Oh man. I’d love you to judge my bookshelf. I have a bunch of half read fiction books from popular authors as well as short story compilations, I have a bunch of Harry Potter books (1-5, 6 and 7 came out when I was in college, and this was pre JK Rowling being a dick), some classics and nursery rhyme children’s books, a couple of George Orwell’s, a bunch of Rhode dahls, and then… I have books about the patriot act, about blackwater (the military contractor running wild in the Middle East), some anarchist writings, some hustle culture design related books (I tried…), a Hebrew Bible and some books about Judaism (I was raised Jewish and am ethnically Jewish), books about art history, and then a bunch of snowboard and skateboard magazines.
If you're actually reading any books at all, that places you above 99% of American households.
That makes me so sad
