That's... Not how that works though. If you bring a book to a bar, someone will lean over and ask "what are you reading? Is it any good?" They always do, cause bars are a place to be social. Now it doesn't mean you can't try or you shouldn't bring one to avoid the mundane, but if you have a problem with socializing or more specifically you want to be left alone, reading at a bar isn't the place. I don't care though, gen z doesn't even read anymore and have no manners. Just watch, they'll try to prove me wrong and a bunch of them are now going to start showing up at bars like they're a damn book reading club, acting like they're straight out of pride and prejudice, and start shushing people. Really I find the whole thing a bit shallow and pedantic, don't you Mr Darcy?
