Weird conversations with readers

Hey, fellow bookworms! Come on in and smell the books.

I think we can all agree that many different types of people are asked a few certain questions throughout life, depending on their life choices. As a person who has chosen reading as a life choice, here are five conversations I have on a daily basis.

Person: Hey, what are you reading?
Me [Excited that person is asking about books]: Oh, it's Wuthering Heights! Have you heard of it?
Person: No, I haven't heard of it! Are you reading it for school?
Nope, just reading, thanks

Me: Do you like to read?
Person: Ew. Reading is boring.
Me: [Avoids person for life]

Survey: Would you rather: A. Read unlimited books and make no money or: B. make money and read no books?
Me: A all the way.

[Me reading]
Sweet old person: Oh my gosh! This girl is reading? I didn't know this generation even reads books anymore! Good for you!

Person: So what's your major?
Me: English.
Person: Oh... So do you want to teach?
(the answer is no. Teaching is for education majors people)
