I read Herbert as Hilbert as in David Hilbert and thought she was based. Who the fuck is Herbert? Why would Bradbury be in the science section?
... Oh, you said science fiction, sorry I read that as science section, my brain accidentally just skipped over a word so I got confused.
I see it makes sense now.
Why the fuck would someone want a science fiction section though.
...
Oh my god, science-fiction. Jesus christ. Now it makes sense. I thought you meant science fiction as in fictional science, like I don't know raelly. I'm guessing you mean Dune Herbert? Yeah Dune sucks. Read Hilbert instead.

Based gf, the beats suck ass and you’re a faggot for liking them, Kerouac was pretty based irl though.
You should have a section for American 19th century transcendentalists

Ginsberg was a pedophile so it's not unfair to say "Fuck Ginsberg"
