From the list: Well rounded reading, not afraid to admit to King either. Probably an alright person, who can have a conversation and isn't judgemental.
From the emoticon: TWAT.

this strikes me as very hipsterish. i mean, books are about what you like to read, what resonates with you, not what people think of you for reading it...

That's somewhat accurate. I'm from Quebec. I have my ''strong'' mathematics from high school (which ends at 17) but never took any math class afterwards. Not as if you cared, but eh, well played.

> You haven't even read all the authors you named. Pretentious hipster. Otherwise you're very old and always read, but never compulesively.

I've read everything by Murakami available in languages I know, everything by Wallace except one essay collection, In Search of Lost Time, most of Auster, and everything Knausgård has ever written. I'm 18 years old, I don't own a cardigan, I don't read compulsively, and I do not identify myself as a hipster nor do others identify me as one in real life. Please try again because you make me sound impossible, and that kind of hurts.

I can't believe you can drop maths so early.

I'm extremely curious as to how you came to this conclusion.

I grew up in Prague, btw.

>>1551137
At what age did you read In Search of Lost Time? How long did it take you? Which was your favorite book? How much time do you spend reading in a day?

>>1551146

16-18. Read other things in between the volumes. Have no idea which my favourite was as I don't remember what was from which volume, and I probably average like 3-4 hours a day though I'm not sure. Today, for example, I haven't read anything. But that's extremely rare. I just have a looot of school projects coming up next week so I just sat there writing on those, and now I'm procrastinating before sleep.

Well they give you the choice. I want to live on my writing, I focussed on that.

>I'm extremely curious as to how you came to this conclusion.

I live and grew up in a big town myself. I think it somehow determines your personality. I just felt like someone who liked Truman Capote so much had to live in a big town. Nothing scientific here. Just a feeling.

And out of curiosity, how did you know for my maths?

N.B Sorry if I made language errors, English is my third language.

Yeah, I know some people live on their writing, but that's phenomenally unlikely, and you simply can't plan for it. Hell, the majority of authors have to supplement their income even when they're published. Sorry to tread on your flowers, bro.

>>1551215
I think I rarely, if ever, see another Pancake fan.

>>1551227

I'm pretty sure I have more chances on living on my writing if I do everything I can to do so (and I've always done) than if I tell myself ''well, that's pretty uncomon, lets leave that for others''.

Back in eighth grade there was this prick that I had four classes with he constantly harassed me and I just took it all in, eventually I started over-observing his behavior and him. I noted he wore foundation to cover even mild zits, acted as if he had an intellect while being genuinely stupid and was constantly checking out the teacher (she was like 50). One day he pushed me over the edge and with great derision I berated him on a variety of insecurities in front of everyone. He ended up going home and I got suspended for a week.

Other than that it's always fun just to dick with friends about shit I've picked out. Like one of my friends always wears socks, no matter what, so I told her she had freak feet and she got offended and asked how I knew. Nothing really exciting, but it gets me off I guess.

Probably a pretty smart guy, rather young - I'd guess 18 or 19 - interested in history, particularly European history and particularly European military history. Has that obsession with the classics and with Great Men that distinguishes a certain kind of well-read young man. In general, a solid guy, well-read, but within a somewhat limited scope. Probably has a goatee if not a beard.

>>1552927
Very close. I'm 23 and I keep my face smoooooooooth.

>>1552929
Huh.

Weirdly it was the philosophy that made me go that young, I guess I associate the French dudes with slightly younger readers (particularly Camus - not saying he's not relevant or valid, just the association I have). The beard thing, I think, was because I know a guy who has a beard who's into that stuff.

Back in the day, the Secret Police knocked on my father's door, back in the Old Country and when he answered, they asked

>Does the tailor Lebowski live here?

and my father said

>no

The Secret Policemen asked

>What is your name then?

He said

>Lebowski

They asked

>Are you a tailor?

He said

>Yes

And the Secret Policeman said

>So when I asked if the Tailor Lebowski lived here, why did you say 'no'?

And my father said

>You call this living?

did you once post a thread asking people to evaluate you because everyone had gotten to know the guy who posts pictures of the black guy with the afro who stares off into middle distance but then you deleted it because 4chan is 4chan. If so, yes we had moderatly good conversations
