fuck off, chad

Well, i bought the first book in the millenium trilogy for my gf. She finishes reading it, starts the second while i read the first.

I havent even picked up the damn first book tho

>>9805588
> tfw no bf to read with

>>9805606

>>9805588
It's actually pretty annoying I think. She's always interrupting me to tell me about something in her book. Or she reads only for a short amount of time and then lies there doing nothing (which makes me feel obligated to stop my reading early)

>>9805588

I would like to read the same book and see how she would interpret the scenes from the same lines.

I like anal

We started reading scifi classics together. Currently reading 1984 to each other before bed. Before that we read Fahrenheit 451. It's fun and I enjoy it but we're barely making progress since she falls asleep after a few pages and misses some parts of the plot and writing.

Is hard for you to find a clean and healthy girl?

my drunk, naked, thomist gf is crying

>>9805588

I read a chapter or two to a girlfriend from 'The Rape of the Lock' satire, I had to explain most of it, but I read it dramatically and silly and it made her laugh alot. I also kept comparing the beautiful Belinda to her, and she was very entertained and we enjoyed laughing about it all. Sure, she probably only enjoyed the sort of fairytale aspect and nothing of the satire, but we had fun storytelling that night....and I think thats a great part of alot of stories, sharing them, and acting them out, being silly or dramatic when reading it. Tis' an old past time, and wouldnt entertain most girls like netflix and getting fucked, but you can try.

>>9805917
hopefully from laughing, anon.

I think the last thing I read to my gf was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Before that, it was ¾ of the Harry Potter fanfic, My Immortal.

She sometimes reads books that I've just finished—mostly /lit/ memes like Stoner or Calvino. Lately, we've just been playing 3DS side-by-side in bed, all tired from a day of furniture shopping and unpacking boxes.

Thanks for asking, anon!

>>9805872
Your asshole is always going to smell like shit unless you just came out of the shower.

>>9805919
I am seething with rage that people like you exist and post on 4chan.

>>9805588
We're both reading Peter Kreeft. Learning about Catholic theology. Feels good anon.

>>9805737
nice

i'm gay. my bf and i live in NYC and work in finance. after work we go to the gym together, eat dinner, then read something from the canon together

Me and my wife read doorstoppers together in bed before we sleep. This saves space on my personal reading list for shorter works.

>>9805737
p good

>>9805588
>why are you always reading those hard books anon
every time

>>9805612
Fuck off, homosexuality is second only to bisexuality and omnisexuality in the glorious /lit/ rankings of superior orientations.

>>9805588
>reading together
Why? reading isn't a social activity.

>>9806003
So then fuck her after she showers.

I read books with my waifu

>>9806416
Anon, it's really comfy to cuddle with a at and fuck off. Like imagine reading, but when you put the book down instead of avoiding eye contact with your reflection down you get validated.

>>9806025

No worries, friend, I hate me too.

>>9805679

You're supposed to put your dick in it not your nose.

Virgin detected indeed, I wonder how you kept them at all.

>>9806146
Lol what a virgin bois u disgust me get a real girl and then ignore her like a fuckin man you faggot

>>9805588
my gf has pretty weak English

My girlfriend is finishing her PhD in Spanish lit so she reads circles around me (I finished my MA in English and stopped). Also, she doesn't have any time to read anything off her list, so the only time we read the same thing, it's because I choose to read something she has to read, and I just finished my program, so I haven't done that except when we were in the same class one semester. I don't think that counts really.

Before I was dating my current girlfriend, I was hanging out with a girl from Colombia that was practicing her English. I read 100 Years of Solitude while she read the books I lent her. Unfortunately, most of my library had been lost to a black mold infestation, so I lent her an Etgar Karet short story collection (the Busdriver who Wanted to be God, or something like that. We both liked that a lot) and As I lay Dying. These were pretty much the only books I still owned at the time.

I do miss being able to share books and talk about them with a significant other, but the entire time I've been dating my current girlfriend, one or both of us has been in grad school, so reading outside of classes and reading lists is too much of a chore to share the experience. I still haven't quite settled into the idea of reading for pleasure on my own again. I decided to pick up one of the novels I didn't finish in grad school, and I actually enjoyed it. I don't think I even tried to think of the paper I would write about it once.

>>9805588
>fling myself across her thighs on my stomach
>"want me to read to you?"
>"sure"
>she opens a beer for me
>"okay, so: ..."
yeah, it's pretty fucking awesome

>reading with someone else
is there a more pleb thing to do?

>>9805588
She's dyslexic. So hard no on that one. She listens to audiobooks sometimes.

Not that it would particularly matter, we don't have much common interest when it comes to literature.

I have no interest in a relationship where I'm not the girlfriend

My gf uncovered my deep patriachal views by realising i dont read woman authors.

So shes making me read clarissa dalloway by virginia woolf and im loving it

I like reading female authors with my wife's son while she is out during the weekends.

>>9807186
That's the most emasculating post I've ever seen.

>>9805588
My last three girlfriends always asked me to read to them since apparently I have a "very relaxing voice"

>>9806862
>Unfortunately, most of my library had been lost to a black mold infestation

fucking trogs...

>I only read books by MEN because I'm a MAN

>>9807186
She shit-tested you and you failed. She's probably fucking Chad behind your back now.

>>9807453
The resentment and passive-aggressiveness of this post shows why I don't read anything by women.

>>9807453
You're pathetic.

>>9805588
No, I do not.

>>9807460
Projecting

>>9807460
you don't get cheated on from failing one shit test

>>9807521
Women don't cheat because of shit tests, they cheat because they are horny and one guy isn't enough.

>>9807540
They cheat because of "uptrading" and nature of feminine trying to be the judges of competition, so to say the test.

>>9807540
>Women don't cheat because of shit tests

lol good one

but you dont get cheated on after one

>>9807599
You can be a perfect bf, rich, ten inch cock, good looking and still get cucked, women are impulsive and if she thinks she can get away with cheating she will do so no matter how many shit tests you pass.

>>9807613
literally nope, sorry. sounds like you're talking about bar sluts and not girls with a 0 to 3 partner count

there's edge cases where it could be ryan gosling or something you could be in trouble, but that's one in a million

Those are even worse, are you crazy? Once they found themselves 25+ and not "sexually experienced enough" (as they like to tell themselves) they will jump on the chance of fucking strange men, not to mention that if they're horny and willing that doesn't make any difference anyway. You are too naive.

>>9807540
>>9807613
Is this the theoretical virgin thread? Here's the real deal: women cheat on men they don't respect, and they don't respect feminized men.

Taking orders from a woman and reading feminized books is a great way to present yourself as irredeemably feminized.

>>9807652
Maybe, but they will also cheat because 'whatever why not'? You can't pin down a single reason.

>>9807652
>women cheat on men regardless of respect
If they can find a better deal they will.

>>9807648
>Once they found themselves 25+ and not "sexually experienced enough" (as they like to tell themselves) they will jump on the chance of fucking strange men, not to mention that if they're horny and willing that doesn't make any difference anyway. You are too naive.

nope, you just got too comfortable. this is "i don't find you attractive anymore" talk

>tfw used to read with qt gf on the couch all cuddled up and cozy
>USED TO

Don't you fucking remind me. ;_;

>>9807509
Literally cancer on a plate.

>>9807681
This isn't the only disease on that plate.

Gives me fond memories of my time in England, though. Good ol pub grub.

>>9807652
>thinking Bukowski was a feminized man
or all the other ones who got cheated on.

It's naive to expect a male virtue such as loyalty from women. Children don't mean bad, but they act like psychopaths.

How darest thou say my Calvino husbando is a meme?

>>9808413
Who cares as long as she's faithful and raise your kids.

>>9805737

>t.faggiest faggots in fagtownt

yall couldnt be more full of faggotry. im serious on that one

I read most of Banvilles - The Sea to her in bed. She didn't mind me reading ahead while she slept she just liked to hear my voice as I'm near mute.

>>9805588
Only did that once with my ex. We went to Barnes and Nobles because she wanted this photography book. I picked out Dr. Zhivago. We sat down for a coffee and ended up staying there for about 9 hours. (We went in the morning) We occasionally looked up at eachother and smiled but otherwise didn't move.

Finished both our books. Went home and fucked and went to bed.

I hate that bitch.

What do trogs have to do with it? I left my books in my parents' basement while i was moving, their crawlspace flooded, and black mold leaked into their entire house. The spores got all over everything.

I've replenished everything and have a much bigger library now.

We're reading Don Quixote together.
