Two years to read the stack at one a day. You ain't reading one book a day, m8. Most of your stack is statistically untouched

how else do you read then? on a computer? on those kindles with all the hassle of buying stupid shit and not knowing what to read? ill stick to my books. the day physical books die is the day the novel is dead, so might as well not read anything.

True.

Still, he ain't off the hook: the plebbitude isn't in the quantity, it's in the percentage of read books.

>0%
Maximum overpleb

> 0.01 to 15%
Collecting books to feel superior or because hoarder. Massive pleb.

>15% to 35%
Not necessarily a pleb, but far from patrician. Get reading

>35% to 50%
Not bad.

>50 to 75%
Patrician

>75 to 99%
Uber patrician or lying, which is even worse than collecting because at least book hoarders are like the english canon's equivalent of apocalypse insurance. Gigapleb.

>100%
Impossible if you're in progress on a book. Gigapleb liar or Plebesaurus Rex

You guys do know that you remember the content of physical copies better than digital ones, right?

Google allows you to highlight sections of digital versions and post annotations on the side. You can then click on the highlighted sections like a button and the annotations pop up. A similar feature also allows you to look up any word on a digital dictionary or research the word on any search engine. I'd rather not ruin my books with highlight marks or clumps of notepaper stored all over the book when features like these are available.

>ruin your books

What is this, some sort of notion that books last forever? Books fall apart, use them however you want. The point is, your brain's memory works best spatially, and physical books are conducive to spatial memory. eBooks are not.
