Anyone else afraid to read because they sometimes get sweaty hands in the summer heat and it stains the pages?

I sometimes feel like i'm much too concerned about the wellbeing of my books. How do I get around this?

Good/shelf copy, $4 reading copy. Problem solved nigger.

>> No.2934581

Yes, I know that feeling and I've found a solution.

Buy two copies.

One for reading, one for show.

Yes, I have OCD and I don't give a fuck what you think.

My dear boy, the physical shell of the idea is practically all that matters.

It's all about the ghost man, the shell is just for show.
I never thought I would get a chance to use this image.

I'd say a good half of my shelf isn't available on electronic formats. The same half would be pretty expensive to replicate with two physical copies.

Aesthetics, my dear boy, it's all about the aesthetics of the damn thing!

Where would our civilization be if we didn't care about that mere "shell"?

>> No.2934604

I wouldn't have spent half a year looking for a bookshelf if I didn't care about flaunting my tastes and openly admiring my collection.

The fuck? I become the physical shell of the idea.

Wear gloves, or become a nihilist,
it doesn't really matter which.
Personally I love when my books get damaged, it means they have been read and loved.

What is we only cared about what was inside the shell?
Or what if we could change the shell easily enough so that no one ever has to care about aesthetics again and fully focus on important things.

Damage isn't the same as gnarly horrible looking sweat marks that make you look like a fucking autist neckbeard who doesn't shower.

Not my fault it's 105 in the shade.

I ruined my copy of TAZ reading it in the Summer while sunbathing. Dirty wrinkled sweaty book.
