Is this the craziest collection on JSTOR? The University of Virginia documented graffiti before the renovation of their Alderman Library. The example you see here is one of the more literary ones--we can't show you the others here, but you can see them for yourself!

i must not check out a new book on libby. checking out a new book on libby is the mindkiller. browsing book reviews is the little death that leads to total obliteration. i will face my desire to leave a book halfway read and i will permit it to pass over and through me. when it is gone past i will turn the inner eye to see its path. where the desire to have 15 currently reading books has gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.
-litany against starting a new book when you havent finished the last one

I'm currently on practice at a library, and technically we're not supposed to eat here, but everyone does anyway. Which means that every time I'm snacking and I see someone approaching the desk, I turn into a dog that just heard "what's in your mouth!"

rating the outfits on the backs of danielle steel books:
now, this is excellent. we’re younger, we’re feeling ourselves, we’re thinking maybe the fifth marriage will work out this time. the red color feels very celebratory, and danielle fits in with the lush interior behind her, as she appears to have upholstered herself into this garment and has become an extension of the furniture. the folksy pattern appeals to the common person, while the stacked bracelets, multiple rings, and earrings say ‘but don’t get too close.’ i like it.
