sometimes you accidentally catch yourself looking at men's asses but you reassure yourself that you could never be gay since you love women so much but you make sure you don't deliberately look at a man's ass for the next hour (at least)

sometimes though an ass just seems to walk into your peripheral vision and you just can't not look at it, it's weird as hell and you don't know what to do about it

are you implying being called a dyke isn't offensive? that means you only like women...

No, yes, yes (not as a job however), no and no. Sort of not close.

>>1415004

well played

Ender's Shadow, Slaughterhouse Five, What if the Moon Didn't Exist? and Event Horizon.

>>1415027
what? you've said so before on here. neufaques = newfags. also in case you havent said before being embarassed of being gay on an image board of all places is fucking immature, it's not like you're a dyke or anything.

>>1415030

18, so yes--though I suspect pretentious is more fitting than classy.

>>1415036
What? I'm not a dyke.

>>1415043
I was trying to kid around with you. God you suck.

>>1415049
ok lets make it simple, the two ways i could have been 'totally wrong'.

1. calling you a dyke (which i didnt, i only commented on someone else doing so).

2. for saying you should be offended at being called a dyke.

one or the other, neither am i wrong.

19 yr old weaboo male. probably wants to move to japan after graduating in liberal arts.

>>1415333
Nah, 21 year old female, who isn't a fan of anime. Just a fan of their literature. And I'm a computer science major.

>>1415339
Time stamp your tits and post pictures.

>>1415339
damnit, it was 50/50 either weaboo male or computer science female. i flipped a coin.

Arms reach?

The only book that close is my Haynes Fiat X1/9 Owners Workshop Manual.

And now I'm defecting to /o/ because /lit/ is gay as shit tonight.

>>1415341
if that's sriq then she already did.

I think the people in this thread that are trying to guess the age and persona of others based on what is randomly within their grasp, sound really pretentious.

>>1415324
18, still in highschool.
But, since I live in cowtown I just can't really find a group of friends that I like.
Anyways, thanks man, you made my day.

>>1415350

All very true actually hahahaha

I'm in university studying English Lit and Philosophy though.

Haven't read many good books in my life but trying to read more.

>>1415349
>>1415348
I aint even mad

>>1415353
really?
i owned a bad ass truck with a 390 engine that roared when i drove down the street. i was reading a lot of hesse at the time. fucking love hesse. fucking love big block engines.

tell us about yourself op.

>>1415353
Yeah, I guess it is a bit weird that I like cars and books. I think it only works because I liked books first and THEN got into cars.

>>1415212

I'm still wondering how accurate you can be.

The Sickness unto Death - Soren Kierkegaard

26 yr old female in a cubefarm job, who can't believe that life sucks this much after college

>>1415383

No Longer Human
The Trial
The Dice Man
The Divine Comedy
The Poetical Works of William Cowper

>>1415397
lol. no, i am not projecting. i am just enjoying making up shit about people because of their list of books. i'm the one with the books in storage, but if i did have them at hand, i am sure you would not be able to guess anything about me except my gender, and let's face it you have a 50/50 chance of getting that right.

Teatro Grottesco - Thomas Ligotti
Finch - Jeff Vandermeer
The Scar - China Mieville
Kraken - China Mieville
Looking for Jake - China Mieville

>>1415403
20's or so, male, diverse interests, curious, probably an interesting person to hang around.

The Odyssey

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
If comic books count I have Hellboy: Darkness Calls right here as well.

>>1415409
19 male, and a big China Mieville fan.

>>1415409
male, you tend to read whatever you want, regardless of how it will be perceived by others. a fan of strange things, probably a little offbeat acting.

y u not do me guys?

>>1415407

no, it's no prob, jus' risin' you like we're at sum party or function. ben drinkin' a bit, I have. Why you got your tomes in storage?

>>1415425
books are in storage because i somewhat recently moved and don't know how i am going to store them in my room... i have a lot of fucking books... thinking about donating to the library.

>>1415413
Fairly accurate guess, I'd say. Pretty much spot-on for the most part.

>>1415422
mainly cause we kind of already know you.

>1415417
>19 male, and a big China Mieville fan.

22 male, so you were kinda close I guess. Actually, I'm a big Jeff Vandermeer fan and I've been trying to get into Mieville as they're both prominent new-weird writers. The reason there's so much Mieville within reach is that I was having a hard time deciding which of his works to tackle next.

>1415418
>male, you tend to read whatever you want, regardless of how it will be perceived by others. a fan of strange things, probably a little offbeat acting.

Hmm, I guess you're pretty much right. Well shit, good job.
