Is it weird to read a book in a bar?
I have a routine where every Friday I eat a late lunch with friends, go to the library from 3:30 to 6, and then go home. But I was thinking that I might try going to a nearby bar instead of just going home, to drink and read a little more. And who knows, maybe even talk to someone.
Do you ever read in public places? How does it go for you?
ps: im gay so it would be a gay bar, but i dont think thats really relevant
Only if you're reading Mishima and wearing a fundoshi. Boipussi will be literally throwing themselves at you
Anyone who reads in public when they have no real legitimate reason to be doing so is a fucking douche. And there's never really a good enough reason. They just want to be seen reading. And that's douchey.
Depends on the bar. Some are pubby places where there's hardly place or time to read and some are more relaxed.
If you're really adamant about this, try finding a quiet bar that's not busy and obviously don't sit at the fucking counter.
Also if you're gonna be going to a bar everyday you're gonna become an alcoholic.
Just go to the fucking library.

Well media paints gay bars as spots for gay men to get drunk, hook up and then go fuck each other in the toilet. If there's any truth to that, sounds like a fantastic reading environment.

I feel like it makes more sense to write at a bar than it does to read.
Saw a girl reading Hanya Yanagara at a bar once. Just looked unflatteringly pretentious.
My house doesn't have a bar, and supermarket alcohol is gross af. So if I want to drink while reading, its convenient.
Plus my library is right next to London's gay bar district, so its not at all out of my way.

It is a fantastic feeling
I enjoy spending a couple hours a day reading with a coffee looking out over the green and your autism won't ever change that
it reeks of superficiality to me
but like said, if youre good looking and not a sperg then by all means go for it but if youre trying to look like a 'kool' character in a movie chances are you'll look like a tit
I read during my daily commute, and sometimes in a coffe place. I mostly read at home but I like a change of scenery from time to time, dont be such an autist.
