Unless it's a very small book that you don't mind potentially ruining (books don't like being stuffed into your bag at a moment's notice), take a fucking e-reader, you mong.

Listen to audiobooks, if you cant find an audio book and have the epub or text, use CoolReader for acceptable android for text to speech. If you have pdf or other formats convert them to text/epub with Calibre for windows.

Only pretentious pseuds read on train. If you have to commute so long that you can't read otherwise you have no business reading intellectual works in the first place. Back to work , slave! Reading is for patricians who are wealthy and have free time. You won't use that knowledge anyway. It was a mistake to teach plebs how to read.

I thought we discusses this already? If you have a book that hasn't been noticeably marked by readings because you're too afraid to damage it, you do not own books, you own wood pulp and binding.

If he's reading the same book in two different translations or languages I get it.

I learnt German by reading trash books with the English version on the side.
