/lit/ - Literature

Design is so important to me I literally don't buy some products because I don't like the font on the packaging. I've dropped books simply because I couldn't find them in a font that didn't have quotation marks like pic related, they're such an eyesore, the commas too. It just looks cheap. Also,
>old books with huge page margins
>when simple words are explained in footnotes like they expect the reader to know literally nothing
>when people read paperbacks in public and they bend the side they're not reading all the way around, like you'd do with a magazine
>when dictionaries contain any color whatsoever
>ribbon bookmarks. God I hate bookmarks. I'm not a fan of altering/damaging books but I just have to tear bookmarks out as soon as I get the book
Also seconding the whole book VS movie thing. They're different media with different applications and unique traits that can't be translated into each other.
