As I lay dying was pretty baller for the 50 pages I read while shitfaced on rye. I read the rest sober though.
>>
>>8164584
I generally find reading while drunk impossible. Not a fan of drinking alone either.
>>
Li Bai
Tao Yuanming
Li Qingzhao

Dunno about while drunk, as I find it difficult to read in that state like the earlier poster said, but Vonnegut's Timequake is the perfect book to read while tripping on acid.
>>
I've been a neet for 3 weeks now and been drinking+reading pretty much every day.

Ulise di James Joyce

That Kafka short story where he and his friend get pissed together and they go on a magical adventure together.

three men in a boat

>>
>>8164584
I know the shopowner who posted that sign means well but I would probably just steal all his books anyway even though I am quite well off
>>
>>8164584
Who the fuck can read while drunk? I did it one time, years ago, and I had to reread the same fucking page like 10 times.
>>
>>8165126
I find, if I start drinking while I'm reading, I'm doing fine,

but if I try to start reading when I'm already drunk, I can't focus for shit.
>>
>>8164584
Rip business.
>>
I love reading when I'm drunk (starting out reading, though, like this anon >>8165293). I appreciate prose way more when I'm drunk. But I can't remember anything, not even a sentence, when I wake up.

mine is right next to me, conveniently within reach.

I don't know I'm never really sober except for my morning piss. I just read the Stanhope book digging up mother and that was a great one. I drank more to get in the right mind frame. I wouldn't be able to read sober the book would be shaking to much lol tip to you
>>
>>8164775
It depends more on your definition of being drunk than anything. If you mean drunk to the point where your head's spinning and you're puking like a fountain, then it's obviously not going to work.
>>
>>8165906
you're an alcoholic my dude
>>
>>8166222
Thanks I wasn't to sure about if I was except when I touch my abdomen and my liver hurts or you mean you are too ?
>>
>>8165918
Well yeah usually college freshmen girls at their first frat party typically aren't reading
>>
>>8164584

I can't read while being any measure of drunk. I will never remember what I read in the morning, so what's the point? Writing is a better thing to do while drunk.
>>
>>8164584
Raymond Carver etc etc
The Sun Also Rises etc
>>
>>8166576
Jesus am I the only drinker here or something ?
>>
Finnegans Wake
>>
>>8166595

Nah I'm drinking right now, hence why I'm here instead of actually reading.
>>
>>8166576
How old are you?

>>8166612

Read drunk, shitpost sober.
>>
>>8166622
I'll probably end up reading, but it'll be something I've read before.
>>
>>8166629
Yeah I'm reading some Vonnegut so multi tasking always a good go to entertaining read, what's your poison?
>>
>>8165416
>Toms

I don't save reaction images, but if I did, my pic related would be of a person with a facial expression of utter disgust.
