Nonsense of course you don't.

The one time I had an actual proper bookmark I ended up ripping it into quarters to make 4 book marks... I had never though I would read more than one book at once.

But seriously that is a try hard bookmark.

It's the bookmark equivalent of those housewives and young girls who buy those gaudy leather covered books from barnes and noble because they want to appear cultured.

That is what you'd look like with it.

Okay, I just painstakingly searched character for character in the Wikipedia "Cyrillic script" page and found out that it's probably Bulgaria, because Бенчо Обрешков (Bencho Obreshkov) was a Bulgarian painter.

In fact, I just found pic related on an Italian blog.

They did a Grey's, which I bought for rather cheap. I wouldn't have got it, but my student's copy of Snell's was falling to pieces.

I think it look quite nice, and it is perfectly practical for reference, although I will admit the Iliad and Odyssey is downright horrible, but it was a good idea when I bought it,

A few of them look alright,
But the worst thing is that if you get more than one of them, they clash, they're so busy and half of them are public domain.

I'd go with one or two, (I actually like the look of the asimov's) and space them apart on the shelves.
But that's just me and my OCD, I like organizing my shelves.

You are on an anonymous image board famous for its denizens lack of social skills, asking for friends in the least endearing manner possible, spilling your overly emotional guts and being insecure about your sexuality.

Look at yourself, man, anyone would laugh at you!

[Alex No.3719499]

>>3719493
Sorry to burst your bubble, jerk, but I am quite comfortable with my sexuality. My honesty is something I only wish others would emulate. We need honesty in the world and I am doing everyone I speak to a favor by not putting on a facade. Who he meets is who he gets.

I'm not asking for friends. You're the saddest man I've ever known.
