I hate when I'm reading a book, and someone talks to me so I put the book down and reply, then try to go back to the book and they just keep going on everytime I start reading again -_-
If you see me reading a book in public you are absolutely invited to strike up a conversation and nerd out with me about it. I wish we had better mechanisms than body language to signal this!
Yeah for sure, nothing like discussing shared interests and new ideas with randoms. I'm shy as fuck but that's such a pleasant, low stakes interaction.
