What are you reading tonight & how /lit/?

I'm reading The Brothers Karamazov with Stravinsky on in the background, a glass of water for refreshment & browsing /lit/ for a break in between chapters.

Also if you're not reading, explain yourself!

I most likely won't be reading tonight unless I can remember to grab something to read while I take my friend to her night class and wait. Chances are I'll end up on 4chan or whatever else on the internet, but who knows eh?

Well, I'm trying to get better at my reading habits, so I was hoping that /lit/ would be able to help me with that over time. Don't worry, you won't have to deal with me all the time, since /x/ is my home, but I kinda like it here so far.

I think I can explain this one, old chum.
OP was attempting to appear intelligent and sophisticated via name-dropping (the same thing he always name-drops).

In posting works of actual intellect, which we can assume the OP has never heard of, you bruised his ego, leaving him with no recourse but to call you a troll.

I may have misjudged the situation but it is highly unlikely.

I make no attempt to appear smarter than I am. I haven't of those authors, but I would have assumed those were real books rather than a joke if it weren't for that chapter changing at the end there.

Well, I was reading The Plague in a dimly lit room (the glow of my Macbook was the main source of my reading light). All the while sipping on some yogourt drink with news coverage of the mayoral race blaring from another room in the background.

I read for about 50 pages then decided to go online/do uni work.
