Umberto Eco also had a vast library of unread books

It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

"There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

"If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!

"Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.

Fun fact: Adele's a Londoner so this was actually the original edit of this song.

Columbo's got to have a few, surely? Although I think it was mainly upper class jackets and ties.

Me right now trying to get inside the mind of a 1980s Japanese sound engineer:

Page from the legendarily complicated and unhelpful Roland D-110 user manual.

Honestly all the reviews I've read of this thing are like "yeah you just have to push the buttons until it makes a noise you like and then hope it remembers it"

This reminds me, I have found what might the most desperate attempt at selling pop memorabilia I've ever seen

Ebay listing for "2U rack sleeve memorabilia previously Celebrity owned by Manchester band James". It's a scratty looking 2U rack sleeve with a sticker on the top with James written on it.

Yesterday we had Swap Shop with Posh Paws, and now this. Have my childhood cuddly toys come together to form some kind of conspiracy?

Just a regular sort of hatchback in a supermarket car park, with decals of Lancaster bombers spewing out poppies from their rear ends, for some reason.

Annoying that the image cut off the full majesty of the sketch so here it is

12 wired bird of paradise in sketch form. Crappy at first glance but that's literally what the bird looks like, number of wires notwithstanding

You must have seen this one, right?

LukeZero @lukemckinney
Incredible scenes on Weibo, someone tweeted a bird expert "I saw this bird what'sit called?", people mocking the sketch until the expert replies "Oh yeah that's a Twelve-wired Bird of
Paradise, the sketch is great except you're missing five wires"
