>Therapy didn’t really work on Solomon because he didn’t want it to. They tried taking him to someone when he was twelve, after realizing his tantrums and crying fits were more than just being a spoiled suburban kid. But he wouldn’t talk to the therapist. Not a single word
>And what were Jason and Valerie supposed to do? How do you discipline someone who wants to spend all day in his room? If they grounded him from the computer or TV, he’d just read books all day. And neither of them was going to start taking his books away
why normies have so much respect for books? I've seen something similar happening when I was younger (they still do it desu): if my parents found out that I was using the laptop on the bed after midnight they would get mad, but they never got mad at me after seeing me still awake and reading a book at 6 AM after spending the whole night doing so, it's just a fucking book, they can be just another form of entertainment if you can sit down for a few hours

>be me
>starts watching a cute booktuber
>she recommends some books
>I actually read a few of the books
>booktuber makes a new video after a few months following the channel
>the importance of reading women authors or something like that
>she says that she is trying to read more females
>I'm like "what? do people actually care about this?"
>I take a look at the books that she recommended and I read
>only females
>wtf
>I was manipulated by her cuteness
>I tell my friend about what happened
>female authors becomes a meme in our talks
>we laugh every time we see one, especially when they write fiction or things like movie novelization
>at some point it becomes unironically
>I stop reading any non scientific book wrote by a female
was it my fault? does that makes me a male chauvinist (google couldn't come up with a better translation of machista)?
