Hans let me arrange a shelf on his new fancy handmade bookshelf. They are all books I've read and are arranged from best to worst, left to right.

I know what you're thinking. AHWOSH 4th? Before The Idiot? Before Catcher In the Rye? Your pretension is SO 4 years ago. I would keep the first half of the book in 4th place, but the second half I would probably put on another shelf. But I'm not one to rip up books. Unless they have beautiful paintings of birds, in which case, I would very neatly cut them out.
