i don't read grandpa i only play the games

i tried to explain to my wife the process of choosing a book to read. i told her that she should look for topics that she likes. she had trouble thinking of any on the spot, so she asked me for a couple of examples. i thought, and realized after about two seconds that there was absolutely no rhyme or reason to how i chose books personally. i couldn't even tell her themes i liked. i just muttered something about insanity and muh russians. we settled on adventure after a little more discussion and i helped her find some stuff.

My mum barged into my room last night while I was reading Cioran and snatched it out of my hand because I was trying to hide it. She's thinks I'm depressed now and she's forcing me to get counselling.

You should have just said isolation and pain and gauged what you could have out of her reaction to foster a deeper human understanding

we both had a chuckle at this. i'm sure if i played sunny day real estate and gazed deeply into her eyes, our souls would unite in the gaps betwixt atoms. you fag.

Trilogy, Metamorphoses, The Illiad, and Beowulf.

The Wasteland if you think of it as long.

I can't believe someone deigns to show 4chan posts to their wife! Being a fag however I don't think I'll ever afford to do so myself. Still though, if Russians and economics in conjunction can't bridge together the space that exists between people then I would recommend as a last ditch effort Thoreau and Bauldelaire
