Lend him one.

Btw, an interior design class would probably do him well.

OP has a hipster hat, yet you managed to be even gayer than him

congratulations

Gay because I like well put together interiors, instead of shitty thrown together crash pads?

Oh, I forgot we were 12.

accept that he doesn't read books, see movie, profit.

I remember being 12 and renting my first thrown together crash pad. Then settling down when I was 13, and thinking more about interior design for when we had dinner parties. Those were the days.

Not care, because a BOOKshelf doesn't neccesarily have BOOKs on anymore. DVDs, games, etc.

I don't like the way he has games like system shock, grim fandango and golden eye facing outward instead of getting all his games so their spines face outward. He seems a bit of a tool

>> No.1615492

No-one reads books anymore OP...they only pretend they do

>> No.1615495

If it were me, I'd immediately ditch him.
I only make friends with people I can respect as intellectual equals.

>> No.1615501

Anyone who would even notice the fact that there were no books on that shelf, let alone have a problem with it, is a massive faggot who takes himself way too seriously.

Reading books doesn't make you superior to everyone else. Reading is a hobby. No more, no less.

Console yourself with the fact that he has impeccable taste in games.

Get the fuck off this board.
Ah who am I kidding, this board is entirely made up of stupid vacant shitheads like you.
I'll be going now.

I don't care about whether or not he has books, but SHIT HE HAS THE SAME COUCHES AS ME.

I'm just passing by /lit/. I live on campus too. Back at my folks house I have a bookcase with four shelves filled with books (mainly nonfiction because I am an ass burger).

On campus I only have three books
>Clarkson: Don't Stop me Now (a book about cars by Jeremy Clarkson
>How to speak Japanese
>The Housekeeper + The professor (One of the few fiction books I read,but mainly because there is lots of IRL math in it. Still haven't finished it yet even though its only 200 pages b/c I am lazy)

My point being your friend probably left all his books at home.

Probably this. However as you're implying book recommendations, I'd probably recommend some sci-fi or fantasy given that he's a computer game nerd- Ender's Game, House of Suns or something similar maybe (tbh these genres aren't my strength).

Seeing as you're Australian though, how about something by J.M. Coetzee, Peter Carey, Tim Winton or Thomas Keneally.

ALMOLST CORRECT!

All his books are in a plastic tub in his bedroom

and they are all "young adult fiction" because "most adult fiction is boring and slow" the only Adult books he has are all the Dexter books
