One time my sister and I were play fighting in a pool. She was on top of me shoving me under water pressing her hand upon my back and I become desperate for air. Flailing about I grabbed her flesh and squeezed it with all my strength till I was released. Gasping for air and coughing out water I am confronted by mother and grandmother harpies yelling at me, "YOU DON'T EVER TOUCH A GIRL THAT WAY!!!" as my sisters is crying and holding her chest. Turns out I squeezed the nonexistent milk from my sister's utters in my desperation to not drown and the only thing these fucking hags could think is her brother is a pervert squeezing his sister's breasts. I hate women so much. Love my sister.

I use a kindle scribe and before I bought it I used one of the first paperwhites.
Personally I prefer the scribe because it's way bigger and I can read, write and draw naked women on it

This is the first one I made. I've never drawn in my life so I don't know how good or bad it is but I personally enjoy it. It's not even sexual for me, I just draw what I enjoy looking at and when I do it I enter this sort of meditative state where nothing else exists but me and the curves of this anonymous girl.

I've got this model of Kindle I forgot the name but it's the more expensive model compared to the paperweight.
I've never seen anyone else use it and apart from its different shape from other models, the difference is that you can choose how "yellow" you want your pages to be. Not really worth the extra price but it has a nice premium feel.

NTA but neither of you are totally wrong. Bloom's sex drive was killed off with the death of their son, but Molly's obviously wasn't. iirc there's a scene where he sees two animals fucking and his mind immediately goes to conception and then death of his child so there's a mental block there he can't get beyond. In Molly's chapter at the end it's clear she's still in love with him but she does want him to "man up and give her the dick" in a sense, and she essentially admits to cucking him to hope to get a rise out of him so he'll fuck her again; in the absence of this she says she'll continue to rub her affair in his face (literally, if she has to).

Which were what? Besides which the US was a backwater until it did a whole lotta war profiteering in the early 20th century so I‘m unconvinced that more Virginians than, I guess, Northeastern Frenchmen reading a home bible was a factor.

There's barely been any watchable movies in 20 years. Trying to read recent, popular books tends to make me nauseous in the first few pages. Everything is saturated in retardation and actual malicious evil.

maybe, but no one else is writing it, so it's first come first served. robert southey, an englishman, wrote an epic about joan of arc, so there's precedent for poets celebrating foreign heros.

I always drop the Iliad. I love the Odysessy and Aeneid but I can never bear to stick with the Iliad. I think it's down to me feeling as if Ive missed a lot of the text because there's so much information given that I can never remember whole passages, and to carry on seems pointless. I've tried the Rieu and Fagles translations.

NTA, but it's understandable how someone could enjoy one but not the other. Paradise Lost is lofty in its subject matter and its language and it makes itself clearly so. Moby-Dick, on the other hand, is pretty dry, and without a close reading, may be understandably boring.

>>24782497
Since I have undertaken to manhandle this Leviathan, it behooves me to approve myself omnisciently exhaustive in the enterprise; not overlooking the minutest seminal germs of his blood, and spinning him out to the uttermost coil of his bowels. Having already described him in most of his present habitatory and anatomical peculiarities, it now remains to magnify him in an archæological, fossiliferous, and antediluvian point of view. Applied to any other creature than the Leviathan—to an ant or a flea—such portly terms might justly be deemed unwarrantably grandiloquent. But when Leviathan is the text, the case is altered. Fain am I to stagger to this emprise under the weightiest words of the dictionary.
[...]
One often hears of writers that rise and swell with their subject, though it may seem but an ordinary one. How, then, with me, writing of this Leviathan? Unconsciously my chirography expands into placard capitals. Give me a condor’s quill! Give me Vesuvius’ crater for an inkstand! Friends, hold my arms! For in the mere act of penning my thoughts of this Leviathan, they weary me, and make me faint with their outreaching comprehensiveness of sweep, as if to include the whole circle of the sciences, and all the generations of whales, and men, and mastodons, past, present, and to come, with all the revolving panoramas of empire on earth, and throughout the whole universe, not excluding its suburbs. Such, and so magnifying, is the virtue of a large and liberal theme! We expand to its bulk. To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be who have tried it.

I read because real life is a slog and it’s escapism. Also, when reading something truly good I feel like I’m learning something about life, a new perspective, a new way of thinking about things.
I try not to do anything in bed other than sleep or else it loses its designated sleep factor and sleep comes less easily. I have a comfy chair and a side table where I read (pic of table).

>What spawns your desire to read?
boredom and loneliness mostly

>>24782862
My complete and utter boredom with any other type of media, especially algorithm based ones where a faceless tech company tries to tell me what I want to consume

>>24782862
I read for either entertainment or understanding. If I’m bored, I will pick up fiction to entertain myself. If I want to learn about a topic or increase knowledge of the self, I will pick up some philosophy or non-fiction. Literary fiction is nice because it’s a little bit of both.

>>24782862
well sometimes i gotta take a massive shit so i read during that and sometimes when i go to take a massive shit someone else is already in the bathroom so i have to go to the downstairs bathroom but after i finish my massive shit i'll be worn out and not feel like going back up the stairs so i'll lie down on the couch and read there until i've recovered
