Used bookstore clerk won't stop you from hurting yourself
Original: the book monger at the used bookstore won’t stop you from hurting yourself # books
A widely shared post about books jokes that the person running a used bookstore, 'the book monger', won't stop you from hurting yourself. The remark reads as dry humour about how secondhand bookshops let readers buy anything — bleak classics included — without judgment or intervention, and it has struck a chord with book lovers online.
Why now: Readers are sharing a wry joke about the nonjudgmental, anything-goes nature of used bookstores.
