is what happens when you walk into a nigga's house and they have a shelf full of bullshit to look erudite

no cap

>he doesn't revisit passages from time to time
you must be reading shit books OP

>>19234845
Having a huge library is based as fuck. It sparks conversations and you can lend them to friends or your spouse and kids can read them. OP is a fag.

>>19234862
Conversation yes but screw lending books. I know only one person who I can trust to not break the books spine, or blunt papers edge, or worse, return with stains the book to me

>>19234887
Or never get it back.
Besides that point, I only ever bought books because I figured I’d make my sons read them. Alas I still have no sons at 25. Sad.

I have a child but I don't know where
He has a father he'll know when 16
I never met his mother, it was divine conception
I don't know why it should even be

I work for the public library and we don't take donations.

>>19234923
I have lived in a few cities where libraries don't take donations. They really should if the books are halfway decent, as a form of engagement if nothing else. I literally have no reason to go to the library except to dump my expensive copies of autism, so if they don't take them then it's their loss (but not really because they don't give a shit and have unwarranted budgets to buy whatever gay shit their employees want).

Don't want my books? Good, I'll give them away on craigslist. Meanwhile you become an increasingly irrelevant institution that people associate with homeless bums, public libraries as we know them probably won't exist in 2070. Point being that not accepting donations is a symptom of the overall cultural rot, if you don't want people to give you books or be involved with general good will toward your organization, people will lose faith in your importance. The library is no longer the place of public knowledge, it's a dump full of drunk homeless niggers and corny white women with useless degrees. This is saddening to me but it can't be helped, there are no brakes on this train.

Yeah libraries are gay and lame. Used book shops are still cool though.

>>19234958
My favorite used book shop has operated since the 70s and is staffed by some clueless eccentric boomer, they never sell any books and I have no idea how they stay open but god bless them.

>My books are my most prized possession.

>>19234862
My piano teacher lent me a book called Fromless by Carol Wilkinson. He then died before I even started it. Still have the book, and his free bookmark sits on page 15

>>19234963
Have the same thing up here. Except the boomer lady sells drugs.

>>19234963
I've got one of those here as well (the guy is in fraternitas saturni I think so I've kept my distance from the shop; don't have a problem with the occult, but FS in particular is giving me the heebie-jeebies)
