I get it. I do. They're pretty, they pile, you buy more. and I understand that there's a whole different sort of feeling when buying a book. a sense of permanence and a sudden feeling of intellectualism. and book stores are among the best spaces in the world. thing is, it's all shit if you haven't read it in the end. (side note/psa: STOP buying coffee table books. no one is going to flick through your lifestyle Louis Vuitton. or your print book you got at that gallery once on that holiday. Banksy's 'Wall and Piece' is the only exception. others are simply nonsensical clutter.)

i feel like sometimes i buy different types of art books because of the excitement of reading through them and actually taking everything in, getting inspiration, for research.. etc. but then they lay on my shelf for months and i never get to them.
it’s silly to say this but it’s literally like browsing through pinterest or tumblr irl and even better given that they’re all specifically curated and usually offer some really cool information

Even if you’re not planning on reading them. Even if you already have too many. Buy books. Books make a house a home. I always think about the “Looking For Alaska” quote that talks about her having a lots of books because ‘She will read them at some point’ because it’s ‘her life’s library’. Spoiler alert: she dies. But I think it’s badass to die and leave a shit ton of books behind.
So, buy books.

just a reminder if you're feeling like a change but feel incapable of one/ stifled by your present life.

for many many reasons: one hilarious franchise, many excellent indie flicks, an ethereal girlfriend, general looks... but MOST NOTABLY in recent days the fact that he somewhat caused the making of Oppenheimer as gave Christopher Nolan a copy of American Prometheus as a wrap gift on Tenet. mentalism.
