What else could I put on shelves? My room would look empty and depressing without books.

The last girl I brought home was legit impressed by my collection. Too bad she's an undateable slut.

>DFW thumbnail

top kek

People are frequently derisive of the DFW thumbnail. Indeed, it's become somewhat a badge of honour to lampoon and deride its deployment as "shitposting", as somehow not worthy of a "patrician™". What this backlash really amounts to is the classic fear of transgression felt on the part of the cultural elite whenever a new art form emerges - as was the case with film, television, and comics. The sneering that the DFW thumbnail betokens is part of its rite of passage as an emergent aesthetic.

The truth is that the DWF thumbnail remains the only art form uncontaminated by commercialism, academia, and ideology.

Our research shows that customers like shiny things. The original cover for Lewis Carroll's work was a mirror on the front.

If you need motivation, stop it. Do something different or write another story. Come back later and just do it.

Nope. You've discovered the best one. The only way for you to go from here is down.

That's maybe my favorite SF novel. I also like Le Guin, Philip K. Dick, and Kim Stanley Robinson as far as SF authors.

Book of the New Sun has a lot of fans on here but I didn't like it nearly as much as 5th Head. Interesting and worth reading, though.
