Daily reminder.
Why the fuck would you read a book in public? Are you retarded? Go home and read you fat fuck.
If you read ebooks on your phone nobody will ever know.
>>25459441I read at the doctor's office waiting room often. No way am I gonna cave into the machine and scroll my phone and apps like some zoomer FAGGOT.
>>25459441>Doesn't read on lunchbreaks Oh, wait... you're a basment-dwelling shutin, you don't have a job.
>>25459441maybe you're trolling, maybe you're stupid, maybe you're lacking something spiritually, idk. why wouldn't someone want to read while out and about in nice environments?
>>25459450>ofteni haven't been in a doctor's waiting room in like 15 years whats wrong with you
>>25459493medication refills, it ain't that deep nyukka
>>25459441home can be too busy and noisy and depending where you live, it can be generally unpleasant. the home in modern times is a place of distraction and leisure. if I stay inside too long I'll get nothing done. so its good to get into a different environment, be it outside or at the library or wherever.
>>25459450boomers love to scroll at full volume in public
>>25459367That’s dumb. I think it’s performative and I read
>>25459665I used to read by the river in my city because of the nice atmo that I had nowhere near where I live. Is that performative?
>>25459652trust me i know lol
>>25459665>I read
>>25459441>fat fuck>referring to a person spending time outside
>>25459679No, if you drove there to be alone and read or something. But if you’re going about your daily life out in public you should be paying attention to what you’re doing and what’s going on around you. That’s when it’s performative.
>>25459692Do you really think I’m lying about reading books right now? Is that common here?
>>25459441I spend and hour a day on the train. Am I supposed to spend that time on 4chan instead?
>>25459367on a commute maybe. while making selfie videos as 60 year old white man, probably not.
>>25459441I spend 6 hours a day on public transport.
>>25460130You're not supposed to be reading while driving people around.
>>254594411. I am homeless and have nowhere else to read with good lighting when its late in the day 2. its easier to get absorbed in a book when you arent distracted by computer, phone tv or w/e3. mind your own fucking business you peabrain fat retard
>>25459441 I just like the ambience of public spaces.
>>25459720NTA but anyone who straight up says "I read," intransitively and without qualification, is a massive faggot.
>>25460338Just sounds like any other sentence to me
>>25459367Who is this old man? Why is he posting himself with big meme text talking like a booktok teenager?
>>25460951You don't read, so of course it does.
>>25459441I always read in bus going home from work, it is better than starring into the phone like every other normalfag.>>25459445>ebooks>on phoneOk normalfag
>>25459367>>25459441I like to read outside by the water when the weather is nice, but there can’t be too many people around or I’d get distracted
>>25461200How is “You don’t read” any less intransitive than “I read”? Also I’m a voracious reader. I read daily.
>>25461245>I’m a voracious reader.>I read daily.Still a massive a faggot.
>>25459441People like you need a fat horse cock in their ass
>>25459367Reading next to an open window is homosexual as fuck.Unless you are reading eight meters below sea level, you are a performative faggo.
>>25459367I honestly do not understand how this is possible, anyway. Too much shit going on for me to actually pay attention to what I'm reading. Combined with the recent influx of normie>I have ADHD and re-read the same line over and over againI don't know how people read in public without being stressed the fuck out. Even my brother moving around the house is enough to throw me off.Just came here from the stack thread, too. Why does this board even exist? To find the newest form of contrarian cool guy persona to adopt and reee at the normies?
>>25461312That’s probably just you projecting. I’m not even the first anon.
>>25461312>>25461316
>>25461382I’m with you. When I’m about and about in the world I pay attention to my surroundings. I would never be able to get comfortable enough to actually enjoy the book. I guess it makes sense for people who ride a bus or train every day for a significant portion of their morning and/or afternoon and they’re used to it or something, but I have a car. Whenever I'm surrounded by strangers I’m not relaxed enough to read a book.
>>25461382>>25461395You have to understand that many people out there do not suffer from (undiagnosed?) social anxiety disorders
>>25461416Neither do I, but I also don’t suffer from poverty. I’ve ridden on enough buses in my life to know what can happen to you on one if you’re not paying attention. I don’t know where you live but I live in Philadelphia.
last time I was reading in public it was while waiting on car maintenance and since I didn't really want to read anything particularly demanding in a room with a TV blasting I brought along the memoirs of a football hooligan chronicling his life of retard behavior. an elderly man commented that it was "nice to see a young man with a book in his hands" as I looked up from a page featuring the word "nigger" three times
>>25459367Reminder.Pushing this is anti-reading and anti-/lit/. Therefor OFF TOPIC. Send them back to /b/, please.
>>25461213This is peak NEET experience. The system hates how little it takes for a man to be happy.
