What will people think, if I read in the bus.
I'm hoping they don't care, but afraid they'll think of it as public masturbation for attention.
I'm going to take the bus a lot this summer, so would be great to know.

I'm mostly reading philosophy and biology btw.
And I only read my smallest books on the bus.

>Caring about the opinion of plebs.

If you're really such a faggot, just use an e-reader or use some DIY book cover to hide it

that tweet is retarded, why isn't this going viral? maybe because you just posted it? its obviously viral now with all those fucking retweets and likes, do you mean it should've been viral before you even took the picture and posted it? the present king of France is born

i would think, "that person is lucky. when i read on the bus, i feel nauseous"

racism of lowered expectations. a kid reading a book is a normal thing. the person who posted this thinks that because the kid is black, it deserves special attention.

Why the fuck would anyone care if you're reading on the bus? Are you that full of yourself?

anon I walk around my city in broad daylight reading while I walk, sometimes taking notes in the book, and sometimes its a math textbook. no one gives a fucking shit. You imagine people as scanning for examples of public masturbation for attention because you are projecting this behavior yourself.

How do you maintain focus while also not bumping into everything?

>> No.15715577

>>15715519
ive done it for a long time and walk regular paths around my town, but I have bumped into people, a fire hydrant, and some poles before. Depending on what I'm reading, I'll read a large chunk of it, and then close the book while still walking, and just sort of meditate on what I just read. The fresh air and movement helps me, though I wouldn't say in any definitive way. Its essentially just a habit that I keep up because I enjoy it every day.

>>15715239
You should enjoy distracting them with your exuberance then.
