Or even inherently think we are smarter; but I think it’d be extremely difficult (or even impossible) to garner the same knowledge on a specific topic without reading about it. Like reading a history book verses watching History Channel or playing Assassins Creed. I mean apart from going and getting a history degree (which would require a ton of reading anyway) You shouldn’t go around being an asshole about it, but that doesn’t mean there’s not some truth in it.

But, I mean, first of all is MY money that I earn by working and also if they don't like to see me with the same clothes all the time I think they should look other way! Hugs from Argentina🤗. PS. It also bothers me when they question my rereads.

My biggest pet peeve is when I show someone my book collection and their first question is “why do you have so many copies of the same book” and when I explain that the book is very meaningful to me and there are many beautiful editions they say, “well you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover!” a) I’m allowed to do what I want with my own money b) the entire point of a cover is to prompt you to pick up a book because it looks interesting. With the bookish community it is very easy to get recommendations for books that you might not pick up in a store because the cover is not as attractive as the others. Also, for each edition of a book, someone has put time and effort into making the cover and if I appreciate it, I like to show that appreciation by owning a copy that I can show to friends and family.

Your avoidance of the swear words in reading the comments cracked me up, and yeah where in the heck did these problems and comments come from?? 😂

When someone sees me reading a romance/contemporary book and they say "Oh, like Fifty Shades of Grey?" Yes because EVERY romance book out there is exactly like that 🙄🙄😂😂

People do that with LOTR too. Every fantasy, of course, has to originate from that one trilogy. Not imagination, life experience, experimentation, etc. It's just silly.

@@calmyourmind5665 yep!! It's so annoying. Lol

I love that you can't get through reading these without laughing 😂

13:49 Your response is....accurate lol😳

I absolutely hate people who say if you don’t like classic books, then you’re a dumb person.

The most annoying thing is 1) when people assume that bc im a girl I must enjoy strictly romance and domestic thrillers and make a big deal about it when they find out I primarily read fantasy. Also 2) when readers brag about reading 400 books in a year. Why does that matter?

Or when you're standing in the fantasy aisle at a bookstore and the guy who walks into it gives you an incredulous look like wtf are you doing here...

Back when I was in grade school I remember during social times when everyone else would be talking with friends & whatnot I would alot of times be sitting, reading quietly minding my own business & people would make it a point to interrupt me & ask "Why are you reading?" Like why would you be reading when you don't have to be or like how could that possibly be more interesting than this room full of teens shouting over each other 🤷🏽‍♀️ it always annoyed me.

I'm a librarian with an MLIS and one of my coworkers (also with an MLIS) said "Oh, you're still reading fiction? I got tired of that in grad school."

I need a gif of Elle's reaction after reading through the minecraft comment ( 6:45 ) LOL it was perfect

Definitely agree with book size flex though. I love flexing that

You upload so often you’re always in my sun box aha 🤣

Once I told a coworker that I was going to read The Hunger Games after watching the movies and he said, “I don’t read those kind of books, they are beneath me.” 🙄🙄🙄

I absolutely hate it when someone sees you reading and decides that it’s time to tell you their whole life story or ask you what the book is about knowing that they have absolutely no interest in what it’s about.

When I'm mourning the death of a character and someone tells me "It's not even real". That will aggravate me like nothing else.

I came across this same article not to long ago. I quickly read through it but I didn't see any of the comments on it.

for me the most annoying thing is when people ask "what do you do in your free time?" and i'm like "i like to read" and they're like "wow you're so smart!"... like? no??? it's literally the same as watching tv shows but you just read words ://

I hate when I'm in public, have a book open, obviously only a few pages into it, and someone asks, "Oh, what's that book about?" I usually say, "Don't know. Haven't read it yet."

We definitely flex about the books we read haha.

One day I was going to the library on a Friday afternoon and my co-woker joked saying I'm a sad looser.

I love how this video turned into a minecraft analysis midway lmao

I found funny how most responses seemed from a very rude elementary school bookworm thug perspective 🤣

"Bookworm Thugs" would be a great name for a band!

I HATED books some time ago. Not because of the books perse, but because some bookworms are so disgustingly snub that I REALLY didnt wanted to have anything to do with them xD

They had to have polled 5th graders. This is what I have seen/heard from 10/11 year olds 😂

This was just hilarious. Things I get annoyed at "why do you read so much" grr why do you care what I do with my free time. And "why don't you read (insert book in genre I don't care about)" very insistently
