How about an oversized Dr Seuss book?
Props if it is:
- I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew
- Yertle the Turtle
- The Sneetches
No go hard mode, “Fox in socks” you have a total of 2 minutes.
Real talk, H.G. Wells was a fantastic author and his biggest hits are both immediately recognizable enough to be a performative conversation starter while also having the added bonus/hazard of potentially accidentally getting into it.
War of the Worlds, The Time Machine and The Invisible Man are all ones I’ve recently listened via Librivox (I linked the specific readers I listened to) during my commutes, but of course, my goal is to actually enjoy the books
I really love journey to the centre of the earth.
Can reccomend the the epic of Gilgamesh, just be sure you don’t actually enjoy reading it, or else you’d just be reading on the bus…
A Critique of Pure Reason
I won’t accept this anti pigeon rhetoric.
If you mean reading performatively ALOUD on public transportation, there’s only one choice: The Bible, King James Version.
While I agree I prefer the Ving Rhames version
just realized I was actually in possession of the LeAnn Rimes version, unbeknownst to me
Just to be clear, I meant the Bible X Lebron James edition.
For sure!
saw they caught Bronny with the King Von edition on ESPN in a wild turn of events
Is there another King James with mentioning?
BlueeeeeeeeeeEEeEeeEEeEeEeee
Oh so lonesome for you
Why can’t you be blue over me?
Do they have The Meats™?
Read In A Condescending Voice By a 14 Year Old Atheist.
And once you’ve finished:
Rev. Owen Thomas
He should know. He already read a different book about a guy who was hung like this:
Why Civil Resistance Works by Eric Chenoweth & Maria Stephan
Is the answer the implied threat of uncivil resistance?
A nearly monotone, apathetic reading of The Stranger or The Plague.
Based off of the try-hard linkedin douches I know I’d say:
- The Art of War
- Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
- The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
- Rich-dad poor-dad
- The Art of the Deal
If this is the approach, Infinite Jest and War and Peace are solid options. Maybe Oversized Penises for Dummies.
Fuck great call. I thought having two “war” novels might make the joke worse but Infinite Jest is peak big brain public masturbation reading material
Lol, I literally got called out for reading Infinite Jest on a bus. Wasn’t a flex, the bus was just my primary reading time on weekdays and it was on my ‘to finish’ list.
Agreed that I probably looked like a jackass.
Habits of Highly Successful People
House of Leaves. That way if anyone notices you’re holding it upside down they’ll just think you’re really into it. And if anyone asks you what it’s about you can say “I have no fucking clue what’s happening, there’s a house I think?” and you’ll be correct.
Um. I think it’s pretty easy to understand, but it’s all a meta-narrative with an unreliable narrator.
The narrative devices are quite ingenious.
I love the book, just gently poking fun.
I watched a video essay on MyHouse.wad. I’ve never played Doom or read House of Leaves. Now I don’t need to do either.
Go Dog, Go!
Do you like my hat?
Did any of Chuck Tingle’s books get physical releases?
Print them out on computer paper and staple your own!
Yes. I’ve seen this at a queer bookstore.
