Real talk

Anywhere where you have access to books and art.

Germany man. Just found out that if you're an artist you can predict your expenditures and winning and the government will pay a chunk your insurance. Or something. I don't fucking know, I suck at bureaucracy, but it sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Of course, you actually have to sell things.

>>7428488
you actually don't get to read all the books you want btw

>having a home and job and still living the 'literary lifestyle'
How are those material attachments working out for you?

I did three months in county. Read 30 books. The catch was that people could only send you books straight from the publisher. I made an Amazon wish list before I went in and luckily my parents still loved me. The other problem was that you could only possess one book at a time. My girlfriend would pick up my book when I finished and then my mom would send another one.

You can read a lot for sure but there are no comfortable places to do it and you will have to ignore the worst conversations ever.

Did a year back at 2010. At least in my country, actually reading in jail makes a great impression on the staff. I got to work at the prison library project, we had a nice budget to order books with every month. Combine it with books we already had when I came in and second-hand book donations, and I never really had to buy books of my own. We also held a trivia every week and I got to host it after a while. Great way to be loved without being "jail material" (or doing illegal shit).
