Maybe you should invest in cooking books.

Maybe.

I like books. They don't argue back.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

They don't do much of anything else, either.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

That's not true.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[y-you are so strange]

I don't think I've seen so many books in one place before.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

No. There aren't many places in Lepus with books either.

Yes.
