I politely request that you take my girlfriend's photo down.

She’s more into medical non-fiction and I love my fiction. Of all the books that I gave her (Bernhard’s The Loser, Stoner by John Williams and Kosztolyani’s Skylark to name a few) the book she liked the most, and her most favorite fictional book, was Anna Segher’s Transit.

I bet she smells nice. This picture made me happy for some reason. Not in a sexual way, just a good old fashioned smile. I hope she has a nice life.

>> No.13081962

Among her Favoriten are The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Le Petite Prince and of course The Alchemist.
Can't blame her, I wouldn't have picked up reading again if not for her.

Currently single but all my exs are well read. The first one really loved Beckett, Faulkner, Céline, but also Plutarch and Basho. The last one I'm not sure, she told me she used to read Cioran for giggles as a teen.

My wife reads constantly, usually a "heavy" book alternating with a "light" one. A book on geology is as likely to be in front of her as an Edgar Rice Burroughs novel. I asked her what book she would pick if she had to pick a favourite, and she smiled and said "The Dictionary".

She will never enjoy nor understand philosophy. She's only reading it because she likes you, but considering you're inclined to try to dictate her interests the same way you'd train a dog, I take it she won't like you for very long.

It's just a bit of fun, anon. Something for us to do together. Have you not ever had a girlfriend before?

Bro, you have no idea what you're talking about. It's okay to train people, and to train yourself. People are more malleable and less independent than you seem to conceptualize.

No, i‘m not gay. Bribing people doesn‘t sound like a lot of fun. But go ahead, i‘m sure she‘ll love it since she‘s a bimbo. Why else would she date someone with your brain capacity?

That actually sounds like a fun way to share your interests, and you two will be able to discuss them as she reads. It is fun to share a book! :-)

Taking her out for a coffee to discuss over is not "bribing" in the way the word is usually used.

Thanks anon. We think it's fun as well :)
