Since this is an anonymous message board, I will confess that I read literary classics in public specifically to attract literate women, and, well, let's just say it works.
Do you read in public?
I read on the bus, because if I'm listening to music I get paranoid that I farted and don't know.
So there.
I don't think anyone reads in public to impress others with what they're reading. Though I don't hang out in college towns.
But so what if they are? Pay no attention to them. If you can't strike up a conversation and maybe get him/her into reading something you like, why bother with any of this.
Wouldn't knowing make it worse?
>I hate the proletariat
>>being in public except for buying groceries and fresh air
The thing is, I'm almost 100% sure I don't, but I can never know for sure.
bait.

>while reading

I would think as a supposed reader you'd respect that someone else is just using this otherwise wasted time on the bus to get some reading done. Maybe you only see it as showy because you're a pretentious cunt and you hate that you're giving them the recognition you want.
I sometimes read in parks or public transportation. I've also read in bars and cafes occasionally. I think I've landed around 3 dates reading in public, I should probably do it more
