Was reading Zazie in the Metro the other day and a guy told me his brother just read it for high school.

there's nothing cute about girls who are insecure whiny bitches
you did the right thing by not challenging her into a discussion about the book. you can't win with these people. the more you make them look dumb the more of a jackass everybody that witnessed it will think you are.
>>8272259
What an idiotic thing to get into an argument about. Typical Wallaceposter.
>>8272259
Holy shit, why not just ask her what part she struggled with? That way you can simulanteously prove you've read it and give the impression that you care about her qt /lit/ tastes.
I swear, conversation is a lost art.

She never actually tried reading the book though. She was just complaining about other guys not reading it.
I think there was supposed to be an undercurrent of "haha silly men trying to read hard books" but that's just a guess.
