Probably only just started reading recently but likes reading books based on movies (hey yknow that's what got me into reading at first too).

You probably browse /mu/ more and like to visit record stores and starbucks too. You're probably the guy who would go to my local Tescos and spend five minutes browsing the charity table book sale and just take all the good shit before I get the chance to do that.

Probably bisexual, might've drunk cum once in college

Massive fan of Woody Allen

Gaining a genuine interest in literature but not enough that you disconnect from reddit or the wider world to delve into a cesspit of Dostoevsky vs Tolstoy memes

probably a chill guy but also probably has to remind all of his buddies that you're currently reading something atm

6.4/10, you're probably OK really and that's fine but there's also probably a bit of that hipster dweeb that might make you come across as elitist to your normie buddies and that might make you come across as a silly so-and-so around people who know better, you probably try to act more well-read than you really are, probably wearing some plaid right now and putting on some beard oil, probably listens to father john misty and my morning jacket and fleet foxes and neutral milk hotel and many other performers of the elephant 6 label and partially you find it appealing because you don't know many others who know it exists but also because in all sincerity it's just some good music really

Mainly post on spanish, because english is not my native.

>"Hi! I saw you checking out that book!"
>"It's one of my favourites haha, do you want to grab a coffee with m-"
>I hold up a single open hand while she is speaking, immediately silencing her, then turn to a random page in the book I was checking out
>I smile quietly to myself as I read the entire page, occasionally snorting cryptically
>After finishing the page I close the book and hand it back to her, still smiling
>Me: "He's terrible, isn't he? Absolutely awful. Put that book back and please follow me to their Joyce"
>I throw Infinite Jest at her and she puts it away for me with an alarmed look on her face, then I take her to the Joyce section of the librairie
>Her: "Joyce? Yeah I read part of Dubliners in my 400-level community college English class. Do you, uh, d-do you think he's good--"
>"Read this"
>I have shoved Finnegans Wake under her nose
>"Out loud"
>her: "ba...babba......bababadgharf....bababagargrfap--
>I rip the book out of her hands and stare directly into her eyes
>me: "Completely wrong, it's bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoor-denenthurnuk. bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoor-denenthurnuk is portmanteau of various thunder-related words from languages all across the globe; in this context it represents Eve's tragic fall to Satan and the subsequent collapse of Eden. It is perhaps the single most important, emotive, and creative word ever spoken in the entire history of human speech, literally transcending language, and you cannot even read it."
>I throw Finnegans Wake in her face and inform the rest of the purveyors of literary classics that an illiterate has wandered into their domain
>I leave the store with a copy of Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception under my coat, unpaid for
