      They can be but I don’t think that’s a very good critique. A lot of cycling culture also is but I don’t see people attacking bicycles because of cycling culture often acting like more expensive bikes are what makes a “real cyclist”

        Libs actually do some good things, hot take

        Their problem lies, generally, in thinking their idea of good enough is the best things can possibly be, then attacking anyone who tries to do better.

      I like seeing them but they're typically stocked with either low quality pulp fiction type stuff or things like war criminal biographies.

      Often a combination of the two with things like Tom Clancy books.

        I read a lot of garbage when I was younger (I still do, but I used to, too) and it is probably part of why I got good at reading

          I was 10 and reading stephen king and star wars extended universe airport books. Not quite literature but I was reading. So I get it.

            I think I read every Star Wars book yet printed when I was a kid lol. Even the one with the three-eyed son (grandson?) of the Emperor, and the three-eyed impostor

        Only thing I've ever found in one that was worth taking, to me, was a copy of Flatland.

        Yeah, it's the kind of books people are willing to give away for free.
