I like that most of the comments here, including this one, are more pretentious than the choice of books.

I thought you were commenting on the books and the people that read those books, when it was just about the coming together of those specific books that bothered you, I understand the point you are making.
So do I lose my “pretentious” status that I have gained for defending classic works of literature if I tell you that I had to read you response (aphillie) about 3 times to make sense of what you were saying even though it is perfectly comprehendible….just consider it, I wanna be liked.

Yes, the comment was in reference to the choice of books. It’s somewhat suspect that the person taking the picture would happen to just blindly choose such choice works that are not only thought-provoking and informative but also categorically youth-on-emergence-of-life-outside-Halo-video-games. I hope you are commenting on the facet that you are not blind to this fact for the sheer argument of pretentious argument.

I hope you are commenting on the choice of books to photograph and not the fact that this person might have read those books, because if you haven’t read at least 3 of those authors and you are over the age of 20 you are ignorant. I much rather be pretentious than unknowledgeable.
