Yeah, anything along the lines of "books are boring" goes into that category...

The most recurrent stupid thing I'm used to hear about books must be 'What a waste of time!'.
Oh, and I've also heard someone said that books are useless because it's easier to watch the movies adapted from them! Here's your winner, guys. __________________

This girl in my advisory once said, about summer reading, "Nothing you do will make me read." It seriously broke my heart. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
Also, another girl in my 8th grade class once asked me how many books I had. I told her "too many to count." She's like, "Oh. I have eleven. Two of them are classics." And then she pulls The Odyssey out of her pencil bag and shows it to me. Strangest conversation I have ever had. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] __________________

"I don't read."
Sorry, but some people just don't give anythign a chance...there are so many books...there has to be some genre or type that a person likes. Oh, and "books suck." tops the list too. __________________

I had a co-worker who was always talking abouthow much she loved reading. And she did read all the time. While I was working with her, I think she went through the entire works of Jackie Collins. I tried to talk about books with her, but she'd never heard of anythign I'd ever read, and I only knew the books she liked from having to stock "dumps" of them at B. Dalton.

Anything about not liking to read or that books are boring. I have a heart attack when I hear someone say that. You know that if they say that they hate reading, they just don't do it that often, or maybe never. It's crazy.

When told he had a library book fine at my school, this guy in my English class protested, "But I don't go to the library! I've never even rented a book!" My teacher was like, "You don't rent books, you borrow them."

I actually find it a bit weird that people don't read. To me it's just something you do...Like going to the movies. Alrite that sounds a bit odd...

People who brag by saying "I've never read a book in my entire life".
And those people expecting me to take them seriously? I think not. __________________

The whole "reading is for losers who don't like watching the movie" thing. Realllly old and immature.

I've heard all these before. It makes me sad.
I hate when a person is actually proud that they don't read. It makes me think they are ignorant dumba**** Last edited by BehrItAll; 12-29-2004 at 03:52 AM |
