer dad's addicted to crime novels. That or those Ludlum-type thrillers with a generic intelligence/military officer protag that must thwart a conspiracy before the book ends

Are you one of those people who subscribe to the "If I can't fuck it or eat it, it's worthless" school of throught?

>not going back and rereading something after you've grown and gained new perspective

What's the point of keeping a book if you are never going to read it

Theoretical physics is totally practical, broseph. I am rebuilding my warp core and tinkering with my flux capacitor as we speak.

>wasting your limited time on this planet reading stuff you have already read instead of experiencing new stuff
It's like watching the same movie multiple times

It dampens the echoes of an empty room and an empty life.

So much absolute dog shit trash has been printed. I guess it's natural for the medium with the lowest barrier to entry, but god damn are books almost worthless. I'd wager that the cultural and intellectual value of the written word has been stagnant for over 1000 years.

I read them one by one.

>he has people come to his house
Everyone get a load of this faggot

Exactly on it. I am about half done. So let's see what i can spoil for you. Tsurukawa dies, MC catches the headmonk with whores, gets told he won't inherit the temple.

>they all giggle and whisper in eachothers ears about how user must be a big dumb brainlet.
i fucking knew it those big motherfuck bastar motherfuckers son of a bitch i just had it in me mind and done did knew it AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Well Marcus Arelius yeah. Of course in a post-apocolyptic situation I guess everyone probably houses a stoic philosophy already so, maybe. Most likely.

You... Haven't gone back and watched a great film with a new perspective? What sort of brainlet are you?

How will having sex solve my sex addiction?

Life is too short and there are too many things to waste it on redundancy.

Every book collector things the same. I have a lot of books I haven't read in years but just can't throw away because of reason. That's why I've stopped buying physical books and do only e-books now.

Would you call that hair "nappy", Yea Forums?

And just like that, transferable culture dies a little more.

That's one perspective. Another is going into a work of art with little knowledge, coming back and realizing something new. Repetition creates masters. A jack of all trades is useless if a specialist comes knockin' 'round.

Are you a fucking priest?

Life actually isn't short enough to not absorb all the worthwhile culture, then sit twiddling your thumbs and revisiting favorites. It's called standards.

>Life is too short and there are too many things to waste it on redundancy.
Then what are you doing here?

I’ve read British mysteries, because some are very well written.
I realized Margery Allingham, basically described mind controlled sex slaves, raised from childhood as such, a couple decades before the MK Ultra was being done, and also linked it to very rich international criminal syndicates.
The 39 steps, the original book, also mentions stuff.

This is a really, really bad concept; it reeks of immaturity and general inexperience. If you are older than 20 god help you.

Waiting for my Bailey Jay torrent to download.

Did you just congratulate me for reading?

No, but I am an ordained minister funny enough. My perspective comes from helping my grandfather in his woodworking shop half my life. If there was something he needed fixing that wasn't woodcrafting related, he could do it, but if a professional was around by all means it was their job. This works the same way in artistry, a piece of art is a means to be perfect in the artist's way, but ultimately is never finished. A craftsman does good enough to finish and move on.

Is she retarded? Book shelves are literally one of the tidiest things you can have.

Fucking bug Japanese man.
