This is... an exceedingly good analogy, damn. Would you mind if I stole it a bit in the future? :lol

Well said. This definitely resonates with how I purchase stuff. Self-expression, nostalgia and personal values...all given to you, fed by and shaped by consumerism. A bit sobering when you really think about it.

And thanks for all your support guys. Seriously, how is this forum so wholesome?

Yes I am a very mature creeper.

Found this in my bookshelf. So many memories.

It's definitely seen better days, though thankfully the contents are all intact. Something I'm definitely keeping.

RIP to a great author ��
