I have only one friend to talk about books with. In fact I really have only one friend at all. Good thing is that she is a girl and sometimes we get to fugg :DD. She is as well read as I am and we love talking about literature and philosophy and we send each other books all the time. The only problem with her is that she thinks freud is a hack.

in other words every protagonist is inherently a self-insert, which makes it an escapist experience rather than an edifying or instructive one. i guess i can see how a fan of genre fiction would see video games as an upgrade

I do have a friend who I can discuss books with, but we have different tastes. My other friends prefer anime and manga. It's alright, but the set-up usually ends in either of us trying to push another book on the other.
