How Wanky Is Your Bookshelf?

You know exactly what kind of books you like and you don't feel the need to read what others recommend in an effort to look smart. There's more to life than reading a list of literature guided by the personal philosophy of some thirty-something-year-old white man named Brandon. Fuck Brandon and his basic taste.

You can see the value in reading books that take you out of your comfort zone, but mostly you just read books that you enjoy. At the end of the day you read for pleasure, not because you're trying to impress anyone. And besides, a lot of the books on the list, pretentious or not, are actually pretty damn good.

You like your books deft, purposeful, and difficult to understand. If you're not challenged by what you're reading then it has no place on your bookshelf, and there's nothing wrong with that. But it's probably best not to bring up your critiques of postmodernism on a first date, because honestly, it makes you look like a pretentious dick.
