those posts and memes and videos of people saying they buy and buy books but they never read them (you know those that are like "me buying a new book: 😃, the 50 unread on my shelf looking at me: 👁️👁️. or those 100+ physical tbr booktube videos. or some bullshit like that) piss me off so much because i WISH i could afford books—the books i want to read! i read everything on my phone and all of them illegally downloaded. and no, i can't borrow books from the public library because i live at the end of the world in a small forgotten town with no local public library. i'm messing up my sight with so much screen time because i love reading while those consumerist fools can't even fathom what it's like to value things!

#picture me like chuck mcgill during his chicanery monologue ''and THEY get to afford books? what a sick joke!''#my screen time is so crazy and it's all because of the epub reader app #obviously i'm talking about unreasonable numbers. if you have a normal amount of unread books on your shelf this is not about you 👍🏻#also note the emphasis on physical tbr bc obviously a tbr list can be huge #the thing is that you have to actually read them if you're buying them #also i used to borrow books from the nearest library (which is still very far) but they don't have many books. it was very sad.#chuck mcgill from better call saul ! btw lol
