do you usually admit that you like to read when a co-worker asks

being insecure about your hobbies is a huge cock block

of course i tell them. were do you work that reading would be considered a cock block?

I live and work in northern ireland. Reading is grounds for ostracism.

I read on the way to work and I usually walk in and leave the book on my desk

someone said I was "showing off" because I was reading Myth of Sisyphus

A lot of girls either like to read or like the idea of reading. As long as you don't sperg out and say the books they like are plebshit or start wanking about how good Ulysses is, it's hardly a cock block. Worst case scenario, they'll think you're boring. Which most of us are.

Reading is the only one of my hobbies I'm comfortable with telling people I know about. Anime and video games are much more of a turn-off than reading.

"what do you do in your free time?"

just such a stupid question to ask someone. I'll never understand the rationale behind this silence-filling platitude. basically akin to "how do you identify yourself?"

This. Reading has got me so much pussy it's ridiculous.

>>8649361
no. i like to read but i'm still pretty dumb and i don't want to open myself up to having to engage in an intellectual conversation. i just tell people that i like to watch tv and movies and play video games.

>>8649825
Too obvious. Leave your bag open at the end of your desk with the book just barely sticking out, spine up, so they can still read it but have to crane their neck or stop while walking by.
