/lit/ - Literature

Got an e-mail from Indigo saying some books I ordered came in. They have a promo where if you spend $50 you get a $10 gift card, so I figured I'd pick up some /lit/ recommendations. Got The Brothers Karamazov, Notes from Underground and Lolita. Tucked Lolita in the middle to reduce the chance of being labeled a pedo. As I'm paying, the female cashier scans Lolita last and looks at me with contempt.

I seized the opportunity.

"Have you read it?"
"No. It's not the kind of book I'm interested in."
"You're not interested in classics?"

She then finished my transaction and gave me my bag without saying a word. How often does /lit/ have fun cashier experiences when buying books?
