Liar. I didn't take the picture, my boyfriend posted it on a /lit/ shelf thread a week ago and that's where I fell in love with him. Something about the way he wrote in his post is just the cutest thing. Here is another one of his shelf, this time with a bit of humour injected into it. I liked this one even more.

Aside from the aesthetics of it and the affirmation-seeking of it, posting a shelf also gives a general impression of a person's school of thought or extended milieu of influence. You can look at a person's shelf and roughly estimate what their broader interests are and what their opinions might be and which writers or thinkers they might admire. To post a seriously put together shelf is to reveal your soul.

I would suggest a secondhand bookshelf made in the era of men building things out of pine, timber or hardwood. And they would put the effort into proper joinery instead of a cheap Chinese construction made from processed recycled cardboard.

Do cigarettes have that packaging in America as well, or are you in Europe?

ciggies in america have normal branding with a black band and white litter warning, but it's not visible on the front of the pack when for sale on the shelf at a gas station or wherever.
