There was no infographic and I was embarrassed because hemmingway is considered baby tier stuff How would electronic search help

I wasnt aware that random internet users were constantly watching you wherever you go to laugh at the fact you wanted to read a book.
Seriously, no one honestly looks down on someone reading hemmingway in real life.
Henry Barnes
Since when is he baby tier
Owen Scott
Not me who said hemmingway was baby tier.

Nobody in public gives a fuck about whether you are alive or dead, let alone your literary choices. Don't be so stupid while interacting in the real world.

>One day, she verbally abuses me all of a sudden... and it just doesn't stop there. Mmm, that's hot. Who needs boring ass "literature" when you have this?

Any literature with a girl being verbally abusive?

>Nobody in public gives a fuck about whether you are alive or dead, let alone your literary choices. Oh yes they do. OP let's pretend you understood the catalog and found the book in the stacks - you would still have to face final judgement: the librarian. Some libraries have semi-automated checkout stations but we all know that even if you had managed to interact with another human and get a library card earlier, you would end up accumulating fines because of poor memory combined with agoraphobia and machines despite being sources of unemotional love and consolation have no mercy. It would force you to approach a librarian again, and they would see EXACTLY what you had been reading, that you had checked out pic related repeatedly and in fact it was the only book you had ever checked out. Librarians proclaim discretion but everyone knows they are lying. Inoffensive clothes and hair and affect cannot disguise their tells, the same way strangers sneak glances at each other's book covers, covers that have long since turned into billboards. Just think about the pissing contest that is Veeky Forums for a second. Graduate seminars, literary criticism, fanfiction, tv/film/stage adaptations, cultural literacy. Reading is a very social activity.
