I do not read in public. The reason for this is that I do not want some villain to run up to me and take my book.

>> No.22379226

I read To Have And To Have Not in school. This cute girl in my class asked me about it so I just showed her one of the pages that had "nigger" written in it like 20 times. She got kinda weirded out so I had to tell her that I think Hemingway is a bit overrated and that I always preferred Steinbeck. Don't really know why I felt I had to tell her that but it was fine because she didn't know who neither of those were.

left: are you okay with a slightly older girlfriend. licensed and complete at 6 volumes. very vanilla, casual cute romance
middle: you like me not my daughter? 5 volumes have okayish ftl, just got licensed. probably more down to earth than the others but a bit frustrating, very indecisive femc.
right: ore no kanojo sensei (my teacher-girlfriend). ftl's for all 9 volumes. ecchi/harem type romance, really entertaining. strongheaded scheming femc.

So you're at least somewhat capable of sociability then. You're on /lit/, maybe consider joining a book club? Speaking as a former shut-in, it is nice to get to talk to people consistently without having to approach strangers
