Are you a bookworm, Veeky Forums?

leave me alone

This is what she's reading btw

No, I'm just a worm.

That only bothers me with my rare books. There's no reason to be overprotective of a $5-15 softcover.

Now, the big question, has there actually been a movie?

I personally find it very difficult to read while angry or depressed. Also, I don't imagine you'd have much time to read if you're taking hallucinogenics.

Well there it is : you aren't a bookworm, you're a pseud.

no. get out.

Wow that is SO me!

My biggest problem with this picture is that her "too-read" stack is labeled as being books 1-7 of a series, presumbly she must be reading the 8th book, as the spine has the same title, so either she hasn't read the previous books in the series, or she just leaves a bullshit stack of already read books around to make it look like she's a booknerd. Either way I would fuck her.

Are you a doctor?

How do dates at book stores or libraries even work?

Bookstores have coffee shops. Not really a full date, but "Let's grab some coffee" works I guess

Libraries almost never have that, but I know at least one that does within driving distance--too far to ask someone out to, though.

I am an expert at doing things one handed

>books on top of a chair

Post more lit cringe so I can feel better about my worthless life

You don't NEED to be a careless slob to be a "real bookworm". I read all the time, but handle my books delicately and have a neat, presentable bookshelf. In fact, my whole apartment is very clean and orderly. The two traits are not incompatible.

Are you a wiggly worm?

A wiggly wriggly writhing wormy worm?

Good post

I've never actually figured out what people are talking about when they go on about book spines and proper handling.
I hold books in every which way and they never seem to break or tear apart.

I watch much more anime than I read. I think the concept of the bookworm is ridiculous posturing. The average bookworm just reads bad genre fiction and think being able to speed through that is somehow meritable.

I even write more than I read.

it's never been real dates but whenever i hang out with female friends from back home we get lunch and hang out at the used book store
it's got a great combination of good books to actually read and good books to make fun of the titles/covers of

Coffee is the purest of all ideology. It's replaced cigarettes

No you see, now you've fallen into the cuck trap

i don't like reading off a screen

It's the creasing which can be a worry.

Although I oftentimes read in the bathtub for hours so I don't do my books much good by getting the occasional waterspot on a page or two.

>occasional waterspot on a page

It's the worst that can happen to any printed medium, it gets all puffy and shit

It's awful because I've been putting like 15 minutes a day into just making one batch, every day for about a decade, and have my own methodology and everything. Then these kids come out and call themselves experts for paying ridiculous prices for weak chain coffee.
And flavorings, since they think coffee is bitter

Literally no one cares you slut

I'm not a woman you batsard

No. I sort of used to be, when I was in high school, but then I started partying and working and that part of my life/brain just kind of withered. I got an impulse a few hours ago to start reading again and just spent $150 on books.

Sure
>$4 bottles of wine
More than that, cheapest I'll go is $10 and that's for casual cooking
>cheap cigarettes
Nope
>unwashed dirty hair
I don't wash my hair often because I've adopted alternative ways to clean myself (other than showering). I use a pomade though, so I like to wash that out before bed. Keeps my hair clean.

Wife keeps it clean

To all three of these: I am generally extremely positive.
>thinking about buying Jerusalem or bottoms dream knowing he wont get to them for at least 2 years
I don't read meme literature.
>is actually severely depressed but makes jokes about it so people think hes only ironically fucked in the head
No, depression is an illusion
>drinks absinthe and uses acid and shrooms occasionally, thinks he will learn something great from it but never really does.
Hell no, furthest I'd go would be a weak opium tea.
>attempted to write a book but never got past the first few pages, as he would decide its not good enough and trash it.
I have two books complete so far.

You write like a woman, batsard

What did he to do you?

dont ever talk to me again

He's just your average spineless "everything is as it should be, go back to work" conservative.

If the average spineless "everything is as it should be, go back to work" conservative is Thomas Sowell, than they must be doing something right.

You forgot the bonus that he gets to be used as a sock puppet to espouse the cliched drivel about black culture that whites would be called racist for

So I'm a lit grad student but not a bookworm, somehow.

This is how you should do coffee. Drinking anything other than black shitty coffee that takes two minutes to make is for girls/fags.

you gotta admit that's comedy
>>drinks absinthe and uses acid and shrooms occasionally, thinks he will learn something great from it but never really does.
not for the taste or to play cards? y'all really doing death wrong
>>attempted to write a book but never got past the first few pages, as he would decide its not good enough and trash it.
nah, though i do like flash fiction. mostly i write poems just to let the muse sing through me now and then. like playing cards.

Why.

There's a great deal of effort put into growing, maintaining, harvesting, preparing, and roasting. The least one can do to respect those labors is to do the best with the product as one can.

Dude. Tumblr, Lmao

i want to die

Underrated post

>I've adopted alternative ways to clean myself (other than showering)

What's goin on in here?
Anybody wanna trade rare Cliffs?

I have a sauna installed, I steam the crud out of my skin. My wife and I started this just to see how it worked, and would help with the process with soapless rags. Hair is a bit harder to wash but the production of oils can be minimized through maintenance., so it can be washed less and less often. It's also much more comfortable and intimate.

I'm sure a lot more people in the West would do it this way again if it were practical. I'm not practical so it fits.

This is my favorite kind of post.

I'm laughing for real right now.

No. I'm just a faggot.

Holy... I want more...

Wait, what is the proper way to read then?

Only if you don't drink decaffeinated coffee without cream and then it turns out there wasn't even any coffee ;^)

That hurt

You're telling me you don't rinse off after taking a sauna?

>le book is always better meme
The only people who say this are people who don't read.

>buying books

Are readers going to become the new gamers? As in a completely taken niche used for marketing and consumerism by the bourgeois in suits?

You have triggered me.

Fuck you.

The only people who say it are people who read plebshit, because within that context it is overwhelmingly true. Plebshit books breed extremely plebshit movies. Ex. Eragon, Harry Potter.

Probably Chinese, Indian, Persian, Japanese, Korean works.

>>Massive stack of western canonical works you dont have time to read that glare at you as you finish them one by one.
Yeah
>>$4 bottles of wine
I don't drink
>>cheap cigarettes
I don't smoke
>>unwashed dirty hair
Occasionally, when I don't go out for days on end, but never for more than a week.
>>room looks like Beethoven's outhouse
No, my apartment is pretty neet
>>expert at talking about books hes never read
I really, really, really try to avoid this, because I feel so embarrassed after I mention some obscure book I've never read, like it really hits hard after I do something that stupid and pretentious
>>virgin
yep
>>bitter and angry at the world
100%
>>hates everything
I don't hate my adorable hatsune miku and kasane teto nendoroid plushy dolls, or coffee, or hieronymous bosch, or music, or my family, or reading, but I do hate a lot of things
>>no hope for a better future
Yeah, I'd rather not work another day in my life, but at the moment I don't even know how to get out of being a neat, so I don't even have the luxury of wishing I never had to work again
>>thinking about buying Jerusalem or bottoms dream knowing he wont get to them for at least 2 years
Jerusalem sounds vaguely intriguing, but bottoms dream looks like a dumb, overly obtuse way to waste money.
>>is actually severely depressed but makes jokes about it so people think hes only ironically fucked in the head
I'm not like, severely depressed, but I am plagued by a lot of anxiety, and I seem to relive every embarrassing moment I've ever had at full strength, every day, because my consciousness never lets me forget them.
>>drinks absinthe and uses acid and shrooms occasionally, thinks he will learn something great from it but never really does.
I don't do drugs.
>>attempted to write a book but never got past the first few pages, as he would decide its not good enough and trash it.
I write a lot of short blog posts where I just try to go in depth into my thoughts as possible, but I'd like to feel that I have a firm grasp of what I admire in a book, before I go and just write something without having a good knowledge of other books that are out there.

Name 5 books with better film adaptations.

Not them, but I would say Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, Blind Beast, Heart of a Dog, Sansho the Baliff and The Cremator.

...

Pretty accurate for me pham

Fear and Loathing. Fight Club. The Right Stuff. A Clockwork Orange. American Psycho.
