I keep the books I read for sentimental reasons and because usually they have notes in them. But I definitely do not look into them on a regular basis. Even the books that I do reread or look something up in I do this maybe 2-3 times a year. Those are the frequent use books. Most I “use” less often. Now, if I open a book once a year or less I can also put it away in a box, the basement, or hide it somewhere in the closet. It does not need to be easily accessible. I also have raclette that I use once a year and it is also crammed in the back of a closet because I need other things to be quickly and easily accessible. If anything, it is me who uses the books as decoration as I keep them on display in a bookshelf - not because it shows my intent or interest to reread them. This is to say that while it looks impractical in the first glance, it doesn’t mean the books are less used or used more often. The way they are stored doesn’t need to mean anything. You can also find some joy in finding the right book by just remembering its thickness or size or color or where it is stored because you actually do pull it out so often. I even remember having this kind of “ha, gotcha, you thought I wouldn’t find you immediately, huh, you’re so wrong kiddo” feeling when I pulled out a favorite book from a bookpile when I couldn’t see the covers.

Posting guidelines.
Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:
-
the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)
-
the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)
-
the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)
-
the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.
-
Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.
-
Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.
-
Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content
Rules.
This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name-calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
