Please, do not mix this sins against taste. Of course megadeth is ubershit, but you can stay decent person if you listen to it, but if you are potter fan, that's like too far man.

Why does the tunnel and recognition get memed so much . no one actually likes those books here
>>
>>8023883
they get memed because they're long and "difficult." To say you have read Gaddis or Gass is like saying, "I'm smart. I'm smart."

What the hell even happened to Capsguy anyways.

One minute he was reading every single Russian and French tome and being ridiculous about his not reading women writers and then bam...disappeared into the ether.
