How do you explain the book you're reading to a curious

>How do I explain Kororo without spoiling anything and not looking like a weirdo/weeaboo?!
1. you're not going to spoil anything because they're never going to read it, they hardly give a shit about the book itself, they're just asking because they're curious about why you're reading it.
2. just use general terms like "it's a japanese novel set in so-and-so where such-and-such happens". that's literally all you need to say. they'll ask you how you're liking it and you tell them whether it's bad, okay, or good. there

All of these are okay.
(I use a cover leaflet for books that are not.)

Fun antics and hijinks in ancient greek city states

Just read at home, you attention whoring bitches.

Fuck you too. I read at home, during my lunch break at work, on my way to/from work in public transport. Been carrying a book around with me as often as possible since first grade. It makes me less anxious (and back then it sometimes made bullies ignored me as I did not make any provocative eye contact while reading).

If it makes you feel less anxious, i can sympathize, however many faggots simply read in public so the rest of the world sees they are "cultured".
