Guys. You know me. You've all gotten greeting cards from me with flies on them, seen me wear a shirt with a fly on it, seen my pendants, been to my dorm room and seen the glasses or the sculptures or the prints. And there's more that only my roommate can tell you.

I like flies.

But I draw the line at cutting up books. Even if you put them into fly shapes.

Worn out books are still books that can be read. Give them to the library! Or to charity! Or something! Don't wear them.

If any of you wear any books around, it had better be the dictionary.

Those actually look pretty trendy.

[scentofmakai]

I will find the seller and shoot them.

[glass_secret]

You do realize that libraries incinerate their old worn book. Think of this as giving them a new life.

[scentofmakai]

I'd rather think of it as 'really stupid'.

[grimlight]

I concur.
Destruction of innocent books is one of the worst crimes I can conceive of.

[She's not even being sarcastic]

[scentofmakai]

Thank you. Somebody agrees.

[grimlight]

I'm sure most people would. Most people with sense, at least.

[disarmingsmile]

I still don't understand your... obsession.

[scentofmakai]

Flies are awesome. What's not to love?

[scentofmakai]

So, not a lot of people on this campus.

[grimlight]

It's depressing how true that statement is.

[scentofmakai]

Is there even a reading club here?

[grimlight]

I thought I'd found one, but the reading list was rather...lacking.

[In horrorterrors]

[scentofmakai]

Take it over and fix that.

[grimlight]

I'm not entirely certain they'd appreciate that.

[scentofmakai]

You're helping them find good books, right? It's for their own good.

[grimlight]

I expect that rather depends on what they consider to be good.

[scentofmakai]

You're exposing them to new ideas and broadening their horizons?

I'll help you organize a coup of the book club if you want.

[grimlight]

I'm not entirely sure they'd see it that way. I do have rather unique tastes.

[scentofmakai]

You say that like it's bad.

[grimlight]

It is when your aim is to unite a group in a common passion.

[scentofmakai]

But sticking to the generic books that everyone's sure to tolerate is boring.

[grimlight]

Which would be why I shun such groups and expand my literary tastes on my own time.

[scentofmakai]

When I become king of the book club, I will formally extend a hand of welcome to you and all your weird tastes, Rose.

[grimlight]

Then I suppose I should wait in anticipation of your success.
