Right there.

Typically, my go to is to interject into conversations typically saying "huh, I was reading about this just recently." Since your average person doesn't read much, I simply make up a title, or cite a lengthy book I know nobody will ever read, then I bullshit about I learned from said book.

don't you should hide it there is never any benefit to it - if you're intelligent it comes across without needing to mention or give the impression you read books, if you're stupid people will eventually see through you; If you try to hard to make it known you read people will laugh at you behind your back and view you as a pseud. You should always hide the fact you read when others talk about books let them they'll either out themselves as a fucking moron or give you something worthwhile all of this happens regardless of if you give your opinions.

the socially acceptable way in my experience:
you are talking to someone, maybe theyre new, or maybe theyre someone you havnt communicated with in a long time and need to catch up. youre on a date, youre at a social gathering, whatever. if they dont ask you about your interests, you ask them about their interests. when your interests come up you casually mention your interests and include that you love reading among those interests, perhaps as the last installment of your list, leaving it more likely to be picked as a further topic for conversation. chances are they ask you what you like to read, or what your favorites are and you go from there if they ask you specifically what your favorite book is and you want to talk about more than one book you say you have a hard time deciding and shoot off a few of your favorites, at which point they may hopefully ask you what you like about them, what theyre about etc. Mission accomplished

Actually I should add one more important detail: that it may not need specifically be a question of "what are your interests" directly, it can be "what have you been up to", if youve actually been doing stuff and arent a neet loser you list off whatever it is youve been doing then add " doing some reading" to that list at the end, if you are a neet loser or someone who doesnt do much you say something along the lines " not much, mostly just binging some tv, movies, and doing a lot of reading" something along those lines, you get the point

Pro tip: don’t

You could have some big ass bookshelves but you sound like a dork so people probably don't come to your house. Alternatively, try actually learning from what you read and applying it in your daily life by being an intelligent person without the need for bragging. If someone asks you "what are you up to?" or "read any good books lately?" that's fine. Just don't be like "Ha man this is exactly like the time in [Book X] when [Event Y] happened because we've all totally read that, right guys??" because then people will think you're a retard which is the opposite effect you want.
