She's a big girl.

I do this all the time with trades.
I also draw in the margins.
You're being autistic.

>>3467454
FOR YOU

lmao I just #crakd the spine on my copy of #ParadiseLost
If your books don't look #abused when you're done with them, you clearly didn't read them closely.

/tv/ pls go

Penn Jillette tears pages off of books as he reads them so the book gets smaller.
WHYYYY.

There are plenty of people on /lit/ who will tell you that their books look as good as new when they're done reading them. I am one of them. It really grinds my shit when I lend someone a book I really enjoyed only to have it returned completely abused. If I borrow a book I make a point of returning it in the shape I got it in. It has nothing to do with your comprehension of the book. It's almost a kind of courtesy to the author and the publisher for putting out such a wonderful work. Destroying books or not, it has nothing to do with anything. It's just personal taste. Get over it, and get in that fine piece of ass.

>>3467487
awright that got to me
Penn's a dickchest anyway

>>3467504
I won't wreck someone else's book but my own paperbacks i don't give a fuck

>>3467508
I disagree,but yeah that pissed me off.

>>3467487
>free market capitalist is being dumb as shit

>>3467514
>He's an atheist
>He's a libertarian

That's all you fucking need. Everything he opines, especially in this blog thing is just following these very simple principles. Other than his magic he's completely boring.

>>3467448
>spine of book is ruined; like Bane breaking Batman's back

Bravo.

>>3467532
I'm not watching the video. Atheist libertarians are dickheads? Huh, would have fooled me.

>>3467551
It's not really my point, there's no reason to his rants because they're just the logical conclusion to current events if you assume these two things to be true. Every time, he has no insight of his own ever.

those throwaway paperbacks are kinda designed to do that, skip

>>3467559
Good.

The "cutie pies" are so rarely reading anything good. The best I've come across is One Hundred Years of Solitude.

>>3467551

I thought it was Christian libertarians.
Possibly it's just right-wing libertarians.

I couldn't give a shit about the physical state of my books or any book for that matter. The idea that pages bound are sacred has always been hilarious to me.

Nevermind the well-being of that book, how many greeeeazy NYC subway handrails did that girl touch
before putting her fingers in her mouth?

>>3467465
I appreciated this.

You at least made one person laugh

>>3467465

>>3467448
But OP, for books, getting read is part of their plan.

>>3467697
Not so much sacred,I just think it's wasteful. Once you get done reading a book it should be given,donated,traded,lent, etc.
Books aren't expensive anymore but it's just "A Thing" for me to not ever purposely destroy a book. I know it isn't the most logical thing to get pissed about.

>>3467532
Whats wrong with Atheism?

>>3467551
>some guy who happens to be 2 things that conflict with my idealogies? Guess I don't even need to ever see or hear him to know he's an idiot.
could you be any more a child? I can hear your frustration from here.

Tony Harrison is a qtπ?

>be in university library
>feeling horny and confident
>no girls around
>effeminate gay guy sitting nearby
>look up at him and smile

>look down to my book biting my lip and blushing
>do this multiple times until he keeps looking at me, obviously wanting to talk
>pack my things and put my coat on with my ass turned to him
>bend down to zip up my backpack
>walk past him with him looking at me
>run my fingers along the back of his neck
>walk home and fap

...Ah reckon.

Is /tv/ overflowing with so much shit that they need to come here and do the same?

The virginity is strong in this one

Sex could be interesting but I don't imagine I'd have much fun being kicked around by those hambeast legs of hers during our postcoital nap.

>>3468192
Nothing as long as you're an agnostic atheist.

>>3468192
What's wrong with simplifying complex shit?

>>3468192
Why are you asking me?

>>3467532
>Other than his magic he's completely boring.

For some reason this sentence amused me. I mean, being MAGIC is a pretty significant redeeming quality in terms of interestingness.

>>3468192

Oh, I don't know.

>>3468834
If he'd figure out a way to blend them sure

>>3467637
I saw a qtπ reading Nooteboom on the Tube recently. I didn't say anything, because approaching strangers on the Tube is a heinous breach of social etiquette, but it was nice to have something to fantasise about during my journey.

>>3468841
>a heinous breach of social etiquette

In such archaic places where people ride "the Tube", sure. In Adult World, it's normal to be able to interact with anybody you want to, even strangers.

>>3468861
>All cultures are identical

>>3468822
>Sex could be interesting

Stay casual, mouthbreather. Sex is pleb as fuck

>>3468861
In America maybe, British social decorum makes such an approach ill advised

>>3468861
>it's normal to be able to interact with anybody you want to

Sounds awful.

>>3468861
Ridiculous patriotism aside, in what way is the archaism of a place, adulthood and "The tube" connected?

>>3468892
>looking this seriously into a joke

>>3468893
It's not a joke if it's just a series of unrelated remarks.

>>3468897
To Americans, that's a joke. The mysteries of 'humor'.

>>3468906
That goes a long way towards explaining their media in general.

>>3468837

combine fail
they used science to get science
not religion to get science

But OP, I see you surreptitiously snapped the photo of her before she bent the book upon itself....
what were you going to try and prove here? That girls can read?

>>3467448
>like Bane breaking Batman's back
>not making a reference to Fist of Legend instead
This is the kind of nerdy I can't get behind.
