My bookshelf at my new apartment isn't very impressive at all. I lost a majority of my college books and recently read books when I moved back from Maine to LA and could only carry 75lbs.

I have another bookshelf in my old bedroom at my parents with all my high school and young adult books and classics I read throughout high school.

This is what I currently have at my apartment. The rest are on my Kindle.

"Sandman and porn" would have been a great answer in the if your house was burning down thread.

Extreme, because regular XXX just doesn't cut it.

I didn't even notice the porn at first glance. Then my cell phone rang and it was a booty call. When I looked back at the picture, I saw it more clearly. Proof of the subjectivity of perception?

Note: It might be a joke about the booty call. I'm not saying.

I'm not sure where that exactly came from. It's was a running joke because we used to play hide and seek with it. Ready to make some soup? WTF! Why is there a porno mag in the microwave?

There was a Big Booty one too that I found under my couch when I was cleaning last week. I threw it out because it wasn't Extreme, though.

I wonder if serious (hardcore) collectors of porn magazines (if there are such people) refer to issue numbers in the way that comic book collectors do.

"Actually, if you'll refer back to Vol. 1, Number 3 or Hustler's Extreme XXX, you'll see that . . ."

People on reddit talk about their giant porn folders all the time, so there are porn collectors. I'd never heard of print porn collecting, but there are price guides so they must exist.

My favorite part of that link is that it has links for upcoming years. When clicked on, it goes to a page with nothing but:

    for future use

I like people that are prepared.

This is hilarious.

I saved/stuck Owl's post of a Neil Gaiman lecture. After seeing your book shelf, I will HAVE to watch it tonight.

Meanwhile, perhaps you can get a picture of your old bedroom bookshelf while it still exists. Parents might want to rent your room or turn it into a yoga studio. On the other hand, maybe they are keeping it pristine and praying that you'll come back.

If you haven't seen his commencement speech, you should watch that, too. Absolutely great.
