I once accidentally bought a book which said at the bottom of the cover: "The scope of it was immense. Barack Obama'. Sad

I'd argue the picture is even worse than giving it to a woman. A woman may read or not doesn't matter, but putting those stickers defiles the book. These things are not comparable

I agree with the tweet, which is a first.
>>20857047
I disagree. I recently got my gf into reading by giving her books I thought she might like. She's gone from reading nothing for five years to reading at least 15 pages a day. I'm quite proud.

The third worst thing you can do to a book is censor it, so nobody can read it fully.
The second worst thing you can do to a book is ban it, so nobody can read it legally.
The worst thing you can do to a book is convince people that it is evil, so nobody even cares to read it in the first place.

because the only books that become "tiktok sensations" are the blandest romance novels that can be read in an hour so that the girls who haven't picked up a book since they were 11 don't get bored and can think of themselves as intelligent.
