Nah, if you actually read books you would understand the course of 'worn-ness' that a book goes through as it's being read. Even if you are quite gentle, it won't look pristine after you've finished it. You haven't read those books, and your accusation stinks of projection

Son, let me give you a little tip and life lesson. I don't mean to embarrass you; it's nothing personal. We all learn it eventually, although you're learning it a little later than most. But here it is: generally speaking, when someone annihilates you in an argument, and you have absolutely no valid counterargument and can't prove them wrong, it is highly advisable that instead of opening your mouth and confirming to everyone that you are extremely frustrated by that fact, you keep your mouth shut and accept defeat with grace like an adult. Everyone will still suspect that deep down you're seething, and that your blood is boiling, but at least you yourself won't be confirming it to the world - an embarrassing situation for all. You seem like an otherwise decent young man, so I truly hope this helps you going forward in your life. Best of luck.

I lasted for a good 45 minutes here yesterday, sitting on a pile of old wooden railway crossbeams that kept my butt slightly above freezing. Same thing cannot be said about my fingers. Comfy cannot begin to describe the feeling, minus the hypothermia (which is unexpectedly and treacherously comfy too). It seemed like you could hear the whole sky being glassy and silent. Sometimes there was a bark, then men shouting at horses, then a truck came from the city to dump snow right next to me and ruined it. I barely walked back, it took a while to get my blood flowing down my limbs again. All worth it. I love reading outdoors.

I only ever read when I'm stuck somewhere, like a classroom or a cabinet. Sometimes sitting in front of my pc ofcourse, but that's rare, just no reading mood at all.

The most unusual place is ofcourse my shower, I just sit down with a book and read it while water pours over me. Sometimes people ask why a lot of my books seem to be damaged by water, and I tell them my neighbours flooded me at previous apartment or something.

My reading spot is the cupboard under the stairs. Incidentally, of course, it just adjoins to my bedroom and it's quite comfy at the end with a few pillows and a blanket. There's a fairly decent light in there, too.

Oh shit, I had a pretty similar set up in montreal last year.

Building had bedbugs though.

I've always thought birds where the most /lit/ animal. I read a post on reddit about a lady that has chickens that follow her around and lay next to her when she reads in her garden. That's the most comfy thing I can imagine

Got 2 copies of it the other day for a nickle a piece. And the second volume for a dime. No third volume though. I was disappointed.

Had one as a kid. If you only get one parakeet they aren't very load at all. There are times where they really get singing, but it's only for 5-10 minutes here and there a few times of the day. Also, if you get annoyed with it you can just throw a towel over them and they just take a snooze.

I really loved having one, the only negative is they're all inbred unless you get one from a breeder (and then they still have health problems). Mine died after 3.5-4 years, the vet said most die in that time from strokes, seizures and heart issues.

My mom had one when she was a kid, apparently it's like having a toddler. Sometimes they're cute and cuddly, sometimes they throw tantrums and are unbearable.
