Join a book club
hang out in book stores
join a lit class in you're in school
read books in public hoping people will strike up a conversation with you

although even people who do read are huge plebs so this doesn't guarantee that you'll have patrician friends or anything.

I've met a lot of people, and literary elitists are rare to come by.
I've found that a lot of girls read, but usually their interests in literature revolve around topics that confirm their beliefs or cater to their emotional well being.
The guys I know that read are either into shit tier fiction or very spesific topics of politics or history.

The few people I know that are /lit/, are so mentally unstable and ambivalent I wouldn't know where to start with them. One of whom committed suicide last year. She was always going on about how she wanted to change the world, but I guess she couldn't deal with reality any more.

The other people I know that are more well read then myself struggle with depression, anxiety, and insomnia, all of which I've overcome myself. I guess a coctail of intelligence and mental issues bring out a need in people to read. It seems we're looking for an answer, but have no idea what the question is.

Every other English major at my uni either a) didn't read for leisure and only wanted to tweet John Green quotes or b) only read GoT or Tolkien stuff and talked incessantly about Harry Potter.

Anyone with google can get that allusion.
