POTE Response 3

Part I
I suppose I read all over. All around the house, angled all sorts of ways, sitting on my bed, laying off the side of it. It draws me in, like there's a bubble between the book and the rest of the world, so I wouldn't really say it's something I do socially. I wouldn't really call it private though, since it's not like I read to get away from people, or read out of sight. I definitely don't care what people might think about me when I read, unless there's something stupid on the cover somehow. If worse comes to worst, I can just cover the book's front cover. I share passages from books every now and then, but most of the time it doesn't occur to me.

Interestingly enough, I would compare reading to really anything, whether I like the book or not. Anything that's well-paced and suits your tastes suckers you in and is hard to leave/put down. Books are usually harder to pace, because of how slow and fast different people read, but they also allow the most room for little details, since they don't have any time or length constraints.

Part II
Three of my friends and two of my other friends openly hate each other, and they were all former friends. I've tried to act as an in-between, and still plan on it in the future. Neutrality is an strange perspective in a fight. It's a game of cat-and-mouse trying to get them together. Both groups are fine with me being friends with the other group, and there's no tension on the surface, but they are taboo topics to each other.

Part III
I can't really remember anything with perfect clarity, and my sense of smell is horrible. I'll think of something later.

Let's see if the time is still shot on this one.
