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.

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

If you mean reading performatively ALOUD on public transportation, there's only one choice: The Bible, King James Version.

[–] ashenone@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

While I agree I prefer the Ving Rhames version

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

just realized I was actually in possession of the LeAnn Rimes version, unbeknownst to me

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Just to be clear, I meant the Bible X Lebron James edition.

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

For sure!

saw they caught Bronny with the King Von edition on ESPN in a wild turn of events

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...

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

A nearly monotone, apathetic reading of The Stranger or The Plague.

Can't go wrong with Hobbit and LOTR!

It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Do you like my hat?

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
