"What type of books do you read?"

[Anonymous No.11835292]

I don't really know what to answer when people ask me this. I read all sorts of shit (mostly /lit/-approved stuff): Greek tragedies, poetry, novels, non-fiction, etc.

I usually respond with "all sorts of stuff" but it's a really vague answer. What do you guys respond to this question?

I was reading Sun and Steel in a Starbucks (im not an npc) and a guy came up to me and asked what I was reading. At the time, i genuinely thought this dude was a reader so I said "I'm reading the musings of the Japanese poet Mishima and how he justifies the glory of sculpting your body in preparation of a beautiful death". He was like "oh, cool" then proceeded to small talk into a conversation about this amazing company he is recruiting for. Mfw i tried to redpill a normie multilevel marketing agent

So now i just default to "i read all sorts of stuff" too

I describe the last two or three books I've read to qualify the "all sorts" comment.
>I read a bit of everything, I've just finished a book by Ishiguro...

>The good kind

That's my answer to that question, or questions like it, (What kind of music/movies/etc). People just laugh and don't press you further

The NPC programming is evolving to take into consideration niche communities, as evidenced by this post (by an NPC)

If I ever interacted with the rabble I would just say I only read anti Semitic authors because it is largely true
