MODERATORS
South. Eastern. Public. Transport authority.
But make sure you shake your head the whole time so people know you disagree with irrational numbers.
Surviving Life With Your Gigantic Penis by Chris Boden.
Yes, that's the title of an actual book.
Lolita while furrowing your brow and shaking your head so everyone knows you disagree with the protagonist's actions.
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.
Is the new thing making fun of people who read on the train? I do it all the time ☹️
John said "reading performatively" - so, unless you're doing that...
Thankfully the people in charge of deciding whether your actions are performative or not have great judgment
They do. It's basically trying to spot adults that are subscribed to adult add/autism content generators. They stick out
I’m curious to know what counts as performative reading haha
Reading feminist literature to pick up women. That sort of thing. I don't think it happens much. I've never looked at someone and thought they were doing it. I'm sure at least some people do it on occasion though.
Reminds me of Bill Hicks' bit 'What are you reading for?'
Bro was going strong until he tried to put down people who bring me waffles.
Those are some of the best kind of people, and, quite frankly?
Comedians shouldn't be throwing stones at anyone in terms of life achievements.

If you’re on a bus, read the novelization of Speed.
What's it called?
Speed.
/j
I don't actually know the name.
I think I heard somewhere it was called "the bus that couldn't slow down"
Is there a book about how Ayn Rand was a total piece of shit that helped ruin America?
Anything by Chuck Tingle
Did any of Chuck Tingle's books get physical releases?
Yes. I've seen this at a queer bookstore.
Print them out on computer paper and staple your own!
You can never go wrong with the classic, Turtleneck top, glases (not optional), sneakers, Ulysses.
There is a more modern way though, bring a travel chessboard and do random moves, then look at your phone type somethgin, wait, and then make another random move.
Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake.
Gotta start with Titus Groan! Just skip the forword that was added most recently though.
Beat the dealer, it shows you read and that you are smart in other ways
Catcher in the Rye, of course.
Make sure to scribble madly, illegibly, in the margins and the occassionally glare at your fellow passengers while making finger guns.
Can't believe no one's suggested Nietzsche (Zarathustra, etc). Maybe no longer in vogue now that sincerity is on the rise, though.
Autumn in Pekin by Boris Vian, which happily doesn't treat neither Pekin nor Autumn in any way.
