I’m glad I’ve never talked with anyone about books irl.

>>12265985
Maybe they gave it to your cheap because they wanted to you to stop talking to them

>>12265997

>>12265997
that doesn't make any sense faggot

A local book store always shaves off a few dollars on my total too anon. It's nice.

>>12265985
a cute girl gave me a discount at chapters one time
also I found some Hume for $3 recently

>>12265993
Why? I’ve had plenty of great conversations about books that really changed my perspective and got great recommendations from it. If you enjoy literature and don’t want to engage in other people with it, what the hell are you doing?

>>12265985
I went to a used bookstore once and there was qt though rather rotund black girl working the register. She talked with me for about five minutes about the book I was buying (Collection of Poems by Percy Shelley), asking questions about it and other stuff that I read and she talked about what she liked to read. She recommended a few things to me and treated me nicer than any girl ever had before.
I was beaming the whole drive home but I never went back because I was afraid she'd recognize me. I deserve the lonely death I'm getting desu.

I’m glad I’m not such a shell of a human that I read in order to interact with other people. Jesus.

You sound alright buddy. You've just got to embrace the frightening. I've found regret in life to be the leaps I haven't taken. Sounds very tough but it's the most sincere advice I can give you.

>>12266061
ur far better than you think you are
you can become the person you want to be, i believe in you. you need to believe in you

>local bookshop has replaced most of the classics with 50 dollar hardback anthologies

Only way I'll be supporting them is through taxes when their shitty store eventually shuts down and the employees become neets

>>12266074
I don’t. I just so happen ocassionaly discuss it

>>12266056
I'm afraid of being found out as a pseud.

>>12265985
i wish there were more variants on coffeefrog, i prefer him to apu

>>12266178
Then stop being a pseud. No one can find you out as being something if you aren't that something

>>12266116
You said:
>If you enjoy literature and don’t want to engage in other people with it, what the hell are you doing?
>what the hell are you doing?
Implying it’s the main or at least a very significant motivating factor. Such inconsistency in your ideas so quickly shows why you like discussing books with people. Any brainlet that comes along probably has something to teach you. But to answer your original question, people like you who essentially don’t even pay attention to what they say and mean is why I’m glad I don’t discuss books with people out in the world.

No one ever talks to me at the local I go to most often. Maybe it's bc I always buy from the discount racks.

>>12266186
I like both. There's a decent amount of coffee variants, you gotta look for them.

>>12266178
just end yourself honestly

>>12266193
no, that isn't the case at all, it is because you're an ugly unhygienic loser

>>12266186
have some oc

>>12266186
coffee frog is just the right kind of smug

>>12266214
rude

Lol. He was trying to fuck your asshole, faggot

idk if someone already did this but here you go

>>12266186
I'm not sure I prefer him to apu but I get what you mean

>>12266241
rude it may be, but it is also the truth

>go to shop
>ask for the odyssey
>points me to pope translation
>no the t.e. lawrence translation
>eh?

>Forgive me father

>>12267000
pope is the ONLY kino english homer, everything else is shit literal translations that are 2nd rate to the original greek text. pope doesnt give a damn about 'preservation' and gives you his own beautiful verse that is the ONLY english lang homer that can come close to matching the EMOTION of the original texts

>>12267000
fuck yeah, a fellow patrician i see. t.e. lawrence translation is a beaut

People who think they often have good conversations about books with strangers are sub-130 IQ pseuds. I've found only a handful of people whom I can talk about books after 10+ years in academia.

>>12267379
i've had many conversations about books, but i still haven't had a single good one. unless this site counts. i've had a few here

>>12267379
You made a mistake: you said "whom" when you meant to say "with whom".
Ironic.

>>12266074
Jesus.

>>12265997
or OP is a woman.

A classmante of mine went to buy Aristotle's Metaphysics and she said she had a fairly long chat with one of the bookstore employees. At the end he have her his number, and a 50% discount.
