How does this make you feel when you see shit like this?
Filled with sad loneliness that I will mask with anger directed at whoever uploaded the picture desu
Disappointed that I only see one good book.
>>7729486
It makes me feel nothing becaaue I don't know most of those authors/books
Only recognize Yeats and Nabby. The other books could be patrician shit afaik
>>7729495
The only reason that book is there is because she thought it was about a girl
Kek
The blind Assassin and In the Skin of a Lion are quite good. I don't know why you'd buy a Stat Can book, nostalgia for the good old long census days?
Her taste isn't top-tier, but that's fine. It's good enough. She's probably pretty smart.
I don't care because
>im not autistic
>don't use instagram
>don't follow LMAO BOOKS DUDE people
>don't care what other people read
>>7729486
Same as any of the daily /bookshelves/ threads we have on here.
>>7729486
Horny.
Nothing beats the sex with cute well boobed pseudo intellectual girls.
You can easily hook them pretending to have read joyce, if you're good looking enough.
Only bothers me if I have a connection with the person irl and even then I can squash the conversation by moving on to other subjects
apathy
couldn't even bring myself to read any part of the image to be honest
>>7729565
What if I've actually read Joyce and I'm only okay-looking?
>>7729490
This to be honest.
I'm so fucking lonely.

I'm the first person to feel illogical bouts of autistic rage at pleb bookshelves and even I'm okay with this. Nice Ondaatje.
Who keeps cookbooks at their bedside table?
Makes me want to titty fuck her 2bh
anyone who posts pictures of them reading or of their books on social media is a fucking insecure clown
>>7729486

She could just be a compulsive used book buyer. I have a bunch of random books that I only own because I was buying something else and saw it for like $1

It doesn't make me feel anything. I'm not an autistic surg or an angry virgin that that rages cause a girl takes a picture of some books.
Good on her I see a few well like two good books there I'm happy she's reading.
>>7730436
yikes
>>7729486
Charge your phone nigga damn
I'm interested in Stats Canada.
>>7729486
There's nothing too wrong here. I mean, there's a lot of pleb shit on there, but that could be said about 90% of people who claim to read, and at least she has some Atwood and Yeats in the mix. She's an average reader that's perhaps a bit too proud of herself.
Are you just sperging out because she's hot? Because that makes you look three times more pathetic. Just ignore. Or better yet, try to get into dem panties. Girls like this are usually very sexual and easy to seduce. They see sex with intellectual people as another one of their 'classy' fetishes, like cats, coffee, Moleskine notebooks, etc.
>>7730516
She's ugly
>>7730551
She's alright.
>>7730583
She has 3KG of makeup.

Don't act like you wouldn't do her, m80.

>>7730589

We all have to start somewhere. I just hopes she actually reads those books and isn't using them as props for a social media charade
>>7730632
What respect? She's sitting around taking pictures of cats and reading John Green.
just residual embarrassment when I'm reminded I'm canadian in 2015
>>7729486
nothing.
the only thing that really made me feel recently was a co-worker who claimed to be a genius, smarter than everyone else in the state, claimed to perform surgery on himself, claimed to have been diagnosed with one of the most rare mental illnesses ever, apparently wrote a novel in two weeks and other such tall tales. he also told me he was a sociopath, and i asked him "i know sociopaths are pathological liars, do you lie?" he stalled and then gave an ambiguous answer. after he was done with his literally 10 minute response to that question i asked him "i understand narcissism is a kind of sociopathy, are you a narcissist?" and again he stalled and gave a sort of non-answer in which he said he was offended some time in the past because a social worker said he had delusions of grandeur. he became really insecure, like his pleading gestures intensified and he started to sweat on his bald head and look me in the eye more. he told me he has accomplished a lot in his life and said he only had so much to offer in terms of proof, which i was apparently asking for. i said no, i didn't doubt his claims and no proof was necessary. he continued to push this point of accomplishment and proof. eventually our shift was over and i wished him a good day.
anyway when one of my other co-workers told me about this sociopathic genius that started working there i thought to myself and said, "oh man i am going to have FUN with this guy." like i thought he was going to be arrogant and assholeish. but after his responses to those couple questions i just felt bad for him, like really bad, because he was much more naive and innocent than i thought and i on the other hand was picking him apart and enjoying myself in the process. he was wrapped around my finger after the two quesitons i asked. when i came off my break he literally made a beeline to me from across the room and began defending himself and saying he had accomplished a lot in life.
i just felt so bad, for him and myself and the whole goddamn world. i have stopped questioning him and i just listen to him and try to be his friend even though other co-workers lose patience because in 'conversations' he endlessly talks about his own interests and ideas and never for a single moment asks anyone else about how they are doing or their interests etc. basically jesus fucking christ nobody prepared me for this feel.
>>7730755
sorry i was just usin 4chan as my personal blog
basically i questioned a self-proclaimed genius and although he's smart he's not self-aware and that made me feel bad for him, myself and the rest of the world

You're not this gullible are you? She must have spent at least 15 minutes setting everything just right for the picture. The whole point is to make it look like it's "oh this is just the way it looks normally teehee", like the whole style around looking like you're lazy about your appearance but actually put in effort to look like you're lazy about your appearance.

Has anyone read The Spice Merchant's Daughter?
>>7731090
Damn, it's a cookbook. There is some Guin and Yeats thouh.
>[T]hey are incapable of taking a purely objective interest in anything whatever, and the reason for this is, I think, as follows. Man strives in everything for a direct domination over things, either by comprehending or by subduing them. But woman is everywhere and always relegated to a merely indirect domination, which is achieved by means of man, who is consequently the only thing she has to dominate directly. Thus it lies in the nature of women to regard everything simply as a means of capturing a man, and their interest in anything else is only simulated, is no more than a detour, i.e. amounts to coquetry and mimicry.

I had to look up what coal burner meant. Sounds like a non-issue. People can have their own opinions. Engels was born to a bourgeois family, but still advanced the communist cause.

Feels good that even dumb people are reading nowadays. Better than being wholly illiterate like most people were for all of human history.

The Stats Can is a humour book, based on the satiric stats Canada Twitter account
>>7731439
Lolita.
But there is also another good book with Yeats poems.
I think it is a everyman's poetry edition or something, couldn't read.
>>7731218
Good.
If it's a natural book pile it's okay if not it's funny to me. I feel like it's deff set up. Especially for the lighting
i feel ... nothing
>>7729486
Total affect. This person is garishly co-opting symbols of the intellectual class as a form of self-promotion.
Makes me slightly annoyed
>>7729486
I have no interest in making other people feel stupid or small. I know what I like and I know why I like it. That's enough for me.

I dated a girl like this a while back and I can confirm. It's pretty painful.
Probably mad if I actually read books
Instagram is full of literary qts

Not too bad as far as these things go. Usually it's all YA, but the only YA I see there is a John Green book (there must be some rule about including at least one). There's other crap of course (e.g. Palahniuk), but that Brassai book looks interesting.
And I never knew Dom DeLuise had a book.
They don't actually read or understand most of these books you dumb cucks.

It's an antithesis to 4chan's ritual destruction and genesis of a group identity. Instead of the neurotic destruction of a group ego from the fluctuation of genuine and ironic ideas, tumblrina based on being the biggest egotist as possible. But it's wierd, because it isn't about a personal identity, it's all about a public identity within a group.
Think about it, fandoms are accepted readily as both an idea and a community into the stereotypical tumblrina's identity.
As are their personal suffering at the hands of institutions, which is incredibly important to their public identity and personal standing.
As are their ideologies, which many immediately become bitterly hostile whenever their ideologies are challenged. Such can easily be explained as ideology as a personal identity.
And lastly the need to effectively one-up each other on the limited progressive narrative with increasingly radical ideas, all the while making sure that again, these ideas are publicly expressed and excepted by the group at large.
Though really I think the porn community is much larger than the typical female counterweight to redditor spergs. It's just not as openly ridiculous.
>>7732195
I remember this image from years ago. God it's so shit.
>>7732419
>Though really I think the porn community is much larger than the typical female counterweight
A nice irony here being that the porn community as a whole networks and assists one another far more than tumblr community does.
>>7732438
Oh totally. They have their spats but they're way less cannibalistic and way more cooperative.
Shit, streams ran by content creators are often places of unadulterated reverence.

What is instagram even?
What is the point of it?
How is it different from facebook?
>>7732607
it's more like twitter for images than facebook.
fuck idk man it's all crap social media anyway
>>7732538
that, quite obviously, is a woppette.
>>7729486
I never before realised how little books people actually have. My house has more books than some libraries. The ironic thing is - I use muh ereader 90% of the time.
>>7732607
I'm so discussed by instagram and the fact that everyone has one. Probably that's why nobody loves me :'((
>>7732429
why?
>>7730641
I would fuck her, but I wouldn't masturbate to her.
>>7732713
I don't have an instagram. I barely know what it is, hence my question. The only time a girl told me she loved me was when she was very, very, drunk, and the next morning she said she didn't remember "anything she said" and somewhat defensively told me not to talk about it. That was two years ago and I've been all alone since.
But at least we have literature, right? r-right?
