Sometimes I read on the bus as an alternative to scrolling my phone but sometimes my friends also take the bus and I am scared that they will laugh at me. What should I do?
>>34268682You should stop being scared of that.
I have many books in my house, but when I read in public I like to use my BOOX , it is e-ink reader .I stopped reading physical books in public, because this practice was like invitation for books lover to come and talk to me,most of them were talking with me normally about books and famous titles but then the talk will shift toward politics and social issues.I live in Saudi Arabia and this kind of discussion is the simplest recipe to spend the rest of your life in prison.
>>34268682>they will laugh at meGet better friends.
>>34268682They probably have never seen a book and won't know what it is
>>34268682>What should I do?Get better friends.Alternatively, be a better friend.
>>34268682Nothing wrong with reading. You shouldn't feel ashamed of that.
