Mine is that I don't read. I just RP on here instead

Yeah I pretend to like reading because it makes me feel better about my indefensible political views, which btw are pretty based and redpilled

>>13639947
Yes I dress exactly like that woman in the painting when I read.

big ass woman

I don't read a book if I didn't wake up naturally on that day. I do my best to keep the book intact; no scratches, folds, dirty etc.
It's autism.

I read while jerking off. I Like to think of it killing two birds with one stone. The best sessions I had were while reading plato and homer.

>>13639995
*it as killing

>>13639995
Fucking weird as fuck but okay

>>13639947
I only read and critique on author sites.

I don't blame you.

>>13639947
I read w black cock in my ass, sometimes twice

>>13639947
I have back pain so I read in a kneeling position

>>13639947
I read 20 books at once, and switch between them throughout the day.

I only read in the morning and only if I have the day off.

I should've known. It has an almost pornographic quality to it, one you don't find in older works.

>>13639947
I read on all my classes, I half listen to what my professors are saying but mostly just read on my kindle.
I am not subtle either I will do it right there in front of them in the front row if I don't find a better seat for w/e reason.
The funny thing is that most of my professors actually like me and I have a hard time figuring out why.

>>13640959
my man. Except when I get obsessed with something that's how I operate too

>>13640959
Don't you get confused? I normally can comfortably read only 3 books at once.

>>13641203
Nah.
It’s like people who watch about a dozen of tv shows. You pick one up and slide right back into that zone

Today's my first day on /lit/. All the other boards seem to agree that this board has the highest IQ, and I'm greeted with this. The only reasonable conclusion is that this post is too high-IQ for me to understand

>>13642501
/lit/ seems to have gotten a lot shittier this year but i only started coming here this year so what do i know

>>13642501
>IQ
>>>/sci/

>>13642501
this board is just philosophical philandering. Nothing important has ever been said on here(except for this post of course), good book recommendations tho.

>>13639995
Why does anyone believe this to be anything but bait?

>>13639959
same is the way to go.

I like to stop at pages which numbers end with dubs or trips, quads and/or are divisible by 3. It's some kind of mental illness, an obsession that is haunting me for years, that applies not only to books but also hours and similar things

>>13642708
I like to finish a chapter before closing the book.

>>13642501
Well, if that's how you feel. My general experience is that there are some good recommendations here and there, but half the time you just find threads which you'd expect on /b/ and /r9k/
Also a lot of pseud tryhards

>>13641171
Funny, isn't it? I noticed it was something modern as soon as I saw too.

>>13639947
*sniiiiiiifffff*

>>13643186

I too love the smell of books.

>>13639947
I put this side of my bookmark facing the page i stopped reading, for example page 49 on the left of the book, 50 on the right
If I read 49 I put the bookmark facing page 50

>>13643209
Same!

>>13642708
OCD ?

>>13641171
If you think older painters didn't like to portray lusty ass you're in for a surprise.

>>13639947
I only read while balls deep in my mom's muff.

>>13642501
>this board has the highest IQ
>bunch of pseuds arguing over the mental masturbation that is philosophy, when they're not busy LARPing as authors
/sci/ is that way, friend. Only fart sniffers here.

>>13643409
>favors yudkowsky plebs over well-bred schizocrats
You just reveal your own ignorance

>>13643242
if I take that tripcode off, will you die?

>>13642690
Literally did this today reading the book od job, ofc, didn't finish with the book in my hand

>>13643428
No. I would become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

>>13639995
Heh, reminds me of that time when I was going back home on a subway train. I was sitting in front of this literal incarnation of the virgin in the virgin & chad meme (he had the same hairstyle and glasses) reading what could only be Parmenides by Plato. A little more careful look and I realized that a black guy next to him was constantly looking at him and the book and the virgin was obviously getting nervous as he was visibly unnerved by the fact that the black guy was staring at him and having this weird ass smile while looking at him. All of a sudden the black guy breaks the silence and asks, after minutes of pure autistic staring, "ay yo nigga u a intellectual?".
Everybody on the train looked at them since the black guy had literally no sense of how loud he was. The virgin looked around and he started visibly sweating, his lips dancing up and down. He looked onto his chest and said, that I barely managed to catch, "m-maybe..."
The black guy then tried to mumble something about Plato but he was unable to as he was literally laughing like a fucking monkey on the train, I'm not even sure if it was something about Plato as I couldn't hear because of his giggling while he tried to speak.
The virgin just opened his mouth like he was in pure shock and the black guy seems to have realized the harm he had done to that poor "just trying to read some basic philosophy" guy and immediately left on the next stop... it was obvious that this wasn't his originally planned stop. The virgin left on the next one. Everybody on the train was talking about what the hell just happened. Jesus.

oh the lubricity! I would CONSUME that!

>>13643539
Thanks for the cool story. I enjoyed it.

>>13639969
Same except without the bolero and cushions. Can't stand cushions.

>>13643550
>Lubricity is the measure of the reduction in friction and or wear by a lubricant. The study of lubrication and wear mechanisms is called tribology.
>tribology

>>13643602
'Tis also the state of being lubricious, that is, lascivious, lecherous, lewd, or libertine.

Imagine spending several hours drawing a picture for other men to get a chub looking at. The great artists weren't gaywads.

>>13643539
What I learned from experiences like this is to hate people. I probably hate you, since you left out how insufferable it is to be on public transportation with people after an incident on public transportation. Whatever normies do on reddit how they do it in real life is worse.

>>13643692
>Imagine spending several hours drawing a picture for money
There's much worse things to do for money.

>>13643673
I suppose we could say the same of tribology too.

>>13643757
Perhaps (with a nod to tribadism)

>>13643781
>tribadism wiki entry
Hahah. Those illustrations...

I have to read every paragraph twice to separate the writing from the author. The first read through I completely lose all immersion because I will get caught up in the words instead of their meaning as a sentence and have to read it a second time to understand whats going on.
