We got a reader!

Today, my new boyfriend came over to my apartment for the first time. Up until now I thought he was great, but when he spotted the book I'm currently reading next to my couch, he uttered the immortal question, "Why do you read?" FML

I don't think I would be able to be with someone who could utter that question in a serious manner.

I feel you OP. I love reading, to me they're better than movies because you feel like your right there and you can let your imagination run wild. It's a shame some people don't see reading the way we do.

He could be asking for what resin do you read? Like entertainment, to gain knowledge, ect... Or he's an idiot...

76, you have a good point. I'm surprised no one else thought of that.

Yeah.... no. Goodbye Humanity is saddening x(

Notice how the op omits the book title in the fml. Likely shades of grey or twilight

Not everyone enjoys the same things. I do enjoy reading, but its something I do alone for my own enjoyment so I couldn't care less if someone else reads or not. If someone has a hobby that absolutely doesn't interest me, I am curious what the draw is. So I ask and sometimes I get a new perspective.

He could've really been curious on why you actually read, is it a pastime? Is it to get your mind of things? Relieve stress?
