My emotional support book.

Oh yeah, Americans don’t have good public transport. So they don’t understand that as a place to read.

Pre-portable reader days having a book was essential. It stopped for me somewhere in the late aughts but I was highly reliant on free newspapers for another decade.

Can’t relate, if I don’t take my book I’m going to be thinking"this sucks I could be reading"

I feel very called out and I’m never going to change anything about it!

Both I and my book feel personally attacked by this cartoon.

this is what motivated me to switch to pdfs/ebooks. i can now read any of my books on my phone/laptop whenever i want with no planning required. although i know it’s not for everyone, and i am missing out on building up a cool bookshelf.
