I'm glad you feel like you're better than him.

Because it's true, you ARE so much better than him user!

Wtf? He gave you an honest reply and admitted that he can't keep up very well in books and you have to shit on him online? He probably tries his best.

I am

>tfw I'm a former athlete with a car obsession, maintained my athletic physique, and know more than a thing or two about birds because I used to read natural science books

You only started reading the classics because you thought it would make you a superior person, probably to try and mask some glaring deficiencies in yout character. People who already have stable lives arent going to slog through that shit

This. Kind of makes you the pleb in this scenario, doesn't it?

>>tell him the last book I read was Moby Dick
woah dude you sound like a real intellectual.

i wonder why the people at your workplace don't read the classics though.

Literally a completely normal person with a non-ignorant explanation of why he doesn't read literature and you judged him.

Haha. Get a load of this pseud.
Sorry your coworker has to put up with you

Sublime bait OP.

so you didn't leave with her number?

anyone totally just not understand people having a hard time reading? it's like not knowing how to swim or ride a bike

shut up faggot

>lying on the internet

>making fun of someone because they don't read classics
>having just read a classic patrician readers have read years ago

You know big brand shops sometimes dictate what the staff picks can be, right? A friend of mine worked at Barnes and Noble and she could only put recommendations up from a select list of books, most of ehich is pleb shit.

is reading really a "hobby"? to me hobby implies some form of creation or physical exertion. examples: playing an instrument, lifting weights, writing a novel.

reading, watching tv, and playing video games are all just forms of relaxation (semi-passive consumption). i think it's useful to differentiate them from "hobbies."

good anime

I don't know how to swim or ride a bike, asshole.

Reading is lifting for the brain.

True patricians spread the word about literature by recommending plebs some entry-level stuff. Although this is going to be hard for someone who only recently read Moby Dick.
