What's a good book I could read together with my gf on our train while travelling? Something short, maybe romantic, relaxing... we both like the classics, my favorite author is Faulkner, hers is Dostoevsky, we're going to be riding the train for some 6 hours through all manners of countrysides, over rivers and lakes and I just wanna surprise her with a book while being huddled together.
Thanks in advance!

Drop the books and just look outside, you ain't getting that kind of experience that often.

Ok enough with the trolling, you could read Tristan and Isolde, it's as romantic as it gets and fairly short. Should be good to do in 6 hours, my friend

If you're going to travel through the countryside and nature, then just look outside the window and enjoy the view, you faggoty nerd. Not reading a book for 6 hours isn't going to kill you and your girlfriend. Enjoy your time away from the degeneracy of city life and globohomo clownworld as much as you can.

Live Action Role Playing.
For the sake of simplicity, I'll give you a reductionist description:
"LARP" originally refers to what is essentially RPGs but you use your real life body and swing a prop sword instead of moving minis and rolling dice.
Now it can also refer to people who are pretending to be someone they're not, usually online and just because they enjoy playing make-believe. They don't always realize they're LARPing. An example is political extremists insisting they're going to form a group of resistance fighters and start getting violent, even posting pictures of themselves with tacticool gear, but never do.
