>tfw I give a girl a book to read
>she doesn't read it
Do I need to give them shorter books or something, or do they need to have a female protagonist?
if it isn't a romance book or a cookbook they won't be interested. Just ask her to come over for netflix and chill
>>7479792
>netflix and
Sorry, but I'm not a mouth-drooling consumer that needs to watch television with a girl in order to get laid, pussy
>he interacts with people irl
>>7479785
Pretty normal, unless they explicitly asked for the book they probably won't read it.
My friend and I bounce tons of songs off each other and we listen to maybe 5% of what we send each other.
>>7479800
But it's the thought that counts, right, senpai?
>>7479796
yeah I'm sure you're a real special snowflake who gets tons of girls wet by giving them books they don't read and asking advice on a laosian cat milking board.
beside you don't actually watch netflix it's just an expression. as soon as they get in the door they know whats coming, no point wasting time might as well fuck her in the precipice.
>>7479785
Stop being a hoity toity asshole trying to give books to people to show how patrician you are or educate them or some bullshit. If people want to read, they'll read, if they want your recommendations, they'll ask. Giving people unsolicited books to read is cringeworthy
>>7479808
>But s-she told me she w-would read it?
But hey, at least I gave her, the girl I'm madly in love with, something, which is more than most anons can say.

Go back in time and give your mother an abortion ;)

Nothing truer than this. Me and my friend have devised like a system of song listening debt.
"Here listen to this"
"Only if you listen to that song I sent you last week that I know you did not listen to"
It works.
>>7479820
Do you understand her taste in media at all our did you get her shit only you would read?
>>7479858
Yeah, I pretty much follow her on most social media stuff and have talked to her many times before, even about literature. I actually went with a pop-lit book that most people would enjoy reading-- it was a safe bet.

>then we play pool and chat about life.
So, /lit/, how did I handle that? She is a good friend, I'm not trying to sleep with her, she likes literature, would identify with the novel and might get some insight from it, and I gave her an out if she doesn't want to put the time into it.

Way too many quantifiers. Let me tell you what people want, they want sensation.
Five minutes of your cock probing the back of her throat is more engaging than a lifetime of meandering conversations about your interpretations of what some other losers wrote a century or more ago. Primal raw emotion, carnal love, seduction physical and immediate, excitement in the buildup, fulfillment in release. Then as you age you want the same things as before with stability and forgiveness tacked onto the end in small print. Know that you are closer to God or understanding or enlightenment or freedom or whatever your drug of choice is when you share the moment of ejaculation with another ejaculating human being. There is no higher plane of experience or existence. You are a base and lowly thing, no more.

>some faggot thinking sex is the best thing ever or even remotely transcendental
fuck off, I bet you haven't even smoked weed, let alone done shrooms or LSD. And you definitely haven't ever been roused into a sex-denying or self mutilating religious fervor so strong as to permanently forsake sex.
I suppose you're probably just some /r9k/ pleb raised on hollywood bullshit with no real knowledge of what sublime sensation really is, this IS the thread for you sort after all.
>>7480437
You're embarassing, lad
>>7480383
The disclaimer was overly apologetic and kind of condescending, and if a fucking lit major can't muster up the motivation to read Dostoevsky then the education system truly is fucked.
My gf literally asked me not to give her a book for Christmas so I'm just going to get her some piece of shit scarf instead. Bitch.
>>7480415
>>7479820
yeah you're really special for expressing your affection for a female with material goods
some revolutionary shit anon

Give him a christmas present without a Sender's tag. Suggest that his coworkers or something sent him the book.

I just lended "To kill a mockingbird" to a girl, I'm sure she'll never finish it
>implying it's a gender thing
My brother lent me Timequake and I haven't even opened it. IMO, gifting books is much better than lending them.
For her birthday I gifted a friend Mrs. Dalloway, with a handwritten note inside saying why I loved the novel so much. She said it was the best gift she'd ever got...then tried to read it and couldn't get past the first page lmao.
That kinda sperged me out and damaged our friendship.
