alas, the answer is
>be attractive

If you're not attractive enough to immediately cause a physical response in her you're almost doomed to failure. Don't get butthurt about it, that's just the way it is... It takes time to build mental attraction, time which you won't have standing in library/coffee shop/public transport looking goofy.

If you still have to try could try an interrupt (walk past her and accidentally bump her, drop something or otherwise interrupt her 'accidentally' then apologise and use that to launch into a conversation: "Oh shit, sorry. Did I get my coffee on you? Hey is Ulysses by James Joyce? You liking it? I'm pretentious too, we should have babies.") you won't provoke the immediate negativity of actually interrupting her reading, but even then it'll fail unless you're attractive.

Ok so lets say a 'cute guy' said hello to you on the bus and asked about your book, your day etc, it would be ok to respond to him yeah? Seem's fair.

If a not very attractive guy asked, you would answer very short and not engage him further because he wasn't 'cute'. Ok.

Now would be a good time to point out that the cute guy talking to you could be nice and smart and caring, or a complete asshole. He might talk to you for a minute or two and then preposition you into giving him your number etc straight away. Same to be said about the not attractive guy, could be either way.

Anyway, if its appropriate for a woman to do this, why am I scum for not engaging with a woman I don't think to be very attractive?

I think you are missing the point. "She" is only interested in "cute" guys talking to her about what she is reading. She would not be interested in an ugly guy coming up and engaging in discussion about the subject matter of the book.

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but she kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face.

>She Is Nerdy
Godamn it those videos are great but they are fake as all godamn. Their interactions are so stiff I'm honestly surprised the girl puts out even though I know I'm watching porn.

Not to mention I remember watching one where the guy says the book one was reading was a part of a set of 3 whose spines formed the Russian flag, they go to his house and the third book is fucking orange, forming the Dutch flag at best. This really tickled my autism.

No, you're just a delusional retard. But, hey, anon - ever notice that I get literally zero anons posting to contradict what I've written but just to cry their feelings about me at me? Get over the trip already, retard. You're all bad rationalisation and it's embarrassing.

Not that anon, but there is indeed something irksome about having to notice that one specific person is authoring all these retarded posts, and nothing else

There are 4chan extensions with filters, so really we've only ourselves to blame here.

Because you rarely post anything of substance, and when you do, its in such an obnoxious manner that nobody wants to speak with you and they simply despair that you havent ended your sordid, small life yet. I saw you come into a thread the other day and say "I have something really relevant to this, but I'm not gonna post it, stay ignorant plebs". Where's the rationalisation behind that, apart from being a sad, attention-seeking cunt?

And stop pretending you're a paradigm of rationality when you say things like this

>I get literally zero anons posting to contradict what I've written

which are LITERALLY just wrong

Your posts just consist of poorly constructed attempts to push peoples buttons, insults and badly drawn conclusions. I'm done here but you will stay, you will stay waiting for someone to acknowledge you like you desperately need them to

Theoretically, I was satisfied. I flattered myself that I had limited my wants. But I was subject to irritation; I used to have morbid sterile hateful fits of hunger, of desire. Now I really am satisfied, because I can’t think of anything better. It’s just as when one has been trying to spell out a book in the twilight, and suddenly the lamp comes in. I had been putting out my eyes over the book of life, and finding nothing to reward me for my pains; but now that I can read it properly I see that it’s a delightful story."
