I believe in books. I believe books are good for you. They make you smarter. Science has a lot to say about books. The general consensus is that books make you smarter. In conclusion, I am going to read a book instead of being with you all tonight. P.S, please do not "flame" me. I am very sensitive to criticism. So please, resist the temptation.

Also for those of you thinking that I am being pompous by saying I am going to read a book let me assure you that I am going to be reading a trashy, popular novel about a Danish cartoonist.

archerb posted:I don't know how to read you ableist gently caress Let me explain something: books are accessories, you can stare at them and people will think you can read. You do not actually have to know how to read. Go to starbucks, and "read" a book. Someone is sure to take notice and offer to pos yr neg hole. Worked for me.

I urge you to read thru the thread and see all the names ppl have been calling me despite my disclaimer in the op. Strange *fans self* my disclaimers never seem to work.
