I LOVE doing this. I relish it! I hate when you get one of those really desiccated cheap used paperbacks where the binding glue has gone all brittle and it falls apart when you try to pull this move, because there is something that feels very comfortable and very right to me about holding a paperback with the front cover bent back

Who gives a fuck about any of this shit? A book is just a thing to read, it's not a fucking holy object. If you fuck it, go and buy another copy if you want to read it again. They're a part of mass-production, bros.

God I fucking hate it. I hated it back in school when people would borrow pens and never return them and it would reach that awkward point of trying to demand it back without seeming a dick.
