    I hate when I’m reading a book, and someone talks to me so I put the book down and reply, then try to go back to the book and they just keep going on everytime I start reading again -_-

      So what is the book about?

      Interesting! Can you elaborate?

      Who’s the author?

    it not me

    If you see me reading a book in public you are absolutely invited to strike up a conversation and nerd out with me about it. I wish we had better mechanisms than body language to signal this!

      I was gonna say its perfectly fine for me in public. If I wanted uninterupted reading I would be at home or a library or something.

      Yeah for sure, nothing like discussing shared interests and new ideas with randoms. I’m shy as fuck but that’s such a pleasant, low stakes interaction.
