Ive read all his tom clancy books, clancy and RR tolkien were grandfathers favorite fiction authors so I read them pretty religiously

As to his non fiction that is a stack higher than my house and I havent been up there since a couple years after he passed

Been busy with work

Dad gave me a really nice edition of the hobbit with a personal foreword from himself to me on the inside cover

Nice

that makes me smile

and all my books are in storage in Oregon

Books are severely underrated these days

Ever read Shade's Children?

I have not

neither has anyone on the planet but me

I have a book on the spanish american war that has vellum maps in it

fucking disgustingly underrated Garth Nix novel

Im afraid to touch it tbh

Its like a 400$ book xD

get some sterile gloves, that'll ease the tension

I have like 3 books

I think our family bookshelf had about 30 books total

That saddens me

My dad has hundreds my mother in law has a single bookshelf

"Women generally buy more books"

The only thing I have every really disagreed with JP on

I have like 500 downloaded books tho

I like having both digital and physical copies

again, who the fuck is going to look at a hard drive and feel pride

most if not all my books are fiction

Dude I am in an apartment. I have half of.it

I couldn't fit 50 books here much less 500

There is something cathartic about sitting down with an actual book and a glass of blackheart under my reading lamp

Wtf is Blackheart?

Spiced rum

Oh. Never actually seen rum

I tend to drink store brand black tea when I read

What are they titled? "The benefits of Communism", "Communist states that worked" @Jokerfaic

its a similar experience getting drunk on shine and shooting at the neighbors

the only non-fiction book I can think of that I have is this absolute gem
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51IbI1z9haL._SX258_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg

this one book was infinitely more valuable to me than all my years of Oregon education

I think joker is an almost socislist not a communist

I'm a recovering progressive

Joker has good economic ideas

If anything
