notZaar posted:Usually a book has to have been approved by at least six people from draft to paperback, whereas on as phone I can read what you wrote. well yes that would be a literal difference i was kinda more meaning like no one is gonna look twice if someones sitting at a bar reading they phone but somehow reading a book makes you an "antisocial gently caress"

Can't read Mishima anymore without laughing at the thought of his useless coup attempt and meaningless death. Also his description of breasts is perhaps the most awkward simile I've ever read so yes bring Sound of Waves to the bar with you.

Doing anything at a bar is usually fine as long as you're not an antisocial weirdo. Whole lot of opinions seeming to come from antisocial weirdos in here.... Reading at a bar is cool; I live in this semi-blue collar neighborhood that's slowly gentrifying so my local bar is filled with new people and people that have lived here for a few generations. Somehow this little book sharing circle got started a few years ago, and it's actually really nice. And it's awesome to have this young guy who works for the city doing maintenance bug the poo poo out of me to finish Confederacy of Dunces so he can read it for the second time since it's his copy that's been passed around. (Also basically everywhere with a few neighborhood bars has social circles like this; lol if you're too insufferable to get invited tho)

This thread kinda makes me wonder if some goons have only seen bars in movies or something, there are plenty of low key day drinking places that people read or even study at laid out like a coffee shop. There are certainly bars where you wouldn't do this and it'd be kind of weird at night but i can think of several places i went to frequently in grad school that had bookshelves you could borrow stuff from. One place in particular was pretty sweet cause they also had real good coffee and live smooth jazz for a solid atmosphere. Basically if you get carded at the door its prolly not the right time or place, otherwise go hogwild.

The degree to which that is weird depends on the bar.

the best part about going to the bar to read is that nobody assumes it is a cry for attention and everyone thinks its normal and cool

Ein cooler Typ posted:I just want to enjoy a nice novel with a few beers without having to engage in social interaction. i dont wanna shock you too bad but i think that's maybe the complete opposite of what you go to a bar to do, just maybe. did the supermarket reject your fake ID or something. just buy a six-pack.

Books are bad. Pro level is reading a newspaper while sitting at the end of the bar against the wall by yourself drinking 7 oz beers.

I did this when I was traveling alone in Ireland and actually met a lot of people this way. Ended up joining a stag party as the only girl and going to the greyhound races!

I had an engineering professor, an old Irish bastard, who would insist that engineering texts were best read at the pub with a pint. Living in California though, i just miss being able to smoke inside while you drink and read.
