Do you read on public transit?
>>
No, the shaking annoys me on a small phone screen. I guess I could increase the font but then I'd have to constantly turn pages.

I'd like to, but there are always gypsies on public transit that will try to steal your wallet and phone if they see that you are not paying attention to your surroundings but to a book.

Trying to read whilst on a train or car gives me a headache.

I only read seismology research articles on my phone

>>23965790
Of course but I'm also Europoor.

>>23965790
I used to in sixth form but all the blacks began treating me as autistic. Now I only read on long train journeys.
>>
>>23965790
Almost exclusively.
>>
>>23965790
Yes. Sometimes I get nervous whenever there is a sex scene happening and someone might see what I'm reading.
>>
>>23965790
I am not poor so I don't leech off of taxpayers
>>
>>23965961
So you don't use public roads either? Based anon

My train commute to and from work is my main reading time, besides a little before bed
>>
Last time I rode public transit a black man asked if I had cocaine and then told me to listen to chainsaw henny, and that I would become a millionaire by listening to him.
>>
>>23965790
Not sure what else I'd do besides stare outside or look on my phone. It's the time I do most of my reading during uni
>>
>>23965790
only on my smartphone so I look normal
>>
>>23965790
Used to, now I write on public transit

I don't ride public transit. Stay broke
>>
>>23965790
No, I only read at home.
>>
>>23965790
the vibrations don't help, so I really don't read in public transport
>>
>>23965790
I try to but I get distracted by my surroundings everytime. Being a people watcher and cloud watcher isn't a choice, it's a disease. It's a shame everyone is just on their phone these days. Something quite inhuman about it.
>>
>>23965790
I try to, but sometimes I get too anxious to concentrate properly
>>
>>23965790
i used to read books on the subway. it increased the likelihood of an attritive woman sitting next to me, though i would tend to miss my stop because of book absorption.

i stay away from the subway these days because its filled with criminals.

I used to read books while commute ing and it was unpleasant experience because people will look at you all times trying to catch what kind of book that you read in there, then you will change your posture often because it was discomforting, staying in one posture for too long will literally caused headache because neck muscle tension thing, then the noise from every sides, discomfort in short. the good side is that nobody would bother asking you to give up your seat because of it, reading a book held a higher hierarchy amoung public transport user than people who look at their phones, therefore nobody would dare breaking your sacred activity of book reading so that old farts or kids or pregnant retard can sit in your place

No I'm an American black and other niggas (not meming) would jump me.

I used to read while taking bus rides in college. I don't know how it makes other people sick. I just hate wasting time.
>>

Sigh...yeah.

>>23965790
Public Transit?
>>
>>23965790
Yes, every day. And nobody cares what you're reading. Stop being a little bitch.
>>
>>23971719
Wrong. I silently judge those who read garbage in public
>>
>>23969922
I’ve been to prison and know a lot of ghetto blacks. There is zero stigma against reading, a lot of blacks just don’t read because they’re lazy but they don’t hold it against you then against you for doing any other form of hard work, and some are impressed by it
>>
>>23965790
Of course I don't read on public transit. I only listen to the Fresh and Fit podcast on full blast. When they start cursing at the female guests and calling them bitches and sluts, everyone on the bus becomes aware that I am an alpha male who is not to be trifled with
>>
>>23965790
I read mein kampf every day on the bus to school
>>
>>23971958
Unironically I feel like there's less stigma against reading now than 5-10 years ago now that people have become tired of social media and also because of the meme that "reading makes you rich / is what successful people do" (blacks literally worship money).
>>
>>23971468
Yes, bot. Public transit.
>>
>>23965790
Sometimes.

Why would you let their opinions influence your actions?
>>
>>23965790
I read at work, on the clock and in front of the cameras
>>
>>23965790
yup, my only gripe is that books cannot be over 1000 pages. Why dont they break up long books into volumes?
>>23965832
same
>>23965906
I used to but now i relish in it. Just think about it. You and everyone else in your city ride public transit. We have seen deplorable shit on the train. is the sex scenes from 1q84 reallly going to impact a person?
>>23968351
I always used to look for my self from that hastag hot guys reading on trains ;_;
>>23968969
savage
>>
>>23965790
I used to read actual books while walking to/from school, only looking up when I needed to cross the street. It was an hour commute each way so I could get a decent chunk read each time.
>>
>>23973419
I should try this, but I really struggle at staying focused at people talking, I don’t have this problem when reading.
>>
>>23965790
I don't take public transit. Where I live I'd just end up getting pissed on by a homeless negro... If I did live in an area where public transit was tolerable though, I would probably read, yeah.
>>
>>23965790
The fuck is this thread? Of course I read on public transit, that's a serious benefit of it: you don't need to focus on driving. If I'm on a bus or train, I'm reading.

Only very sad people (yes, that's you) care what others are doing on the train.

No I read while driving

What's the secret to this?
If I try walking while reading a book or my phone I can't follow the path or avoiding things easily.

Did you listen and become a millionaire?

Bliml
>>
>>23965790
Yeah, when there's a seat but often it's standing room only. The old buses have basically no suspension left so it's a bit difficult to read when they're shaking so violently, but fortunately the city is replacing them finally with nice new ones and reading on those is comfortable
>>
Any train niggas itt?
>>
>>23965790
I used to, if I tried it today I would crash the car because I drive and as a passenger would just get motion sickness. Sad
>>
>>23977682
Nope, and now I'm poorer than ever
>>
>>23965790

I tried several times to do so, to more or less kill time and do something "productive" with that time. However i just can't, there's too much noise, the bus is too shaky, and as one anon said, there is a flock of villeros out there who want to rob you in the blink of an eye.
>>
>>23965906

Same. Even if it's in a foreign language I'm still paranoid kek.
>>
>>23980352
cars arent public transit, retard-kun
