This is the worst shelf I've ever seen posted on /lit/. It's all complete garbage except for the three novels you own...reading YA porn romantasy slop would be leagues better than the trash you've got. But this isn't your shelf. You probably stole it from that subreddit.

Twenty three, but I have dyscalculia and was homeschooled from middle to high school so I didn't really learn any math higher than elementary school.

I have so much YA because I aspire to write for kids and preteens, particularly animated programming but kids need more incentive to become readers these days as well I feel

it's unfortunate that the people who care about kids are the most juvenile and have no maturity to instill in them.
>>
>>25464266
True maturity is recognizing that you can allow yourself to be immature sometimes. Adults tend to treat life way too seriously, we're all going to be rotting meat underground one day. Live a little until then, read a comic, watch a cartoon, play with some toys, or whatever else you may have enjoyed as a kid. You most likely didn't stop enjoying these activities of your own accord, it's usually social pressures that make eleven - twelve year olds put down action figures and never give them life again. I played with toys until I was 18 when I stepped back from entering imaginary worlds with toys, being homeschooled as an only child meant I had no one to shame me out of being creative. Its definitely made me a more sensitive adult, more than I'd like to be, but I recognize that as a personal fault to be worked on. Ive got another sixty years about to work on that though, before I join the rest of humanity in a state of nonexistent for eternity, like before we were born.

I have similar handwriting is that how it comes off?

projecting coping mechanism. i realized video games etc were stupid and boring on my own. and enjoying mass produced childrens entertainment is not "living", it's a regression into dullness. there are much more exciting and stimulating ways of using your imagination than fucking toys.

>Are you familiar with the study of graphology?
>I've never given it any serious thought, no.
>The psychological analysis of handwriting. The lack of line connection on the 'a', the 'j', the 'm', indicate an average level intellect, while the overlap in the ‘p’ denote a highly uncreative, yet obsessive nature, but if one observes the overall curves and the irregularity of the writing, there's suggestion of acute ADHD, a complete lack of maturity, and a pronounced inclination toward-

Anon where the fuck have you been keeping this paper? The first one looks like it’s being eaten by red mold and the second has a fly smeared across it.
>>
>>25463702
Every comic other than TLH, Dark Victory and Year One can be taken off that middle shelf and thrown in the trash. Then buy all four Parker GNs by Cooke.

Comics dont count so you’ve read like 8 books.

This is the worst collection I've seen posted in here, very impressive, congratulations.

Keep Carlyle's Past and Present, the KJV Bible, Moby dick, capitalist realism, crime and punishment, the middle shelf in here >>25463725 and just dispose of everything else
>>
>>25463702
this is one of the most reddit bookshelves I've seen in my life and I've seen some shit.
