Walmart bookcase shelves are usually only finished on one side. Anyways, flipping it over is a short term solution; eventually the shelf will just give out and break. You can shore it up now by just screwing a solid piece of wood (like a 1x2) to the bottom of the shelf.

(It was joke/strategy. I average three hater (you)’s any time I post a stack or shelf so I figured that if I write that posting shelves is gay, then it wouldn’t be contradictory for someone to agree with this opinion, and there is no way in fuck that one of these haters would post agreeing with me so they would just sit this one out. I’m still working on it but it’s coming together)

These look like it's the same person. This is probably a "section," but I think it's very cool that your section on Classics is so well shaped out. I have found that if you don't specialize or at least take time to really dig deep, you end up just getting different flavors of the same bits of life wisdom.

Most impressed by Seinfeld book. I didn't know such a publication existed and will surely come to seek it out.

It's Kon, so the art is good, the paneling and the transitions keep the reading fluid and visceral, the characters have at least implied depth, and the themes and world have that uniquely Kon imaginitive streak. If you decide to read it, keep in mind that all the ideas were fresh at the time. This precedes Adaptation and, of course, everything else by Kon. But yeah, it's pretty great; that we never got to see where it could have gone will be one of the many tragedies of his death.
