I can understand that if someone is reading a paper. But when I'm reading a book in a pub, I'm reading a book in a pub, I don not wish nor expect to be interrupted. Books, for me at least, are for reading, not props. Pornified Doll of the Patriarchy and Man-Hater Extraordinaire. Thanks. | |

The thought of reading something at a munch as crossed my mind. I do have 'a shy streak' (sometimes hard to believe I know  ) for past reasons I will not go into on a forum. One other reason is I'm not a big drinker. The beer costs too much at 'The dock'. It's case of a prop of something to do with my hands. If my laptop was in better nick then thought of taking that playing games. If someone did try to start chating I could always show them some interesting video I had thought of taking a board game to the Liverpool munch (taking a leaf out of Psycheee's book). Knowing the group it most likely the box just end sitting on the table. However I'd love to be proven wrong. Edited 18 Jul 09, 11:19 AM by The_Squisher | |

I wouldn't, but I suppose that's because I'm awkward and I know how spacey I am when I'm reading. Someone could be dancing naked in front of me and singing the Ding Dong Song and I wouldn't notice. Should I manage to pluck up the courage to try and rouse them from their reading, I'd probably ask about the book, whether they'd recommend it etc. That's normally a good conversation starter. | |

Mmmmm sounds like a good idea to take a book to a munch I have not been to. As the general consensus seems to be it will get people to talk to me as I would be a tad too shy to start a conversation myself. | |

I have held a "bring your current book" Munch. Very interesting to see the range of material concsumed by regulars, and a change from the "bring your latest kink book" review. Reading certainly does not exclude you from a Munch. It might be a good way to ensure only the confident & polite types actually speak to you. T.
