Bairnardo Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Why do people treat books the way they do? Theres this thing where books have to be treated with respect and care, more so than any other form of media. Where does it come from?Theres absolutely zero throwaway culture with books. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duszek Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I went through my bookcase recently to decide which books I might ever read again. Everything else went to the book boxes around town, where people can basically help themselves. Seems much better than just hoarding books for the sake of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I'm very unpopular, for a variety do reasons, one of which is giving books away. I do it with books I bought myself, but because I pass these on, I make the assumption that other people don't mind if I do it with their books, they've lent to me. Then a few weeks later they ask for it back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I don’t have a bookcase, but I’ve got this. Will this cause P&B more problems than some of Michael Gove’s?... Sits back and prepares to ignore the incoming tsunami of scorn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Mines used to be as horrific as Chris’s but a spate of Zoom call slaggings and doing literally anything other than working from home has made me tidy it up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm thinking of the same photo I'm pretty sure that the zoomed in section was photo-shopped to make it look they were all dodgy titles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Very nice, organised shelves from NotThePars. Some interesting choices, with Mishima balancing out all the Commies, to a degree. It would be good to have at least one completely ridiculous ot of place book in there but we'll let you off as you said you'd just tidied them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
