I bet you thought you were really funny when you typed "onions wojak" into google image search, opened it in ms paint, dragged the right border a little farther out, google image searched "book shelf", copied the first result and then pasted it into your ms paint project

Book collecting is literally not even a real thing unless its expensive / collectable / antiquarian editions of classics or specofic libraries.

Literally anyone can buy all of a certain authors work in paperback and not have to spend a big amount of money
