Who really gives a fuck? Just don't lurk. Plan ahead what books you're gonna get, walk in, grab them, and quickly walk out.
It's not fucking rocket science

Who is it hurting if you were just going to borrow the book from a library (for free) anyway?

Ok m8, let me know how 8th grade promotion goes
>>28566862
That's where I get pretty much all my books. Never had one I wanted that I couldn't find there.I've also ended up buying most of what I pirated from there because I liked it so much.
People still read books? Why? We have tablets now. I mean yeah it fatigues you faster but I just make sure to stand up and stretch my legs more often. If anything reading on screens is better for me since I have to get up and do some pushups or a couple sun salutations. Frequent breaks leads to better retention of information as well. Books are heavy, dirty, take up lots of space while being inefficient at storing data, and are fucking gay.

There's always the netbook, laptop, or desktop meme if tablets are no good for you.
>>28566988
I own an ebook reader but I still prefer to have an actual book. More comfortable.
>>28566886
No matter what, people will always judge you based on what you read. People stuck on fantasy and other easy "entertaining" reads are top tier plebs. At least give a try to poetry or academic reads.

Poetry and academic reads are just the tastes fags in charge gravitates toward, so they're considered top tier, but it's subjective. The whole "objective art" thing is dogshit.

>>28567312
Just look for subjects that are of your interest and get a book on it, it's not fucking hard.
More than being a buncha words telling a story, books are efficient ways to learn new things. You're gonna find references in books you'd never find online.
So then if you just want to keep it to fiction it's your own goddamn problem. But be aware that people who can into adult books will look down upon you. It's often assumed that big readers must have a vast ammount of knowledge on many subjects thanks to that habit, but if you're just a chucklefuck unable to read anything but fantasy or science fiction, then don't even bother mentioning that you read a lot. No one gives a damn about imaginary worlds, they don't make you interesting.
And drop the muh pseudo intellectual meme, just fucking grow up. Not everyone has to be a dumb arrogant prick just because they have interests that reach higher than high school.
>>28567547
Find me it on #bookz.
Oh wait you can't because it isn't there. Manchildren don't understand translations.
>>28567198
The only numale is you, clinging to your shitty antiquated pieces of shit, more a fashion statement than anything, instead of embracing the clearly superior option. The only downside is you can't show off how deep and intellectual you are for reading 3rd wave feminist literature in public.

>Idiocracy was a prophecy
Look m8, the only reason those books you wanted aren't in is because demand for library/physical books in general is down. Most people torrent this shit now, or watch youtube videos with the same information. In the old days the library/physical books were among your only options, now that's not the case. Back then pop star biography would still have been among the biggest selection (in the early 90s I remember there being 9 books on michael jackson alone in my library), there were just other options. Now only the biggest options are available AT THE LIBRARY, but there's more information now on any topic through unlimited media.

They're all strangers, just grab the book you want, check it out and leave, the people who will judge you will probably never see again.

Okey dokey blokey
There's nothing wrong with reading books for younger people.
Just remember that the people who write those are probably adults, and they're probably writing it because they enjoy it.
If anyone tries to criticize you, tell them you're a young adult writer or something.
Grow the fuck up nigga and start reading non-fiction

Even if it's not wrong it's still just easier. I mean there's nothing wrong with fapping to lolicon but would you admit to it?

People write YA fiction because it's an easier market to break into
Same with erotic fiction

If you read y/a (outside the rare example that borders on y/a and regular genre fiction, like Ender's Game or The Hobbit) you are automatically a pleb, but in the 21st century reading y/a as an adult is not frowned upon. Even my mum reads garbage like The Hunger Games.
I notice most patricians are people who have read literally 4-5 of the acclaimed works with preconceived notions about how sophisticated and great it is, and walk away with those same conclusions whether the work really merited it or not. Then, without ever reading any more books or giving a more honest effort toward those initial works, they spout forever the patrician meme.
Fuck them in the ass.
