Is this the bookshelf of a thrice-divorced 45 year-old or a 15 year-old who wears a suit to school every day because he wants to be a businessman when he grows up?

Having these books is actually worse than having no books
Incredible that Death Note is the least cringe thing on the shelf.
This bookshelf tells me you're always at best 2 beers away from suggesting we should abolish age of consent laws.
Thats gonna be off-putting to most women
... The female equivalent bookshelf is like nothing but Harry Potter, Hilary Clinton's memoir and "Lean In."
Funny comment on Reddit? Is this a miracle?
First guy: Posts in r/Latestagecapitalism, Antiwork, worldofwarcraft and Tinder.
So probably like, the top 5% of tolerable redditors.

Shelf? Honey, that's a book cubbyhole. 😂
He hasn't finished reading them yet.

Content aside (cringey doesn't even cover it) can you really call that a proper bookshelf?
Seeing death note alone is not cringe for me. But seeing it along libertarian "theory" would make me assume that I'm in the home of a serial killer
Ron Paul
She's right 
She was being kind
Death note? reasonable. everything else? major red flags, somebody like that should get no love.
It's Killers of the Flower Moon bad? I haven't read it
It's fine but it's the kinda book that this guy would only have bought because he worships Scorsese as the pinnacle of Kino, and has not actually read it. It's so unrelated to and unlike the rest of his stuff that no other outcome is likely. Check out that perfect spine.
Actually, check out the perfect spines on everything but the two Death note re-releases.
To be fair like 3/4ths of the books on this 'shelf' are hardcovers and aren't exactly going to show any wear in the spines if read. Hell, how hard do you have to treat a average sized paperback like the Killers of the Flower Moon copy to have it show any sort of wear on the spine in a tight bookshelf like that

To be fair I like to beat the heck out of my books so they know who's boss
what your books see when you approach your bookshelf

No, it's actually not that bad. The movie based on it is good to. I guess the Ron Paul and leadership books took too much of my attention.

Rate my bookshelf: calvin and hobbes, berserk, dark souls and bloodborne comics, massive library of ps2 games, not one iota of theory
Mine is a distressing amount of theory, graphic novels that are problematic, and piles of anthropology texts I never actually finished mixed in with a really mixed bag of sci fi and fantasy novels. "Post your bookshelf" would be fun but also maybe not fun.

men posting their Ls
That subreddit is the saddest place ever. Full of PUA level content, whiny men asking why they aren't getting smashed every night, and then stuff like this. I would probably end things too if I met a woman with Ron Paul books on her bookshelf.
Ron Paul I can kind of understand as he was the only anti war candidate during the Iraq war and thus had some non batshit support, but Yang is unforgivable.
Edit: just realized that the events I’m thinking of were 20 years ago and crumbling into dust.
I guess it would depend on when she had them or her age. If she's a 23 year old who was 10 when Ron Paul was big then I would be suspicious.
32 and was at the age to be more politically aware at that time, possibly liking him for his anti-war positions? I could understand that.
why you booing her? she's right
Before I discovered that my childhood friend had become a Christchurch Shooter loving fascist piece of shit, I had the opportunity to meet some of their new friends in person. They were copy pastes of the same PUA archetype in 2016, and this one guy had Snowball and Art of The Deal on his shelf. Cringiest shit I have ever seen.
unlimited break-ups on libertarian "intelligent mangas" readers
Yang pilled math guy
Yang gang yang gang yang gang
Not even a single funko pop smh
looks like everything's from 2010
- Death Note
- End the Fed
- the fact that there's books
- the fact that they care about them
Bless that girl.
Can't stand all the "be you, don't change yourself for a woman" comments.
You're shit, be someone else.

How could someone even survive with a "bookshelf" that small? I've have way more than a dozen times that, in the room I'm currently in alone. I ran out of shelf space years ago (yes, I've acquired more shelves since then. instantly filled.).
I think you already know that this dude does not read. He probably didn't even read these books. The books are in plain view, on a shelf, and organized for a reason. They're probably the only decorations in the room. I'm willing to bet that he specifically brought them up because he thinks they make him seem smart as opposed to everyone else perceives him; as a clown.

My book shelf is just Mushishi and a vast collection of space opera. Tinder dates have no power over me.
