You’re not really reading it, let’s be honest. And it’s tough to say what’s worse: if the woman who’s been glancing furtively over in your direction hasn’t read it either, or if she has.

It has been a long time since something on the internet has made me this sincerely angry.

I don't care about that, but I am much more so surprised about the fact that you can pay attention to something that requires as much attention as a book in an envoirenment that has so many distractions, not to mention, dangers. For example, I can't imagine myself ever not paying attention to my surroundings in the public transport since there are thiefs and what not just looking for unsuspecting people to rob. Of course, this could just be my Eastern European bias towards the people, perhaps there is less thievery going on in whatever country you are living.

Only time I read in public was in an inter-city bus that is mostly safe and silent for some reason.

What to Read

>The Great Gatsby
>A certain kind of woman will find it both hilarious and adorable that you didn’t finish it in tenth grade. And she’ll probably ask you if you think it’s a story about love or a story about money. (The correct answer is, it’s a story about money. But go with the flow.)
condescending, asserts superiority based on mastery of tenth-grade reading material

>Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia Child
>This tells women that you can both carry heavy books and cook. Same goes for an issue of Bon Appetit, and also a scrapbook with pictures of tacos you’ve made. If you’re a six, Julia Child makes you an eight. If you’re a ten, God help you. Cooking is your greatest carnal asset. Wield it with care.
gullible moron who can't discern the most disparate levels of competence yet has strong opinions on their attractiveness

>Play It As It Lays, Joan Didion
>You didn’t just pick up The Year of Magical Thinking like a poseur. You read that years ago, when you first “got into Joan,” and now you’re into the deeper cuts. She’ll ask you how you’re enjoying it; it’s one of her favorite books because she’s a confident, creative boss lady. You love this book. It is your favorite book.
qualifies or wants to qualify her enjoyment of things as indicative or an intrinsic result of her character - a "poseur"

>Love in the Time of Cholera, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
>Latin America: sexy. One man’s determined, lifelong pursuit of one woman: sexy. Magical realism: weird, but also sexy. And she’ll appreciate that you’re digging Marquez’s graceful, accepting portraits of love and lovers that aren’t quite perfect but worth it anyway.
fetishizes entire cultures; racist. fetishizes literary genres; stupid.

>Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn
>Everyone and their mother has read Gone Girl, and everyone and their mother will want to talk to you about it if you look approachable. She’ll feel disturbed by all the similarities she’s noticed between herself and Gone Girl’s leading lady, so make sure you explain that you love the book because you’re “fascinated by complicated women.” That phrase will take you far, young man.

What Not to Read

>Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace
>You’re not really reading it, let’s be honest. And it’s tough to say what’s worse: if the woman who’s been glancing furtively over in your direction hasn’t read it either, or if she has.
except if you're sitting on the subway reading it, you are reading it. and if you're not a person who judges other people for what they haven't read, and tolerates or even appreciates someone's interest in something they haven't read, that's a good thing.

>My Struggle, Karl Ove Knausgaard
>Nobody really knows what to think of Knausgaard’s books, and nobody can confidently criticize them because they’re so long. You’ll get a lot of “What do you think of that?” (You could, however, keep things vague with “I really respect what he’s doing”—and immediately segue into the fact that Knausgaard plays in a rock band called Lemen. Then: “Wanna go catch some live music?”)
lots of people know what to think of Knausgaard's book, and you know that. you're not an asshole, so when someone asks you questions about something you don't know much about, you're fine either saying that or expressing your thoughts as best you can without needing to be intellectually overbearing. you don't conflate familiarity with media and integrity or self-worth, and thus don't use superficial knowledge of entertainment to flee in terror from challenging material or subjects by forcing conversations into safe areas.

>The Bible
>Unless you’re looking to wife up immediately.
or stay away from basic people who can't see the value of reading a foundational work of human society

>The Fault in Our Stars, John Green
>You think you’ll be fine. You think, “Hey, I haven’t cried over a book since Harry Potter. They can’t get me!” You will be wrong. You will be weeping.

Sorry, but where do you believe your own thoughts come from? Even the language you think with has been osmotically handed down to you by your parents and all of those around you while growing up. Wittgenstein once said, as I know through reading him publicly, that thoughts, just as with crops, have a time for reaping and a time for sowing. Why not sow on a bus and reap in the shower? Anyway, the way you talk about superiority is silly: you can contemplate with a book in your hand as well as, if not better considering the book, you can without deliberate stimulation.

I agree.

>Wittgenstein once said, as I know through reading him publicly, that thoughts, just as with crops, have a time for reaping and a time for sowing. Why not sow on a bus and reap in the shower?
Because showering for hours is bad for you. The time people spend taking in information is tremendous, but nearly no one spends any time contemplating. Most people are bombarded with information the entire day.

>Anyway, the way you talk about superiority is silly: you can contemplate with a book in your hand as well as, if not better considering the book, you can without deliberate stimulation.
I disagree, it's a distraction. Idleness is underrated and people have far to little of it. It's the obsession with spending time 'productively' that turns people into dumb cunts.

I actually disagree with you much less than I originally thought. The reason is because I think we both hugely underestimated how much time we mutually spend idle. For instance, in boring classes, I sit and think; on the toilet, I sit and think, often for loonger than 20 minutes; driving, eating alone, whatever. So for me, reading time is allocated to travel time and nighttime, otherwise I simply try to put things together.

I'm in Chicago and I read on the train, constantly. I try to sit with my back to a corner, so that anyone approaching would catch my attention, but I've never had any problems with thieves. Partially, this is because I usually ride the train when it's either fairly well empty or filled with mid-afternoon or late night folk (which, in my area, is mostly half-asleep workaholics (rarely is there anyone sketchy looking) and, partially, this is because I highly doubt that anyone's going to steal a book from my hands (and I'd be alright with the notion of somebody risking imprisonment in order to get their hands on Russian literature).

>Same type of ignoramus that claims they can listen to music while reading at the same time and appreciate both mediums.

Not exactly. Music often requires a degree of active listening. I ride the train to the end of the line, so I can tune out the ambient sounds and focus on my book.

The "muh women" thing is not what struck me most in this article, but rather how, like every single article about books on the internet, it focuses on books written by (upper-middle class) New Yorkers in the past 50 years + American HS core.

Most of your non-fiction is poorly picked, particularly Serge Lang. It's a reference book for when you're writing down math at your desk and need a theorem you've forgotten, not something you read to expand your mathematical horizon on the bus.

You're assuming he wrote for the reader and not for himself.
Or maybe he thought highly of himself and considered his thoughts worthy of drowning out the reader's for a while.

Frankly, I don't agree with him. I'm always having my own thoughts about whatever work I'm reading while also taking in the experience of whatever I am reading. When someone is telling you a story in person, are you sitting there slackjawed while listening, or are you analyzing what's being said to you and responding to it throughout?

Philosophy is derived from the greek φιλοσοφια - Philosophia: A Love of knowledge.

Historically it included under it's umbrella all scholarly pursuits, including the hard sciences, but these fields have diverged away from being considered Philosophy by our nomenclature.

Presently under the purview of philosophy we study Political Science (How should we live?) Philosophy of Art (What is art, and what is aesthetic?) And Epistemology and Metaphysics (What is the world and what can we know about it for certain?), as well as sundry other fields like Theology (The study of Religion) and Linguistic philosophy (What is language, and do different linguistic bases affect how we think?).

Philosophy is essentially the study of the unobservable and the immaterial.

It's where we get ideas like right and wrong, and what they entail, and how we decide the "best" way to live, and what we mean by "best" in the first place.

You're forgetting the part about reading when the mind has run dry, which should happen every three days or so at least.

>>6982458
I don't see any reason to comment that article line by line excpet for anger and/or a huge sense of self-righteousness. Your answer seemed pretty out of proportion with the silly, lightheated and unconsequential article. Answering to what is basically a joke with "gullible moron who can't even tell..." seems pretty much like anger or self-righteous lecturing to me.

That goes in line with your comment about their "despicable mentality" as well. Sorry if I misinterpreted your motives, but yeah I was surprised.

>if you have an issue with what I said

Pretty much what I've said above, it's pretty emphatic for such an article. This thread doesn't deserve more than a short and simple explanation and a couple jokes.

>if your issue is that I said at all, I don't give a shit

You shouldn't have answered then, my point was as simple as it looked.

What's interesting about this, to me personally, is that there would definitely be a time when I would allow this list (even if it's mostly written as a joke) to get to me on some level. Now, to my own surprise, I'm getting pretty indifferent to shit like that, and I can never get myself to care that much I encounter them.

I can't tell if this is me growing up or just giving up.

the premise of the article isn't that it's a silly dumb character giving poor advice. the article doesn't have a premise, it has a basis: a thoughtless, mediocre perspective. the motivation for pointing that out is irrelevant. no amount of you trying to reason it out is actually going to get you the answer. at best you'll get the comfort of deciding and believing what amounts to "he mad". if that's what you need, decide that, believe that

I didn't make any comment about a "despicable mentality"

>implying I read to attract certain people to me
Nigga I read because I either want to learn more about something or to enjoy a book.
Damn, this article is as pretentious as it is low brow.
I'm not saying you can't/shouldn't enjoy some of those books, but if you're only reading/pretending to read to get someone to talk to you you're fucked.
I say this as someone who'd benefit from such things due to being a loner but fuck, just because you don't want to interact with people doesn't mean you act like a jackass to bypass that fact In order to get someone to talk to your lonely ass.

I just wouldn't come up to a stranger and start talking to him about his book unless it was something that I absolutely LOVED. Even then, I would probably just say 'that's a good read'. If he started a conversation from that, I would want to talk about the book, but if he doesn't know anything about what he's reading, I'll think he's stupid or trying too hard.

Guys! I figured it out!

The secret

Is to read any book on sex that the title involves something along the lines of 'Giving back to your lover; showing them you care...in all the right way; how to be amazing in bed; giving her a night she'll never forget; etc.'

Basically anything that makes it seem like you are

A:imroving yourself

or

B:Upping your game to please HER

Boom. Figured it out. No need to kiss my feet.
