I am experiencing existential dread. Hold me Albert Camus, hold me.

yeah a la recherche du temps perdu has a pretty low readability to totally probably impressing people when they spot it on your bookshelf ratio, you gotta go for things that people are gonna recognize enough to know how smart you areHelical Nightmares posted:Speaking of, no Fear and Loathing?

Cyberball 2072 posted:I have two of those? But I don't have all 77, or 77 books at all, I do have a copy of Doom; Knee Deep in the Dead, however. I've always wanted go re-read the adventures of Fly and Arlene in SLC, but I imagine they don't hold up well. I think that list is definitely overestimating how many people, men specifically, actually own books.
