“The great ones are great, the not great ones are a little tedious.
I’ve been on this quest to read a bunch of the books I bought and never got to. Because after reading them, I can usually donate/recycle/trash most of them.
Honestly, I’ve been leaving most of them in a little free library on the college campus near my apartment.
Little free libraries are kind of hilarious. Do you ever look in one regularly? It’s almost entirely shit. Not even shit like, “This is stuff I don’t want to read.” Shit like, “This is shit NOBODY wants to read.”
Because mine’s on a college campus, tons of books with that little spine label that says USED, black letters on yellow sticker tape. You know the one. Whoever designed and sells that tape must have made a fortune. This is a secret billionaire in the book-selling business. Make a label, have them printed in bulk in China, then make a fortune. That’s been THE college bookstore label for like a couple decades, at least. There must be millions of these things. “
