Shock Value: A Tasteful Book about Bad Taste | John Waters

#sundayfunday @BookmarkTavern

I'm not too picky, so long as there are lots of them. Multiple shelves' worth. John Waters said it best: "If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't f*** them...Nothing is more important than an unread library. Life is nothing if you're not obsessed." ??

BookmarkTavern I love that quote! Thanks for sharing! 5mo

Shock Value: A Tasteful Book about Bad Taste | John Waters

Discovered that the library system one county over does not have a ratings cap on DVDs like ours does so I‘m finding all kinds of gems there. Watching this one now.

I saw John Waters speak in DC during one of his book tours a few years ago and I gotta say...once in a lifetime event.

DivineDiana I‘m originally from Baltimore, so of course I am a fan of John Waters and the late and fabulous Divine! 5y

SkeletonKey @DivineDiana - Excellent!! I do enjoy Baltimore. 5y

kalinichta I often remember something he said in "This Filthy World": "If you go home with somebody, and they don't have any books, don't fuck 'em!" 5y

SkeletonKey @kalinichta - That‘s my favorite quote from him I think 😆 5y

RealBooks4ever My daughter went to see John Waters on Feb 14! She‘s a big fan but was a little disappointed that he used some of the same material he used last time he came through Portland. What did you think of his show? 6y

Leftcoastzen I liked it a lot . I had seen him many years ago at a Book event , fun to hear him riff on the history. 6y

DivineDiana As I‘m Baltimore born and bred, I have a soft spot in my heart for John Waters. Have not had the pleasure of hearing a prepared lecture, but I did exchange some comments with him at a Baltimore nightclub a long time ago! 6y

Leftcoastzen @DivineDiana I love Baltimore!The American Visionary Art Museum, Babe Ruth Museum, the main branch of The Enoch Pratt Free Library, H.L. Mencken,yummy 🦀......Love the quote Mencken‘s about one day the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. 6y

DivineDiana @Leftcoastzen Yes! Yes! And Yes! You certainly have seen the sites! And don‘t forget the Edgar Allen Poe House! 🙂 6y

Leftcoastzen @DivineDiana Poe house on the list.I think it was closed on the day I wanted to go or I just ran out of time.A good reason to come back sometime. 6y

The 3rd bookstore of the day was Value Village, which is actually just another secondhand store... but a go to for books. Definitely pricier than SuperThrift and Sally Anne, but worth it for certain books. @TricksyTails

Texreader Are all these stores in your hometown? You are so lucky!!! 6y

Clwojick @TexReader they are all across the street from each other. We have a bunch more, but I always hit up these four on the same day because they're like a 3 min walk from each other. 😂💸💸💸 6y

TricksyTails Look at all that Stephen King! 😍 So lucky!! 6y

LA_Mead Wow! That's a nice looking value village! Which one is it? 6y

Clwojick @LA_Mead it's in Thunder Bay. 6y

Kaye Wow, how lucky to have so many bookshops all in one area. 6y

InLibrisVeritas Your Value Village is so nice compared to the one we have here. Ours looks like someone ransacks the place every night 6y
