It’s a good thing, I tell myself.  I can revisit books I’ve read years past, and enjoy them almost as much as I did the first time.  And I’m forever going “Ohhh, THAT’S why that person did The Thing!” because I blew past it in the 1st, 2nd, 5th reading or whatever.

I would do something horrible to anyone who damaged my books. As it is, I won’t lend out any of my books since I’ve had a few never come back, including a book that was out of print and hard to find (at that time). 

Surprisingly enough a firm, “No. We are nice to our books, books are our friends and if you rip them you’ll be sad because you won’t have anything to read anymore!” works fantastically. I take it Momoa wasn’t raised in a reading family.

Came here to start with Oh my god, then explain my upset, but you did it so well and I’m glad you’re first comment I’ll just say Oh my god.

Don’t destroy books.

Given the fact that I read books over and over and over (I read incredibly fast but have low retention), I would straight up bitch slap him into next week (and then run as fast as I could for a panic room or whatever).

What the fuck. Girl, you deserve better.

I would murder this person, and be completely justified in doing so. Don’t fuck with my books!

When my grade 2 class went on a trip to the school library for the first time, the librarian asked if anyone in the class could do the splits. One girl could, and demonstrated for us. The librarian told us that leaving a book open and face down all day is the same as asking a person to do the splits all day. This was…

When I was on maternity leave, I was reading “Where the Heart Is.” My husband decided the book was making me too depressed (thanks Oprah!), so he HID IT FROM ME before he went to work. I should have divorced him then. This was 22 years ago, and it still stands out in my memory as the first of many disrespectful things…

oh my god ripping pages from a book a truly special form of evil

Oh my god. The person who rips my book would have his balls fed to him through his nostrils. BOOKS ARE FRIENDS. RESPECT BOOKS, DAMMIT. Even my six and three year olds learned this lesson early.

Hey guys. So imma put this here even though I’ll likely have a post about it soon: yes, I will be leaving Gawker Media. It’s been a fun run, but it was going to end sometime.

Once she was inspired

Or set up a will and donate all the money to charities, so that you’re fucking your family AND helping people out.

I may not have much to say regarding these situations, but if I have to say anything about these posts...
