Hey, i'm >>871484 and you don't need to buy anything for me, kay?
But just lemme ask you something: Why do you do this?

I do it because I think that people should be kind to one another. I have some extra money and instead of spending it on myself I should buy others things.

Your attitude amazes me, really. I'm a pretty individualist person, people like you make me think: "How i am a bad motherfucker."
But, you know. Life is tough;being individualistic is my shield to protect people from hurting me.

It's more than enough actually. It makes me feel great knowing that I brought even the smallest amount of happiness to others.

>> No.871531

I know nobody's going to buy me one, but I just got back into reading after a 2 year video game trip-out. There is a lot of classics on my list I have never read, but being jobless at the moment I have no way of purchasing anything. If anybody feels like helping out a lover of lit, hook me up :p

I have 0 dollars in my bank account or I would :x Getting laid off and having to pay bills still really doesn't help towards my reading collection :(

I've joined paperbackswap.com and gotten a few books off it so far, The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett, and the His Dark Materials Omnibus by Phillip Pullman, but the selection there is wanting. They don't even have A Game of Thrones available :(
