Is that Infinite Jest?

I read at work

Effay

>>8243122
Yes

>>8243121
I read on the bus to university

if I was in a place like that I'd be too busy looking at the view to read

>>8243127
You must be real smart anon to understand such dense work.

>>8243127
you look like a dyke, which is kinda hot

>>8243121

Yeah on occasion if I have time to kill and it's convenient. Airplane, doctors office, between classes, that sort of thing. I can't be fucked to leave my house for the sole purpose of reading.

What country is that, Vietnam? I see a red flag with a yellow smudge in the middle off to your right. Plus it looks humid, a bit down at the heel, and you're Asian.

>>8243121
I cringe equally hard at OP's pic and this one.

>>8243126
I used to browse /fa/ and /r/malefashionadvice, but now I shit post on /lit/.

>>8243140
Thanks bby

>>8243141
Yeah, I'm currently in Hue, Vietnam for summer vacation. I'm very impressed that you managed to spot that.

>>8243121
I want to punch this person in the dick.

>>8243121
It happens but I'm usually not in public to begin with.

>>8243160
Why tho

Here's another pic of me

>>8243170
post feet

>>8243174
They're not dainty or feminine. I will never understand you foot fetishists.

Princeton?

>>8243179
Nah, I'm not Henry.

>>8243178
>They're not dainty or feminine.
not a problem
> I will never understand you foot fetishists.
I'm not a foot fetishists.

You look like you have a great, tight vagina.

>>8243121
>>8243170
Classic example of angle and lighting making someone look good, I bet you look fucking hideous IRL.

I read on my phone, so everybody just thinks I'm chatting or some other retarded shit.

Fuck off.

>>8243121
That watch, this must be bait.
You seem boring.

>nouveau-riche Asian of the not Grorious Nippon variety atavistically flaunting status symbols
>thinks Infinite Jest symbolizes his status of being erudite and deep
>doesn't have the verbal acuity to realize we're memeing the fuck out of Infinite Jest

If I read in public it's the most remote and quiet place possible and is hardly "public".

>>8243121

Where was that pic taken?

>>8243211
he doesn't look good in either photo

>>8243141
It says Vietnam-Bank if you look the right of his shoulder.

It's not just the book, it's his watch, shoes and his posture which all signals that he's a pleb.

>all these gayboys
>on my board

Disgusting

>>8243158
mfa is pretty damn smug. I've always preferred /fa/ because it's way more chill. You should probably come back and post some inspo pics f@m

>>8243242

Can't honestly criticize someone's clothing right now.

In my defense, I live in America, it's the 4th of July, and we're in a 97 degree heat wave.

>>8243260
Why shouldn't i? He's literally wearing a composition of hype-clothing.
It's like you could substitute the word pretentious with a picture of him.
More to say, you can see the insecurity by how he looks. Take the clothing away and you'd have nothing. A mere image of a Person.

>>8243170
Do you have a genetic disorder?

>>8243121
>>8243170
Are you the "I study at Oxford and am fashionable, what have you done with your life?" guy or do we have two baby faced Asian bois on here?

>>8243272

I meant to say "I can't criticize anyone's clothing right now".

You go on right ahead.

>>8243158

Neat, my brother was in Hue this summer too. Did you ever see a tall white guy called Thor? Just kidding, it's a big city. I've always wanted to go to Hue because the battle was there, and I like battles.

But don't your books get foxed and mildewed as fuck in SE Asia? Anywhere that hot and humid really, I've had issue with books I ordered from Hong Kong and Australia.

>>8243170
Get broader shoulders and trim that face fat . Then you'll be good-looking

>>8243277
I'm not Henry, the guy who goes to Princeton.

Yes, there are two baby faced Asian bois here.

>>8243121
I read outside, not at all in public though. I read on the grass in the most remote corners of parks I can find and on all sorts of abandoned plots where even bums and stray dogs avoid straying into.

Pic related: behold one of my favourite reading views.

>>8243121
this looks like việt nam, đúng không?

>>8243158
I thought HUE was Brazil?

>>8243329
that's pretty cool man. sounds spiritual in a weird urban way.

This is some deep bait. Perhaps the most elaborate I've seen. I respect that and also these haters are pathetic I mean really get a life

>>8243244

>>8243121
You degenerate, the book speaks against phony people like you. You're doing everything wrong. Never post again until you correct your attitude.

>>8243349
It isn't even elaborate, or deep m8. He just chose a few simple things that /lit/ is autistic about. Elaborate and deep is memoirfag, if he is b8.

>>8243329

Is that one of those things that's supposed to hold water if there's a flood?

It reminds me of this abandoned factory where me and my friends would play as kids. The walls and roof were gone, it was just a wide expanse of concrete, junk, and scrubby forest.

>>8243337
Puts you in a pensive mood, doesn't it? Plus it's very quiet. You can only hear the birds, squirrels and uncanny horrors lurking beyond the treeline.

>>8243372
I don't know what it was used as, if it was ever used. It's on the site of an abandoned military compound, a defense fort from the 1890s, though that pool is definitely more recent.

>>8243277
>>8243283

100% Henry, never been so sure of something before in my life

>>8243121
we will dress you up, OP, I start

>>8243121

Do you know Henry

Before I went to uni, I was considering reading philosophy at Kings College London. In the open day lectures, there was a girl sitting in the front row wielding a copy of Madame Bovary in a futile attempt to get the professors' attention. Eventually, one of them noticed and laughed at her pretension. She left the room crying and I didn't see her again.

Can I please suck your dick, OP?

>>8243415
Yes. I have him added on my Facebook. We went to the same high school.

>>8243170
You look like an asian version of elliot rodgers

thats not public

>>8243121
Infinite Jest is a meme, OP. :[

Oh god, this just got even better.

If I was a mod, I'd delete this thread before he gets bullied into suicide or he goes on a killing spree at his fashionable uni.

>>8243506
is nguyen a common name?

Post top 10 books OP

>>8243545
>is nguyen a common name
Can't tell if sarcastic or not
But yes, it's the most common Vietnamese last name.

>>8243506
Thanks for posting this.
I have been feeling like shit lately but seeing people like this actually exists makes me feel a little better about myself.
I suck but at least not in such a deep level.

>>8243545
>is nguyen a common name?

>>8243547
This aggression will not stand, man. Your wife owes money-

>>8243571

>>8243575
Cute as in Thai boy pussy cute.

>>8243571

Useless threads like this one get more action than lit threads.

Lmao what a pretentious loser

>>8243582
yeah I'm only here because it's active, none of my threads get attention

>>8243578
>>8243121
What a handsome boy.

>>8243588
He's the grown up version of the kid from Good Morning, Vietnam!"

I never leave the house.

What is this, reddit?

OP here.

Thanks for posting my pictures you fucker. I'm going to cum in your twin sister's pussy.

>>8243588

>>8243598
joke's on you, my sister has a penis!

>>8243614
is your sister Michael Nguyen?

>>8243615
I am Michael Nguyen.

>>8243631
She looks like the type I would take with to a book club reading of 100 days of sodom

>I am handsome, smart, athletic and virile.

I read on the bus and at work early morning. It's funny, I used to read a lot in my phone and felt like I was masquerading as a normal person just wasting time on the phone instead of something as 'pretentious' and 'poser' as reading a book. It made me feel at ease and blending in the crowd. But I've recently fell back on the old real life paper books and I find it a nuissance to carry them around everywhere (particularly long novels which I read the most) and reading them in public makes me feel awkward like I'm some kind of intellectual posseur. But I still do it. Fuck it.

>>8243389
first kek on /lit/ possibly in years. killed me. this shit's straight out of thackeray

i'm a giant orson welles

What's wrong, guys? I'm Vietnamese, and I think my face type is really common here, and my Instagram description was obviously for fun.

Though this place was have the highest IQ.

>>8243121
I read on the bus because the faces of enjoyment I subconsciously pull whilst reading effectively repel normies.
