What are some books that's enjoyable to discuss with another person? Something that's beyond surface level for dates and such even if the other person hasn't read it?

Wow, she's beautiful.

Nice girl :)

Excellent teeth :)

if you launch into a long ramble about james joyce or something you're going to sound like an idiot
you want a serious answer? pride and prejudice. or great expectations. or the sherlock holmes stories. it is much more likely that another person will have seen a tv/film adaptation of the book than read the book itself.

>pride and prejudice. or great expectations. or the sherlock holmes stories
I consider these surface level conversation books

Unironically Moby-Dick, it's easy to get at some of the meaning as long as you aren't skimming it, it's fairly easy to describe to people, Melville addresses the reader with some of his ideas much more poetically and clearly than other writers might

you sound like a pseud. shouldn't worry about it user. it's not likely you're going to be going on any dates any time soon anyway

i like her hair :)

Tell me, what compels you to make a comment like this? What do you get out of it?

i autistically rambled to an arthoe about don quixote and cinema and she seemed to enjoy it and was asking questions

Yes, I am a pseu that's why I'm asking this question. I went on a date 2 weeks ago and started talking to this girl about The Histories. I couldn't get 3 sentences in before she got bored and forcibly changed subject. I need to know what books are hip and fun to discuss with 20-25 yr olds

Her beauty compels me to comment. I get nothing out of it.

just stop, why cant you figure out how to date on your own? i dont understand this mentality, you pathetic fucking shits. if you dont know how to do it and the date didnt work, you lost, you are a loser. No amount of WHAT BOOKS DO ITALKKKKK is going to save you.

erection

did you both, or a part of you both, hope for a reply as well? as why else would you put a comment out, right?

maybe you should ask her about her favourite book or something hmm?

> I need to know what books are hip and fun to discuss with 20-25 yr olds
John Green shit or whatever tranny romance garbage being pushed on booktok. The best you can hope for is Anthony Doerr so that maybe you can talk about World War 2 or the Byzantine Empire.

Poetry can be romantic to discuss instead of books.

know your audience you fucking autist.

Nobody--and I mean NOBODY--wants to go on a date to get lectured at by some insecure pseud. Jesus that hurt to read.

>starts reciting Frost in the middle of conversation
>date cringes so hard she leaves
Happens to many self proclaimed poets

My mom told me I should tell pretty women they are pretty. Its just reflexive at this point.

Well don't recite it but talking about it can be cute. And asking her about if she likes poetry and her favorites
Actually, yeah lead in by asking what she enjoys reading and ask her to explain it to you/the plot/etc

Genuinely concerning how this is your first reaction to seeing a picture of a hot girl. How far gone are you?

Harry Potter

Uh oh...

Any book can be an enjoyable topic if you make it fun and interesting to hear about even if they have no idea what you are talking about, some obvious exceptions (avoid religious texts and perhaps ‘taboo’ books like Lolita at least on a first date).
You have to be engaging too, if you’re some boring Yea Forums psued, maybe talking about pop, or just lightly mention that you’re interested in literature and bring up a very recognisable (as in movie adaptation) text.
It’s not hard. Normally I’d say “just bee yourself” but you seem somewhat insufferable, so instead read the room and be nice.
> But seriously don’t come to Yea Forums for dating advice next time

You can talk about whatever and captivate other people’s attention if you’re passionate enough as long as you make it relatable.

veneers of course

The bible

>Lemme tell you, Harvey. Her melons were like this!

something that may make you look interesting in a weirdo sense

>talk about religion on first date
>she is actually a church goer
>starts arguing about fossiles
>NUUUU dinasours arn't real, their bones are tests from GOD!
Religion and politics. Stay out of it

Lordy...boner fuel. anyways, I can't really say, considering I mostly read non-fiction. and the fiction I like is usually dystopian sci-fi or horror that talking about it will make sound unhinged. better to just make small talk with broads or talk about my musical tastes honestly.

Honestly, must have been a fun conversation.

Old guys who doesn't take themselves too seriously have the best stories nocap

lore?

Seethe whitey.

He would probably be more interesting to talk to

How does it feel knowing you will always have mud/poo-skin, and nasty pube hair growing on your head? No pretty white woman will ever be attracted to you, with your beady black eyes and gross hockey puck lips. You are genetically inferior.

Revolt Against the Modern World

They're indian.

He's obviously not actually black you fucking retard

Is that Louis Theroux chilling in the background?

Literally anything you find interesting, if you are smart you should be able to articulate why it is interesting to others

This. I rambled about Gravity's Rainbow, then started talking about what little I knew of Stirner through Yea Forums memes while making sure to explicitly say "anarchism" instead of the more square "libertarianism" and this girl was into me. Then I started rambling about how countries should refuse refugees because it's no one's job to take care of outsiders, and that ended it for me. These were Syrian refugees, mind you, so that shows how long it's been since I last flirted.
OP, basically just b urself, but reel it back a bit.

For me, it's the slightly chubby upper arms. God, it must feel so warm to hug her. Lads... will we make it?

This, I’ve told my gfs about moby dick and they were always fairly interested, yet not enough to read it sadly. They even let me read them a few passages.. haha thank god I have a large penis as well

You wont.

>thank god I have a large penis as well
prove it or delete your post

So, OP, what are your hobbies?
>I r-r-I like to read books, sometimes.
Oh, I love reading! Harry Potter and Hunger Games are my favorites. Have you read them?
>No, YA sucks, I only read real literature and stuff that's based.
Oh, ok...Like what?
>Well there's this book called Infinite Jest and it's about a tennis academy but like it's really about the world because it's set in like a near future U.S. except it's actually in the past but when it was written it was in the future, and the year is named after a diaper and there's a halfway house and also a movie that kills you and hey where are you going?

try explaining gravity rainbow

>not reading harry potter or hunger games for the express purpose of shitting on them in front of normies
>lol stretching legs

user… you’re talking to modern women.
Did you even read American psycho? They just want to know you read books they don’t actually want to hear about them. Their brains are nothing but white noise until they are experiencing something in front of them.

let me tell you about a man named holden... JUDGE holden

virgin

Classic response from a vagina-haver
Way to admit you’re only useful for one thing

Lmao. Nope, I'm a guy. I'm just calling you out for being a virgin and a seething fag. You're shit, user.

she would never go for a chad like me
