I love books

OK. I've got a sub-question for everyone (but I can't be bothered to post it as a fresh topic) --
In your house, what's the ratio of books versus DVDs / Blu-Rays?
Me, in my gaff, I think it's about 65% books, 35% DVDs. And I'm not even counting Graphic Novels or comics as books.

@Indrid-Cold hey indrid, bill hicks, yes! My all time hero, he is my jesus! I love that sketch in the diner where he's reading lol

@Scottish said in Who else like books???:
@wet-teri great books but my favourite tom robbins has to be jitterbug perfume, have you read it?
No I have not read that one but thank you the suggestion I will see if I cannot find that particular text.
I also failed to mention some of the great American classics like Faulkner
-
I m reading everyday. Two or three books at once. I read оne book in English and one or two in my native language. Reading calms me down. I can't live without reading. If I stop reading, I may explode.
-
@Indrid-Cold tbh I have more DVDs than books because I mostly read online....but they don't give the joy of paper books..their smell and they carry with them more human touch...
-
@Scottish yea, I m not being judgemental but when I see shelves filled with books in someone house it gives me certain comfy feeling (is it make any sense) ...
-
@Black-biler same here🙂
-
@wet-teri read it, it's fucking brilliant, the greatest love story ever told, you can stick romeo and Juliet up your ass. Also its a tom robbins book so its witty and profound and insightful and funny as fuck
-
@sky1234 a confession, if im left alone in someone's house i have a nose at the bookcase, the record collection and the fridge, you can tell a lot from that. I AM judgemental lol
-
@Indrid-Cold so are you saying neil gaiman sandman graphic novels dont count as books? I disagree indrid, they are beautifully written, beautifully conceived impressively researched works. How is that not a book?
-
@Black-biler at home I have a book in the bathroom, living room, bedroom, my purse, 12 books on my phone... Need more storage 😂
-
@Scottish That's true, mate. Have you read 'Overture' yet? I hear it's amazeballs.
-
@sky1234 The smell of auld bookshops is one of life's great pleasures. Gloucester used to have a labyrinthine secondhand bookshop with 7 ft shelves and just enough elbow room to move around. I spent hours in there. I believe nowadays it's a hipster boutique :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
