Nobody wanted this. If you threw out all the trash literature you have, your shelves wouldn't be any bigger than anyone else's in any other shelf thread. Grow up and put away the pulp and the sci fi and the fantasy novels. If I saw this at someone I knew's house or office, I would lose all respect for them immediately.

you're bit a pseud anon and you wear books as an identity more than anything else. sure you "like" reading sometimes, but you what you like more is for people to know and appreciate how literary and intellectual you are.

but it doesn't really work out IRL so you try to seek gratification on an ethiopian water music imageboard instead.

try to divorce what you consume (i.e. reading) from your identity. it's no different than watching TV, listening to music, etc., and than obnoxiously parading what you consume as who are you

spend more time reading and less time posting/talking about reading. develop your own taste. if it doesnt work maybe you just dont like reading that much and it's ok. just read what you find fun and don't treat it as the primary aspect of your identity. find another hobby.

All the sci fi, all the fantasy, all the detective books, all the genre, all the popular fiction. It's all trash.
There's nothing inherently wrong with science fiction and fantasy, but it never weighs up, ever. It's always aesthetically and intellectually worse than literary fiction, and the only near-exceptions I can think of are literary books that happen to have sci-fi-ish settings and aren't really part of the genre. I don't happen to see any of those on your shelf either. Your whole library is lowbrow to the core.
Take a hint fron the construction of the book: they print those titles as mass-market paperbacks because they're absolute pulp

Okay so its the "just because" argument of the literary establishment

>popular fiction

What is that? Do I have YA teen romance novels? Do I have Star Wars or Star Trek novels? What?

>and the only near-exceptions I can think of are literary books that happen to have sci-fi-ish settings and aren't really part of the genre.

lol when the literary elite try to have it both ways. There's actually quite a few of those sorts of novels in there, the fact that you can't see them is quite telling.
You need to stop reading the big broadsheet newspaper literary reviews.

I don't have a book shelf. I have a book box. I read a book and I put them in a box neat and tidy out of the way but arranged and accessible if I need them. This is how you know I am a man who actually reads for pleasure and not a woman/homosexual who reads for vanity and social status.

I'm always astounded by these extensive bookshelves. There's a tremendous breadth of ideas, situations, and cliches in someone's head after having read such a number of fiction books that I really envy anyone who has. You'll never actively be aware of how the ideas shape your thoughts, but the effect is profound. I need to read so much more, from pulp fiction to high literature. I'll be able to make time for it soon, luckily I have a hearty stack to chew through.
