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
And frankly, Marty's adaption is radical and good insofar as it centers the narrative away from the mystery and white saviors (and interrogates the readers/viewers consumption of such narratives); much more likely he got it at a Hudson News for a flight on recommendation from his step father, liked reading about the FBI, and was disappointed with the movie, as it made him very uncomfortable.
Haven't seen the film yet and had been planning to sleep on it but I'll give it a look.
I don't necessarily think Scorsese is bad, just that he's incredibly overrated and largely put up on an unachievable pedestal that nobody can truly live up to.
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

I’m the opposite, I gingerly open my books and freak out if I damage it at all when I’m reading it.
Oof.

He's not. Afterhours, King of Comedy, Age of Innocence, Cape Fear, Silence -- this dudes B-sides make your favorite auteur envious.
You're entitled to your own opinion. He's made some good films, I'm just not really big on the whole auteur hero-worship thing.
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.
Yeah, it's definitely a "one of these things is not like the others" shelf
Imagine still being a ron paul guy in 24**___**
