    So you open the book and turn several pages, and it's blank, right? Then, finally, on page 75, there is a picture of Mighty Mouse. It's funny because it's confusing and pointless and delivered with a funny accent.

    @Rooo sez BISH PLZ: I'm hooked on their Alice and Wonderland series and Dorian (Grey) perfume. Amazing, amazing stuff.

    Sometimes I wonder if it's normal for a teenage girl to be obsessed with smelling like fictional literary characters, but then I realize that I'm awesome, and more people should actively strive to smell like the Mad Hatter instead of Michael Jackson, or whatever ridiculous celebrity fragrance. #oldbooksmell

    @callire: Michael Jackson? This whole comment is ridiculous- it's as normal for a teenage girl to be obsessed with smelling like a 'ridiculous celebrity fragrance' as it is for a teenage girl to be obsessed with smelling like fictional literary characters. #oldbooksmell

    my department's library is one of my favorite places on campus because it smells of old books. i'm sure it has something to do with mold and dust, but i can't take a library seriously unless it smells like the books have been waiting for me for centuries. and in some cases, they have. #oldbooksmell

    I've been relishing studying in the special collections section of the law library-- hooray old book smell!

    But as we approach finals, the library begins to smell of Red Bull and BO. Not as delish. #oldbooksmell

    Oooh, this is the one that tells you what to say if you've been deflowered by the ghost of Rudolph Valentino during a seance! I saw a scanned copy of it online. It's great, like all of Edward Gorey's books. #edwardgorey
