>relaxation aspect
It makes people look relaxed, takes away sense of urgency and shows them enjoying a very earthly thing. Same reason someone might feel more comfortable around others with a beer in their hand.
>masculinity
It's phallic nature makes it a very powerful, strong symbol.
>understanding that it's a vice
People know it's terrible to smoke, so smoking in front of people shows two things: that one is not shy about admitting their shortcomings or missteps to an/a individual/group and that there is an element of hubris, freedom and carelessness in the aforementioned person.

There is more, but I really have to get on the road. Hope my response was clear.

Definitely not vastly overpriced, but pretty pricey nevertheless.

I'm a member. I just buy an occasional book or two to add to my personal library collection. It's really more of a taste kind of thing. If you just want to read a book, do research, whatever, then just buy a cheap copy obviously. I just don't mind buying all their books. I love their covers, collections, and all the shit they give me in the mail, even the fucking catalog covers are awesome (just got the one on 'Expressions of War').

Honestly, it's about customer service, selections, and etc.

This thread is stupid.

Jezebel is a dumbshit website.

Also, sage all across this fucking thread.

Shut the fuck up you basic pleb. It is one book, and it's meant to be read as one book. If it wasn't you've be able to pick up a book of Ruth at B&N with your mocha latte.

>Cover to cover
How do you plebs even think books work? Would you try to read any other book by just reading selected passages and skipping back and forth between chapters, and then go on to have the audacity to claim that you've read the book?

Really, what the fuck do you even think you're doing?

Maybe you're just too pleb to read the Bible son.

>Implying that you can't just go off into the wilderness and have your own hut and grow your own food

I would love to live off the grid myself but unfortunately I've completely addicted to the internet pornography and I can't stop.

I think this is a great way for people from /lit/ and all of 4chan to interact and share interesting things with each other.
