a lot of it is random stuff i’d never read but i came across some gems - got a slightly damaged but new copy of the serviceberry for $10 (gorgeous book!) and a copy of nightbitch that had a slightly torn corner and weird chicken stamp on the bottom (i wish i could read the words from the stamp but the ink just isn’t clear enough)

for all my fellow nyc residents the dtbk location has a discounted book section that oftentimes has a great selection
these are just a handful of the many books I’ve found ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ )

Ok, this is a more obscure rec but bear with me. I recently started spending weekend days strolling into a new used book store in the Lower East Side called Sweet Pickle Books. The store has become a comforting place to make a quick cheap purchase for me, and also my go-to store for presents. Every time I go in there I find myself picking up books with the coolest names or covers and just buying them hoping I’ll like them. I’m currently reading J.G. Ballard’s Super-Cannes which I probably would have never even known about had I not stumbled upon it and thought the cover looked cool. I suggest this method for branching out from your usual genres or authors.

just phenomenal, i think it’s called lost city or capital city or something. great phil and theory selection, pretty much anything you’d want as far as fiction goes. picked up a marshall mcluhan book that has this cool cypher in the back from the last owner

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on

a million times cooler than the lackluster “sleek” tech color palette used today
