You could be reading a PDF right now

>>6449732
Actually, yes. Thanks.

You could be having sex right now.

>>6449783
Look at the back of the girl. Wtf?

>>6449732
Well, i am reading your faggy posts OP.

>>6449732
You could be enlightened by your own intelligence right now.

i could be, but i am not, and i don't see anything wrong with that. sometimes i'm in the mood to read, sometimes i'm not.

head is cloudy from the liquid demon, read a hundred pages of The Castle today. Will read the last thirty tomorrow, and then start on Infinite Jest. Wallace seems like a strong voice, I hope he proves worthy to the praise you lot heap on him. Intro line was sexy as fuck

>Just finished reading a long ass book on Monday
>Taking the rest of the month off of reading

Feels good

>>6449732
I'm too busy laughing at Marxists getting BTFO

>>6449833
Ain't nothing on my well-developed trap beats *breaks glass*

Just finished an hour long reading session. Going back for more after a 10 minute /lit/ break

>>6449732
I am reading.

>>6450053
>10 minute

>>6449816
Is his post a book?

>>6449912
A MONTH?

>>6450081
OP didn't say anything about reading a book.

>>6449732
Working on term paper. Flipping back and fourth between microsoft word & /lit/. I suppose you're right though.

tru. thx u op

I was just finishing part one of gravity's rainbow, shit is so dense I have to take a break.

Or I could be writing. Someone snapped a fucking pic and I found it by accident. Look Way Back to the left by the window. Other people's are playing magics

Perspective

>>6450363
is the guy in the front incredibly good looking and he's ashamed that other handsome men will think lesser of him if they see him there?

>>6450392
Actually no. He's a fucKing gangly neckbeard. Who thinks the whole "au naturale, I look like I could join ISIS" look is striking to the one female that shows up from time to time

>>6449833
She's just a well endowed trap

The rarest dubs gonna land us all in trubs

>>6449732
I'm reading right now.

>>6449732
I'm reading AND having a beer

>>6449813
I wish. I would take sex over reading any day. Too bad the only girl I know right now who would sleep with me lives 3 hrs drive away. We talk about literature too, and when I'm with her after we fuck I can pretend I'm a character in a novel.

>>6449732
listening to audiobooks and posting dank memes. fuck you.

>>6450363
>>6450378
how embarassing

>tfw you already read over 200 pages today
feels good man

>>6450363
>>6450378
god damn that place looks fucking sad.

>>6450734
A bunch of people are socializing and doing something they enjoy, how is that sad?

>>6450761

It's because he thinks they spend all their time thinking on how to get laid just as him

protip: most neckbeards who don't give a shit and are social already got laid

I am going to turn my computer off right now and get some coffee.

>>6450724

200 pages is smalltime, hotshot

step it up

>>6450761
there grown men playing a childrens game

I spent the whole day reading the Logic. I just wanna browse this place and cringe at the obliviousness of most of the content of it.

>>6450805
It's a slow night but this store has one of the highest turnouts for weekly tournaments in the country. My best friend plays and wins 9 times out of 10. We hang out I between rounds.I go because there's free wifi to soak up and the owner doesn't care if I sit in the back and write since I usually buy a drink or snack. I make the tongue in cheek joke that I write sci fi in the back of a comic book store on Friday nights during magic tournaments but still have enough to fall to walk by the table where the people are playing D&D and think "pfft.. Geeks." I can't write at home because my wife won't stop coming into the spare room where I write and break my concentration. Also it gives me a chance to hang out with my best friend. He won the regional invitational last year and walked out with 1500 bucks. I'm serious he doesn't lose. He's been playing on store credit for years

>>6450856
What kind of sci-fi, hard stuff?

>>6450856
Are you overweight ? Please answer sincerely.

>>6451329
There's a picture of him in this thread.

This drunk? Nope.

>>6449912
>Not immediately picking up another book

I got drunk off of my fucking face last night while reading Huckleberry Finn and playing a shitload of Postal 2

Too hung over and exhausted to even give a fuck

>>6449813
I couldn't.

>>6449732

>reading litrashure when you could be shit posting

>>6449732
im reading this thread.

>>6452134
>not reading the same book at least twice more to make sure you will remember and fully understand the text

>>6450734

You now realise that this is how normies see people who read novels

>>6452241
>having to read a book more than once in order to remember and fully understand it
sure is /neolit/ here

You're right. I've recently been on a binge of Gore Vidal lately, would recommend his Julian to anyone and everyone. I'm going to return to Lincoln now, it's the same mix of entertaining and fascinating that I keep finding in Vidal's works, I haven't felt that about an author in a very long time.

>>6452281
Tell me the overall plot and your understanding of the last 5 texts you read.

>>6451329
Nope. 6'4 180

>>6452710
They front as a "comic book" shops.

They hook the younger patrons into these after hour sessions of D&D and the like.

Job and Satan?

how do you 'find' an image? was this posted elsewhere, and you were like, hey, or something, which of course means, as is also indicated by the magic cards near you, that you participate in playing magic, and that you read up on magic, which is NOT READING, ANON

>>6453620
Those are my friends cards. He leaves them next to my laptop so no one walks off with them. I was writing the whole time. I checked my Facebook feed and found the pic. Do you even Internet, bro?

>>6449732
on it boss!
See you schmucks l8r

STICKY WHEN?!?!?

>>6450363
you look autistic

Daily reminder

This thread should be on /lit/ at all times

Never Forget

This is my favorite thread. Sticky this

this thread will replace oxygen as the thing we need in order to live

underrated thread

best thread ever

>>6449732

You're right. Bye.

I'll consider it after I get my glasses

Good thread. Have a bump

>>6449732
B-but I'm writing p-poems i-instead

new sticky please, official board motto, etc

Whoooablackbettybampalamp

ersatz sticky

This and the original sticky are the only threads you need

But what if it gives foundation to my opinions? How will I fit in?

I love you, thread. I would drink hot cocoa and read books quietly with you, the only sound to interrupt our warm comfortable silence the occasional crackle of wet wood on the fire and the soft shrrrup of pages turning.

Page 2!? This needs to be page one

>tfw impotent

>>6449813
I sexed myself out when I was 18. I had a smokin' hot girlfriend who had sex with my almost twice a day every day for 6 years straight, that I desensitized myself to sex. It just started to feel mechanical, like I was doing it more for her than to make me feel good.

I'd rather beat off and read a good story anyday.

People will probably not believe me, but it's true. Too much of a good thing makes it not such a good thing anymore.

>>6456724
Meditate, clear your mind of all you have learned before you come unto /lit/. Then once your mind is clear, spout with the same ignorance you always have.

That way the board retains its image, and you are a nice individual.

>>6449813

>tfw no libido

>>6456161
You can't make out my face. You sound autistic for mentioning such a thing

>>6450099

I'm in my film phase. I seem to switch month to month on which medium I obsess over, though I'm going to finish my re-read of Kafka's Collected Stories tonight.
