>tf since I started buying second hand exclusively, and later started to pirate off of libgen, I've become painfully aware of how small and uninteresting even the biggest bookstore's selection is.

I get it- there's limited space and you want to maximize sales, but jfc. I'm pretty sure there's a standardized list of books+new releases.

It's sad too, because I used to love trolling bookstores for those hidden gems. Now it's just tedious.

No thanks, friendo. I'm gonna lose my self identity and become a throbbing cell of a slime mold when I die. Yes I am.

Also, question, Does that mean india is the first dudes who got it right? Before the greeks? I mean, their whole religion is based on the world repeating on phases.

i honestly could not give less of shit
is this the kind of shit you worry about?
if you want something spooky to think about, get ready for some shit:
every day hundreds of thousands of books are thrown away or otherwise lost... among those books are priceless first editions, rarities, unpublished manuscripts, the last copy of a forgotten masterpiece...
