I’m really mad too Carley. Why are there “hot guys reading” accounts but my wife never takes photos of me reading and submits them to IG?

[@uncarley]

make her!! the world needs it

[@BookTimeWithRyan]

I’m tempted to learn braille so the caption in my photo could be “he reads with his fingers, what else can he do with them?” I’m also tempted to pose for a very unattractive photo (taken by my wife) so she can submit it to that IG.

I can't get over how literally none of them seem to be reading for pleasure. It's an account about men reading and these guys are either asleep, studying, or just near books. The bar was low and it didn't even meet it!

[@clara4887]

I will never feel more evil than when this guy I used to talk to mentioned the page and said “honestly I am freaked out by this. I feel anxious to do anything in public”, which I agree with by the way, but I was too distracted to pay attention and no longer interested enough to force my focus on him, so I said while looking through ice cream options: “Don’t worry about it. You are safe from that.” Understandably, that was our last date.

[@julieannelovesbooks]

I’ve been a commuter student for the past three years now so (not thanks to covid) I’ve learned how to read on the train, bus, subway, either forward facing or backwards facing. Doesn’t even matter anymore. My guts are made of steel. But don’t even try to get me to read in the car when my dad is driving. I can’t even sit in the back without getting motion sick, let alone sit backwards and enjoy a novel.

[@uncarley]

im jealous!

[@julieannelovesbooks]

@@uncarley girlboss you just have to commit to it. Try and read just a page at a time. And then give yourself enough time to look outside and get oriented with the movement again. At some point you can read two pages at a time, three and then a whole chapter. Then you’ll become unstoppable.

Carley needs a podcast where she just goes on rants because I could listen to this all day.

[@jennac.3173]

This is a thing that's bothering me for years now. When has it become okay to take photos of random people and post them online without their consent? Or worse... videos. I don't get it. Have people no sense for privacy? Just because I'm walking outside, doesn't mean you are allowed to take pictures of me.

[@JulEnglefaris]

I mean literally no men I've ever met in my entire state reads. If I saw a man with a book I would probably think I was asleep. Yeah tho, you shouldn't take nonconsensual photos of people, or post creepy captions.

[@uncarley]

hahaha

[@sarahnaz1544]

I only remember this one guy in 9th grade who read and I used to sometimes have silent fights with him over checking out certain books from the school library cuz we somehow had similar taste
