Date: September 21st, 2024 11:46 AM Author: Amber Pisswyrm Pervert there's a mix of true classics (e.g. beowulf, sherlock holmes), some recent classics everyone likes if they've read them (confederacy of dunces, bonfire of the vanities), some bullshit pop-intellectual books (tipping point, freakonomics), some 'high-brow' novels i'm not convinced anyone actually likes (rabbit, house of leaves), scattered nerd shit, fedora cringe, and some things i can't quite place (did any dude actually read the girl with the dragon tattoo or tuesdays with morrie? are they good?). including tucker max and other meme books that were big in the early internet period really dates the author. i'm surprised fucking maddox didn't make it. weird list. would be wary of any guy whose bookshelf looked like this.
