Clearly a juxtoposition beween real trolls preparing for rape, and OP's half-hearted trolling failing horribly .If this was intentional, well done.

No, it is not. I mean, it'd be fine, if it were just the HP books. But no, you have like 20 more reference books on the subject.

Manga is not "a book," it is a sign of a weeaboo.

And Twilight?

>> No.459584

>>459556
Last time I checked manga was a book. It has covers and pages and words. I don't see why people piss all over themselves if someone owns it.
The only thing I see wrong with your bookcase OP is the Meyer shit on the bottom.

I'm far from a weeabo, I just like anime and manga. :)

And there is nothing wrong with the Harry Potter stack. The bottom two are paperbacks anyways.

If you put shit on the shelf other than books, then you make it difficult to access books.

there's a really cool book by Stephen Powers/ESPO but I can't think of the name right now. A buddy had it and it pretty much ruled. I think i read that he won the MacArthur grant a few years ago. weird.

Thank you. I shall. Brace for second-person narrative.

You were only a child, of course, so you can be forgiven for that--adults would be expected to hold back their impulses in such a situation. But, the times being what they were, you were so overjoyed at finally being able to invite friends over to celebrate the grand opening of your new treehouse that you just couldn't help yourself. The excitement was too much. Before you knew it you looked down and--sacre coeur!--there was your copy of Our Universe, bobbing demurely in a pool of urine.
