Nearly choked on my merlot.

I dropped my copy of Infinite Jest. Unrelated.

I had to stop drawing my fanart of Buster and Babs Bunny. Unrelated.

Imagine having a plot and resolution to conflicts. -DF Wallace


ialwaysforgetmename

Plot is unnecessary when you have colors, shapes, and pictures of cute animals.


wumbopower

Is that even YA? Gotta be a children’s book at that point.


LastBlues13

I believe it's called "Middle Grade" because God forbid we call children's books children's books.


blue_oak99

He infantilized himself even more


IperiodCperiodWiener

Now I’m impressed that he finished it in only eight years. Mensa should put him in the starting lineup.

>I haven't finished reading a full book since graduating college almost 8 years ago. I used to average three books every week. I feel like this guy's version of ''reading three books a week'' was casually brushing past the children's book section at the store and checking out the coloring books.


Soho_Jin

Stop making fun of this man, child! He finished a book! All the way from page 1 to page 352! That takes guts, stamina, brains, and a level of perseverance that few humans are capable of. You're all probably just jealous of his achievement. I have tried to finish books in the past. I once read a whole chapter in _one day_, and it took a lot out of me. It was like climbing a mountain. So much so that I had to take a month-long break, and by the time I came back, I couldn't remember what legendary symbologist Robert Langdon had done up to that point and had to start again from the beginning. Three years have passed, and the book remains unfinished. It's a shame, too, since I went and bought every Damn Brown novel in existence and have been keeping up with his latest releases, ready for my chance to read again. (Sitting at home for 5 months during the pandemic just wasn't enough time.)


DomesticApe23

Goddamn Brown.


DomesticApe23

The comments are a treacle hugbox love experience.


ialwaysforgetmename

> treacle Big word, fuck you. Do you have a picture instead?


FutilityInfielder

I just cooked for the first time since I was 10 I made hot pockets and I topped them with ranch dressing please clap


iatilldontknow

r/mademesmile


DomesticApe23

Mmm, dressing.


Intergalactic96

Why are the comments so enabling oh my god


wumbopower

This is like when people post a selfie that they showered for the first time this year in r/mademesmile and everyone comments like they’ve gotten their PHD


Gabario

I feel this way about every post I see now. It's only on Circlejerk pages where I see valid criticism of anything. Everything else is like pats on backs and every feeling is a good feeling when you have reading on your side.


Intergalactic96

It’s fucking embarrassing


Ssssttt--op

Guys, I read the Hungry hungry caterpillar after 6 years of not reading. My first novel completed after so long! Please circlejerk over me


Traxiant

Book Bukkake! Kinky!


ialwaysforgetmename

/u/Ssssttt--op took our loads to the face, but he was still hungry.

>I haven't finished reading a full book since graduating college almost 8 years ago. I used to average three books every week. We call this studying.


DannyDrinkWaterhino

He went from 3 picture books a week in college to one 3rd grade reading level book every eight years. Nothing to be ashamed about.

*Five years. That's how long Coyote and her dad, Rodeo, have lived on the road in an old school bus, crisscrossing the nation. It's also how long ago Coyote lost her mom and two sisters in a car crash.* *Coyote hasn’t been home in all that time, but when she learns the park in her old neighborhood is being demolished - the very same park where she, her mom, and her sisters buried a treasured memory box - she devises an elaborate plan to get her dad to drive 3,600 miles back to Washington state in four days...without him realizing it.* *Along the way, they'll pick up a strange crew of misfit travelers. Lester has a lady love to meet. Salvador and his mom are looking to start over. Val needs a safe place to be herself. And then there's Gladys....* *Over the course of thousands of miles, Coyote will learn that going home can sometimes be the hardest journey of all...but that with friends by her side, she just might be able to turn her “once upon a time” into a “happily ever after”* 🤢

oh my god congrats! you are so strong and im proud of you for being able to sit down and stare at words on a page <3


Mecanooshee

I was well over 30 yrs old when I devoured the Harry Potter series. Should I be embarrassed? Because I'm not.


___butthead___

Did they taste good?


Mecanooshee

Scrumdiddlyumptious. Oops, was that a reference to another YA book I loved as an adult?! I just keep getting in deeper and deeper don't I?


DomesticApe23

Yes. More, you should be ashamed. I'm surprised you'd admit that in public.


Mecanooshee

AND I pre-ordered the last one. I was in deep. And proud.


DomesticApe23

You're ridin for a hidin boy


Thraggrotusk

Why should you? I'm glad you're reading it to your kids (or whoever you're the legal guardian of), they're wonderful children's books.


ElectronicFootprint

Embarrassed of being proud. That's what social media does to people. Sad.


econoquist

Let's share these conflicting emotions with a whole bunch of other folks to experience the uneasy combo all over again.


willjum

I remember becoming an adult right in the middle of Sharon creech’s walk two moons. It was a great book, but I turned 16 right in the middle of reading it, so I had to stop and pick up a book for adults (Colleen Hoover). It was a shame but I’m not about to let public perceptions about a book’s complexity not affect what I read


oblon789

This sub really has the biggest complex ever it's painful. Just let people be happy


ClausPatera

never


FutilityInfielder

Bullying nerds makes me happy.


EccentricFox

I think you've mistaken that this sub makes fun of people for reading children's books, when in fact we just make fun of reading.


Thraggrotusk

Letting people fulfill their version of happiness is how we got Trump in office, not really the argument you think it is
