Pseud cred, backlog issues, hoarder syndrome
I find it pseud and cringe af when people have tonnes of unread books on their shelves.
I have a friend who has an entire bookcase (upwards of 90-100 books) completely filled with great poetry and philosophy and he's read like 3 of them.
cringe and pseudpilled
the only books I keep are the ones I haven't read yet - why would you hold on to a book you've already read? Give it away or sell it.
Too depressed to read, and the stimulation of buying things helps me get by. Also, some of my books are there for reference purposes.
The Bakemonogatari bundle box
Tolstoy - The Gospel in Brief
Nabokov - Invitation to a Beheading
Zweig - The World of Yesterday
>Ham on Rye
it's like a dumbed down, even more self-important 1984
it's a book about anthropology by a dabbler who got his degree in biology. if you want that sort of subject matter, go for People's History of the US instead, which is by a marginally more respectable person
