My husband dislikes when I read. He says it's "antisocial."
Juni, with all due respect: what the hell doesn't he give you a rash of shit about? Seriously, how dare you read with short hair. Sorry, that just rubs me the wrong way.

If I am in public, say, in a waiting room, reading a book seems to attract everyone and make them desperate to talk to me. "What are you reading? What's that about? Oh, I never can find time to read. I like mysteries, don't you? Blah blah blah blah."
Oh I hate that. Usually if someone says "what are you reading" I reply "a book" and show them the front cover if they're really interested in the title. "What's it about" causes me to bite my tongue to not say "something you probably wouldn't understand." I've never understood people who wait and just sit there, staring into space. Give me a pamphlet or something!
