Can I smell your hair?

Libraries have comics and manga?

Graphic novels and manga are the most spaghetti things to try and get a hold of from a library or bookstore, it's usually the same scenester/emo/fedora tipping kids hanging around there, eating ramen noodles and spilling monster energy drink all over everything it makes me want to give them all detentions for being greasy little faggots who live on diets of fast food and shitty edm

Like you have, or like you are?

Either way, would you like to go out for cocktails sometime?

In my case they were usual Chads who were just occupying space to hang on their smartphones and a couple quiet girls. Don't know where you find those type of people, but not in my city library.

To be fair, I'd rather rent them from the library instead of buying them. I don't even read a lot of graphic novels but they're like twice the price of normal books.

Same shit with Blu-rays actually.

I try to get films on dual-format if I can - blu-ray and DVD. It's usually the same price as just a standalone blu-ray and most films that are available as a dual-format release are full of features and a nifty booklet full of essays/interviews/etc.

I'm not American. Criterion collection only just started here (UK) and I don't believe there are many other distributors who include booklets.

Though I think the BFI used to - I have a DVD copy of Still Life (the Jia Zhangke film) that came with a booklet.

>only buy books in bulk twice per year
>huge book sale of 30k books at local uni for fundraising (ie. get a book for 2 bucks with a sticker price of 20+)
>other than that, just thrift store book shopping
someone who pays sticker price for a fuggin book is as big of a fool as someone who buys the car off the lot
