Although this exchange is tailored to readers with a knowledge of Austin, TX's bookstores, there's a lot of this rambling but entertaining conversation that speaks to experiences which have been true through all of human history:
M: I was in BookPeople the other day and they sell t-shirts in there. They sell a shirt that says "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups." Who would wear that? What kind of asshole walks around declaring, "Hey look at me! I think people are stupid!"
K: Ten of his friends have the same shirt.
M: And then the "Cats ... Books ... Life is good" shirt? I like books, and I like cats, but if I get like that, kill me.

And the commentary about the book reading of the sisters having sex, when Jessa was the only one disturbed by the scene? Hilarious.
M: "I saw it in the other sisters-having-sex way."
J: "I saw it in the positive incestuous light."
M: I guess they're just not allowed to have taboos anymore. Incest? No, that can't be a taboo. They're afraid of being judgmental. I'm sick of that. I wish people would start being judgmental. You're having sex with your sister? That's fucked up.
