Our minds, so they can torment us to their utmost.

They read you like a book.

>>7816059
YA Fiction, shitty romance novels; occasionally a classic that appeals to women, like Pride and Prejudice.

What do girls

>>7816059
As a girl with a lot of experience I have one correct answer:
>It depends
>>
>>7816059
Art histories, a lot of twentieth century fiction, national classics of their native country, usually some poetry, popular non-fiction.

>>7816086
But this moreso.
>>
>>7816059
YA and erotica
>>
Books by or about women mostly.

So women could read genre-fiction and it would be non-pleb in your eyes?

They read YA quasiromances about socially awkward protags who are frustrated by how socially awkward everyone else is. Then they graduate to books about hard working women who keep getting held back by the man. Then (iftheystillread) they move on to the ones where women get held down by them man.
>>
Vonnegut, H.G. Wells, Murakami, Philip K. Dick, DFW, and Kafka are a few authors I've read in the past couple months. always looking for more.

a lot of girls/women are drawn to the dystopia meme--hunger games, divergent, the city of ember, you get the idea. it's easy reading that makes 'em feel like intellectuals or something.

my mom still reads YA. guilty pleasures and what have you. at least girls are reading, i guess.

>hunger games, divergent, the city of ember, you get the idea. it's easy reading that makes 'em feel like intellectuals or something.

do people really believe this
how does this happen
>>
>>7817638
they do and it happens because they eagerly gobble it up

the average young American woman will play up any piece of media that gives her the sensation of emulating a creative thought (without requiring her to think TOO hard). in turn the media plays off of this and shoves it down her throat some more. and on and on. it's clever.
>>
>>7816989
only if women are held to lower standards

Sandwich recipes obviously.

>a lot of girls/women are drawn to the dystopia meme

That's so true the most ""into reading"" girl I know only reads entry level dystopian shit like 1984 or Brave New World, then Bukowski and those kind of facebook tier in your face "poems".

it's a quirky girl thing in japan to behave like a passive lump
has this not reached your shores yet? give it 5-50 years depending on HDI of your city

My wife liked it. She brought it on the plane and there were 15 women around her talking about it.

Its fluff but I assume its fun to read in the bath.
>>
>>7816948
Older here, but the response back in the day was DaVinci Code or if they were more esoteric, holy blood holy grail

I don't get it. How is biting a cellphone quirky?
>>
>>7818349
she's not biting it, merely accepting in into her mouth
it's a "cute laziness" thing
if you don't get it, just wait a graduated number of years
do you at least have tuques only sitting on the head without being worn?

YA Fiction or something to do with feminism is the reply I usually get

I'm being a slow reader right now though.

I just read that one for a college lit class, I had a great time with it. Hard to believe such perversions were written by a woman, a Canadian at that.

Dat meta ending doe

I think it's more because they can talk to their friends about it once it's advertised as the Next Big Thing.

Can women read Blood Meridian?

Women have been accepting things into their mouths since day 1.
>>
>>7816059
she's just like anime :3
>>
>>7818681
I had a gf that had me read Blood Meridian to her every night before she went to bed. She thought the Judge was the sexiest fictional character to ever exist and loved anal. Those were good times.

Russian women 25-35 years old are sincerely fucked up. My buddy used to live above a group of them, all skinny blonds with bony faces. We saw one pull a knife on some local tough guy, and told him she "vud gut im" if he didnt get away from her property. They used to buy cartons of cigs for the local cops and fireman because they thought that was the road to riches like in home country.

Would read books by the immediate post-soviet trash women who's boyfriends do Krokodil. There has to be at least one.

Would rather date one of those than our usual pseudo-feminist, sheltered women.

Russian women are based, only things you got to watch out are for them getting too crazy or cheating on you.
>>
>>7819991
European Union?
>>
>>7820077
Both of which are guaranteed to happen, usually while spending your money.

I knew another guy who dated a russian a while ago. First she pretended to be pregnant until he married her, then when he was on deployment she spent his hazard pay on coke and fucked a bunch of club guys.
>>
>>7820085
by Russian I mean the ones that are in Russia. emigrants are always opportunistic
>>
>>7820080
EU is an abbreviation for Europe too, not just EU

They read those thousands and thousands of novels about children being abused or kidnapped. It was the Dad.
