Only my history teacher does that, as all my friends are bookies too and plus I'm kindof intimidating because I'm so intelligent. It's normal for me to be reading. When my history teacher asks, I hold up the book, give him a death stare, and nod to the "Is is good?" question.

."Its a bit hard to explain without reading it"(

I agree with that, though I sometimes do try to explane.
Its sometimes bugges me but not that may people would notice me so I could read in peace, mostly.

Everyone in my family does that! I hate having to summerize a book while I'm reading it.

Ivellias
ok I have a question, who here gets annoyed when someone asks you about the book your reading?

I cant stand it>.
For some reason people like to talk to me when Im eating luncha nd reading, and come up and ask what Im reading,etc.
I mean, I know its just being friendly, but I ahte people who say:
"Whatcha reading?, is it interesting?whats it about?"
Go and get it yourself! scream

Usually I pop a book open when a bunch of people are talking nearby about something I dont care about,so they try and drag me into the conversation.
Ex:
Sitting at my seat, yawnign a bit and reding until class. The guy next to me kinda nudges his friend and leans towards me.
"Yo, watcha reading?"

"A book..."I reply, not wanting to talk to this person cause this book is good>.
"what kinda book?"

"A fantasy"(leave me alone damnit!)

"whats it called?"
Lifting the book up and showing him the title.

"Oh, Cool, is it good?"(if Im reading it well....)

"yes"

"whats it about?"

Sigh.Set the book down."Its a bit hard to explain without reading it"(i.e., I dont want to talk,leave me alone, I want to finish, then ill tell you)

"Oh...ok"

He leaves.peace.hurah



Anyone have this as well?


I hate that too. They interrupt when I'm reading and start asking questions. I show them the cover and they're like what's it about? It pisses me off cause I know the ones who ask me are never going to even consider reading that book. And I hate when I'm eating or something with the family and my mom goes, could you put the book down? But I just keep reading so yeah. Still it bothers me. My family always does it.

but asking: whatcha doin? when clearly I'm reading I go "Eating." and they leave. still it's not as much the question as the interruption.

I just dont respond! they get the idea after a few weeks and learn to just leave you be when you have a book in your hands.

Well, if it's someone I really don't think would care too much I'll just show them the cover and/or tell them the title. But if it's someone I know likes reading or would be interested I'll at least try to explain it to them. Aad when it comes to the fact that people are disturbing my actual reading to ask, it doesn't bother me too much, because I don't think it happens to me too much. But what I really do deteste is, when you're alone somehere reading, then someone comes in and starts making some big conversation with you, about nothing of any importance.

It depends if I'm really excited about the book. Then I want to share it with people. But when I'm really into it or the book is hard to explain OR I'm asked what the book is about constantly, then I get annoyed.

If I'm really excited about the book, then I don't mind as much, because i'll want them to read it. otherwise i'm so temted to say get off ya lazy butt and read it if you're so freakin' curious!!...except my friends, because they're book freaks too and know better...
