OP why didn't you post the much superior followup article of said white dudes melting the gently caress down over being profiled http://the-toast.net/2015/05/13/my-favourite-deleted-comments-from-the-white-dude-book-list/ ps extreme lol at the people proud that they don't read books itt

Didn't read through the entire list, but a quick scan reveals that "There's a Monster at the End of this Book" is not on the list. That's a book everyone should own I don't even care about your race/gender.

what's the point in owning books anymore? Anything you can't get an electronic version of just borrow from the library.
