And you only read 4chan, you fucking pseud. Just be a normal person and don't mind what your relatives read.

>>10723953
It is your job to be read well enough to guide them into patricianhood. Congrats you failed (another) purpose of yours in life.

Tell your dad to readold man andthe sea.
Tell your mom to read the marquise of O.
Tell your sister to read irrungen wirrungen and to call me.

And with tell them I mean buy it (used you pseud), read it and tell them you thought that they would like it when you read it

>>10723953
>People can't like what THEY like, they have to like what I like

>>10723953
Let your fucking family read what they want. You're the faggot sitting in your room and sobbing over the sorrows of young werther.

>>10723953
>Wife reads romance novels & political thrillers
I'm just glad she's into used books. She finishes one of these off every 48 hours.

You literally can’t live a /lit/ lifestyle if you have other people in your house, suffering and loneliness are core to the entire experience. I’m embarrassed for you

Oh yeah, real patrician choice there, tell your dad to read something he already read in Jr. High. Ooh, maybe next he can have his sister read Goethe 4 weeks after her whole class did.

>>10723953

>dad keeps stealing your books
How do I make him stop? He not even taking the ones I stole off him.

>>10724198
You don't get to question my choices?

>Hey dad thought you might like this
>Oh yeah already read in injr high. Great book
>Really? You read? ...

That would literally solve his problem. Now read Felix Krull!

>>10723953
