"Oh look at this guy reading a BOOK at the cafe, he must think he's sooooo cool! I get he thinks a woman will sleep with him cuz he's so smart and cultured."

Or maybe my roommate is having their partner over and they kicked me out and I'd rather do this than just be on my fucking phone for two hours?

It's so uncommon nowadays to find someone reading in public (since public libraries here barely exist) that wheenever I see someone I go: 'WOAH' even if it's like.. Dr. Faust or something so I never got the whole reading in public makes you cool or whatever, I just think more people should be doing so and it's amusing to see a rare one.
