Random Rants LXVI: NO, **YOUR** THREAD TITLES SUCK!!

[Hygro]

My books are divided by motivations to read.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Much like my life, my books exist in an eternal state of chaos.

 

[Hygro]

write wat u kno rite?

 

[Takhisis]

I'm **** at school and I want to die

Don't die.

Ah, OMTT, that was great.

Which brings me to a rant: It's great, but reading through the thread reminds me of how I acted here when I was 12, and that's not something I like thinking about much.

So I managed to do some harm while attempting to do some good? Hmmm, interesting.

I try to have related colours of spines together on my bookshelf, but frequently groups of books, whether by author, release order and subject (or all three!), have widely clashing spines.

Don't the clashes in colour help you to find books within each group more easily?

That's awful for finding your next Isaac Asimov reread but kind of beautiful if you feel like reading a yellow book.

That got a smile out of me.

Much like my life, my books exist in an eternal state of chaos.

And thus the development of the quantum book theory by Tolni of Bulgaria began.

Don't the clashes in colour help you to find books within each group more easily?

Within a series, certainly, which is almost certainly the main point.

 

[gay_Aleks]

God damn it, I'm a historian, Takhisis, not a quantum physicist!

 

[Takhisis]

So that should be a rave, am I right?

God damn it, I'm a historian, Takhisis, not a quantum physicist!

Everyone is a historian.

I just checked my bookshelf, and it appears that Asimov's novels weren't published by DAW (at least not the editions I have). Some of the anthologies he edited were, though.

 

[Takhisis]

Mine are partially organised by like genre and partly not organised

That's a good effort-to-yield ratio.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Everyone is a historian.

Please don't make me feel even worse about my future >_>

 

[Takhisis]

Actually, it just means that there is sufficient demand.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Well I'll probably just be another body with an useless degree so

 

[Synobun]

Well I'll probably just be another body with an useless degree so

Is a degree really useless if you can use it to ruin someone's self-esteem here on CFC when they're wrong?

 

[gay_Aleks]

Considering it won't get me employment: yes.

 

[Synobun]

Considering it won't get me employment: yes.

You underestimate the global need for making a mockery of CFC members.

 

[gay_Aleks]

And you seem to overestimate it.

 

[Takhisis]

Oh no, he does not.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Unless you're willing to pay, I'm afraid I'll find even this quite useless.

Chronological

Am I the only one here who actually reads the books, in addition to organizing them?

I've just started Bova's latest novel.
