Time to get pretenious. What are we reading and drinking Tonight?

You're drinking a fucking $10 bottle of wine in your atomized sleep-cublicle in front of the cum-stained monitor you watch hours of television and browse discussion boards with daily, reading a book you visibly haven't opened, and feel you should post this on Veeky Forums to signal cultural capital.

The Count of Monte Christo is a shit, plot-centric demonstration of the worst trends of 19th century novel writing. It's the literary equivalent of A Cecil B. DeMille film. Taken to by pseuds because it's old, despite being popular dreck even at time of its release.

I'm reading Nazi Literature in the Americas and drinking cheap whiskey because I'm an alcoholic who has compulsively read ~5 hours a day since I was 9. Stop appropriating my culture you STEM fucking prole

Are these threads for real or is it just some kind of meme? I really can't believe these are real folk.

Currently reading The Iliad while drinking some beer and listening to The Smiths

Sody and Chekhov, but i'm really just watching Yes, Minister, so i can adopt the accent. it's a great show. sure do love it. 3rd time i've seen it. gonna try watching porridge next, but i doubt it'll be as good. i'll have to rely on fawlty towers or some shit to feed me. Chekhov is interesting enough, but i feel like i'm a hose with something lodged in it, i need a writing orgasm, i'm stifling under the pressure, i need to push this brain baby out of my gooch and reveal my sub-par mind to all who i can expose the hideous waif to.

the sody is dr. pepper mixed with pepsi and lime syrup.

There is nothing inherently wrong with a 10 dollar bottle. While the best wine Ive had was Chateau Margaux, I enjoy 10 dollar bottles frequently.

wtf is so 'unreal' about them? Reading a book and drinking some form of alcohol. How is this anything ground shattering?

do people actually play fucking video games here? Are you children?

wew fucking lad

oh please.

Please jump off your nearest cliff at your earliest convenience. Reading this.

The reading and drinking part doesn't surprise me, it's the part where you try to boast about it in a vietnamese knitting forum. Who are these people trying to impress? It just strikes me as an extremely vain thing to do, it's like most of them never really bothered incorporating in their lives any of the philosophy they so vehemently discuss. They might be different people though.

Most people on Veeky Forums play vidya, bro. It's fun. You should try it one day. Or you a casual, bro? You a fucking casual?

hard samefagging in this thread

Just imagine this complete faggot sipping his wine as he pauses to "muse" over the page he's just read, page 1 that is, because that book has clearly never been opened, and it never will be after tonight's little attention-seeking post. This is no doubt a man who thought Monte Cristo was cool because there is a prison, hence he thought he would be able fulfill his childish escapist and good guy tring to get out of a bad situation desires by reading it + the wine could only make it more real amirite... also the basic as fuck Penguin edition just goes to confirm everything I've just said.
You won't be able to get past the fifth page my good man, so put it away, get rid of that wine and go back to Dungeons & Dragons or whatever you basic as fuck people do.

why are you so upset over this person's literary decisions? your ass is so chapped that you could grate cheese with it, son.
i read Monte Cristo. shit was good. yeah, it's a simple romp of revenge, drama, romance, adventure, but it easily usurps a vast number of utter goatshit books written by faggots such as yourself. if you could ever bring yourself to write anything besides mincing posts like this where you bash people with some sense of superiority, as if your bland hobby is somehow indicative of some triumph over the spirit of humanity or some equivalent drivel you would come up with in defense of your mild life choices.

honestly, i should have brought that to a conclusion, but i lost interest in shitting on a shitter. back to yes, minister.

>bottled water
You fucking scumbag.

>so i can adopt the accent
Do you live in England? I have an Australian friend who's affected an English accent despite never having actually visited the place, and it's the most insufferably pretentious thing I've ever heard.

nope, i'm an american, and it's not for speaking, but for writing.

Oh well I guess that's excusable. I tried the same but with P.G. Wodehouse's Psmith novels, though I gave up in the end -- a prose style like his is just inimitable.

fucking NICE

can't find myself entertained by wodehouse. i like saki alright though.

Smoking weed and reading White Noise

This has been sitting on my kindle for months, should I start it?

Trying to get into "Pride and Prejudice" we'll see what happens. Drinking... tap water
>flouride, chlorine and lead FTW

Just downed a vodka and tonic, thumbing anxiously through pessoa's book of disquiet.

Just finished off a $15 bottle of wine. I'm not reading anything. I know I have a Larkin's collected poems in my mailbox, but I don't have a key, so I can't get it.

Well, you certainly nailed down the pretentious part. I give you that.

Pepsi and second edition of Norton Introduction to Literature (1977).

I was lying in bed reading Dhalgren (it's pretty good so far, definitely better than Babel 17) and a food description made me hungry, so I got up to reheat some leftover blueberry pancakes and decided I might as well fry some eggs as well. Went with 4 over easy. Drank a can of LaCroix while I was cooking. Inadvertently ruptured two of the yolks in the pan. Dipped the pancakes in the mixture of runny yolk and maple syrup puddled on my paper plate. Right now I'm about to have an 8 ounce cup of coffee. It's 4:30 AM.

kek

Tap water in a tall glass.

Poetry, at random, and in mass.

Food description in Dhalgren? Was it the bread without salt? That's the only food I remember in the novel.

Beer. It's not 12 yet.
I'm reading Finding a Form by the Gassmaster. He is a genius, but nuts in a scary way too.

Good post, lad.

Right now I am eating lunch but I spent last night drinking cheap Fischer beer and reading Ulysses sitting next to the Seine. It was pretty great. Hopefully tonight I will do the same exact thing.

the most recent edition of the paris review, a bottle of Chilean pinot noir + 5mg diazepam

>Honey Bush Tea

Red wine actually raises testosterone, so it's definitely a manly drink, unlike beer.

My dude Larkin is great when you're drunk just use a crow bar on your parents mail box.

game over, this guy wins

just finished a pint of bourbon by myself
