What paragraph are they talking about?

>>23296955
The context of the novel and the film imply the latter, since firstly Bateman fucks the prostitutes in HIS apartment, and secondly that Bateman engages in performative consumerism and commodity fetishism in the same ways Chunko Pop collectors do. Bateman's tastes are normally towards luxury items, anything that demonstrate can his wealth, rather than cheaper infantilising nostalgia toys, but arguably it could be analogous to Bateman's collections of Huey Lewis and the News, Whitney Houston, or the later Genesis albums, which is appropriate since in this moment in the movie he's blasting Sussudio by Genesis on the speakers.

Yeah, I thought they shut up about the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft when it came out they were doing fucked up shit like trying to use testicle transplants (which failed and lead to castration 100% of the time and sometimes death) to transfer homo/heterosexuality.

Then again, they get away with having someone like John Money as the founder of their ideology so...

>they don't know people who do this tend to create nice little bookstores after awhile
Seriously though, what do you mean by hoarding? We're pushing over 2,000 books in the house, but our intent was to build a family library that covers a wide array of subjects for the kids. It worked, although I'm realizing we're still missing a fair amount of books and subject matters, and that seriously helps when you're home schooling.
We relied heavily on the library while growing up, but the last decade has been poor management. We both disagree with much of the public library's curation decision, especially after seeing Jules Verne removed in favor of some no-name hacks with no discernable talents outside of making a lot of noise.

>>23299225
>>23300076
It's a bookstore.

>>23300446
No one buys books anymore, so they sell things people actually buy. Like devices to trick their brains into releasing even more serotonin. A bookstore is a business, not some kind of charitable pursuit

>>23300478
>NO ONE CARES ABOUT BOOKSTORES SELLING BOOKS
>LET THEM SELL ANAL PLUGS AND ANTI-BACTERIAL SPRAY FOR THEIR DILDO LINE!
Lol.

>>23300303
i mean hoarding in the literal mental illness sense. buying books of no worth to you (or frankly anyone) just because they're cheap, to fill some psychological void or whatever, and not being able to stop even after you have no space for them. there's nothing wrong with having a nice home library of curated titles of course, no matter how many there are.
a public library getting rid of jules verne sounds so ridiculous, wtf

>>23300507
>KIDS & TOYS

>>23299178
Neither of those books has much of what you'd call flowery language.

>>23300507
I haven't been to a bookstore that doesn't exclusively sell used books in 20 years. Why the hell would anyone ever go to one of these places?

>>23300528
>>23300565
Heather married rich and used her husband's money to buy up all the mid-sized bookstore chains. Once this was complete she rebranded Chapters to Indigo, because she needed a name that sounded more wine-aunt I guess, and had a physical monopoly that was only broken by the rise of Amazon.

>>23299050

Does he really think this? Man, what a way to find out Dosto's a fucking idiot. How do you go through your whole life and write dozens of great novels and never ever once make peace with death?

>>23300303
Hey man, nothing wrong with creating a library for yourselves and the kids. (I'm one of the people you were responding to)

I really do consider it hoarding for hoardings sake if there's no goal outside of it. But you clearly have a goal in mind. I'm sure a lot of those are read too? I came off a bit strong there but it's also understandable not having read the whole collection. (especially when you consider shit books you're gifted from time to time)

My favorite part is when they have a footnote next to "rod" and say 'gay'; then again with "mast" or some such and again say 'gay' and then finally the word "trap" appears and the footnote is just 'no comment'.

I hope one day /lit/ annotates another public domain work. Moby Dick was a hoot to read.

>>23300518
>>23301165
You're both okay, I get what you mean. I just feel bad for people who are like that. I didn't really take offense, I was just curious about if the "hoarding" comment was actual hoarders or if it was a rhetorical statement about anti-materialism or such. A good chunk of the books we have are read, I have a lot of family members who have varying interests. Oddly, most of the unread ones are the "newer" fictional stuff (Young Merlin / Lost Years of Merlin, Artemis Fowl, etc.) whereas the good stuff looks pretty clearly read (Bradbury's, Verne, etc.)

>>23301179
The stay of execution, you mean? I don't buy for a second that a man killed by robbers doesn't ever lose hope, just because people try wild shit when they're cornered doesn't mean they haven't given up in their heart "which makes it ten times easier to die"
He didn't even die, his certainty of death was much less than the hypothetical man whose throat has already been cut to whom he alludes.
When I read him on man's existential horror in fiction, I read him as a guy who's been through it and is out the other side feeling compassion for everyone else still in it. This is implying he's STILL in denial about death, STILL unwilling to make peace with absolute mortality. And he has this outlook even as a devout Christian with a promise of a just and blissful resurrection awaiting him. It's disappointing.

>>23298100
That faggot and the other stupid kike and all of their eceleb worshiping faggots are actively ruining this board.

>>23301957

>>23299240
So vastly overrated. I'll never understand why people always repost this one, it's a 6/10 at best.

>>23301151
>>23301823
Not merely a stay of execution, but a firing squad with their rifles loaded and "called off" at the last second in a pre-planned exercise. You are really bending over backwards to defend your initial dismissal of his statement.

>>23301823
I don't think you realize how emotionally extreme it is to sit in a prison, largely by yourself, knowing the exact date and time of your execution. The Japanese don't even tell the condemned their date.

>>23302021
>The Japanese don't even tell the condemned their date.
Sounds stressful. I've heard cartels and islamic terrorists also run mock executions to call off at the last minute to make the person so complacent and defeated that, alongside all the drugs, make it a surprise to the victim when it's the real deal.
