As you're reaching into your bag...

as you're reaching into your bag, an attractive woman walks up to you to say hello (or man idgaf) what is the one book you would want to pull out at the moment to impress him/her?

my checkbook

The diary I kept on my dairy farm desu

"The autobiography of Malcom X" so then she'll think I'm a bluepilled progressist leftist cucked Nu-male who'll be the one in the kitchen while actually all I want is to see her get fucked by a BBC

My Twisted World because of the implication

The Stranger translated into Spanish

120 days of sodom

Either Ulysses, Infinite Jest, or Gravity's Rainbow. They're all pretty substantial books so I rotate them out in my bag.

On The Beach

Borges. Not too pleb, not too tryhard, just right.

not sure if troll, those books are for 16 year olds

"Soundproofing your Basement" by Charles Ng

>Ulysses
>For 16 year olds

here's your (You)

Nice troll, the stranger was originally written in spanish(el extraño), then got translated to english...

Isn't that rather the point?

No, it was original written by Albert Kämstein in German (Der Fremde), then got translated into English...

>or man idgaf

I remember I was reading the Waves before an exam and this cute Asian boy wondered why I wasn't doing any last minute studying. He gently mocked me for "Just sitting there, reading Woolf."

tfw no soft spoken bf

Based on the original novel Ihôjin by Kamu Arebô

I think you'll find it was 陌生人 by 喀穆

An old Bionicle novel from around 2004

If she isn't a nostalgiafag, we just aren't gonna get on y'know?

My laminated copy of スーパーふたなりおばあちゃん

...

A first edition of the Malleus Maleficarum.

Les Fleurs du mal

Implying girls, or gay guys, in general, get impressed by what someone is reading. It's all about the hair/style/fitness.

this. If I could meet someone impressed by what I was reading I would cream my pants. The most I've ever gotten was "oh user that book is so big! how do you read it all?" The book was only like 500 pages long...

Actually first published as Ο Ξένος by Alcibiades Kamos.

In search of lost time...multiple tomes, and I greet her with a simple "bonjour"

Actually, pretentiousness aside, that's a good book.

It's okay, I'm still bitter about the getting cucked out of the new dinosaur toys in preschool and never getting a chance to play with them. Some of my teachers and even friends seriously thought I had autism and I've never been good at fitting in either. One moderately fun thing to do is to pitch in for a christmas toy drive, some of the new lego sets are amazing, they never had anything half as good when I was growing up.

I carried around Gravity's Rainbow everywhere for like two months (read it, and re-read some parts) and no qt ever talked to me.
It's an accepted rule that if you want to hook a girl and start a conversation you would do better with Bukowski, since she probably read something by him and can feel smart and actually talk about it with certain reference
