Looks comfy, also that edition of Dracula, is that the Barnes and Nobel one? Looks nice.

Here's mine, its currently in the works. I told myself I was only allowed to buy one physical book a month, so goings been slow.

My copy of Hemingway's short stories was in shit condition when I first bought it but now its all but fallen apart, so I decided to treat myself and get the hardcover edition instead of another paperback. I also had my eye on this really nice one-volume set that has The Old Man and the Sea, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Sun Also Rises, all in one hardcover.

It’s been read; you need to learn how to not break the spine: put the book on it spine and let it fall open if it can, while on its spine open opposite pages of the book and crease them down to the table, do this until the book is completely open and flat on the table, repeat.
