Just ignore her, that's what I do. Or sound pretentious, that does the trick too. Remnder that grisl only read with their holes, so holding a conversation about books is useless.

what? do they have built in scanners?

Since you're on /lit/, you're not monolingual. Start speaking in one of the other languages you know and then say, "English only good in reading."

More or less, yes. Whatever makes them moist, they take and "read" (which is really just pretending to read while waiting to get pciked up.)
Does this actually happen? Where i'm from it would be extremely weird

Ah. I see. I was imagining them squatting over a book.

Rhat too, why do you think they pick hardcover books the most? Let me reword this for a better comprehension, they use the solid spine for pleasure. That is why some books you pick at the public library seem to fall apart, because it was literally used. That, my dear forum associate, is the sad reality we must oblige.

Maybe he was just curious.

Probably thought it was something else/something he would know, it wasn't, he nods and walks away.

>desu
I know for a fact that I didn't type 'desu.' Seriously. I typed another dumb meme, granted, one that I've cringed at a hundred times but one that has lost its currency and therefore much of its most irritating qualities. It's the one with the letter T, then the letter B, then the letter H, but lowercase. There has to be some kind of scripting/filtering here.

Feels good desu.
Almost as good as listening to my music in my truck with the windows down and a cigarette lighted.

Know the feel. What I miss the most about reading in a Kindle is showing off my books to people in the subway.

People on the tube are fucking polite for some reason.
>>7438510
wear headphones, problem solved; you don't even have to listen to any music, just wearing them is enough to discourage social interaction, go forth ans channel your inner autistic-kid-in-the-lunch-line
I have a Kobo so this has never happened to me. Are you telling me I could be meeting qts with physical books?
