I Need to Read a Book

I don't read books much. Because I don't need to look for lines to quote.

__

The first time I met her, she was holding a book, talking to friends. Then she slumped on the chair and started reading. She opened the book where her fingers marked it. Then flipped it. Flipped it a couple of pages forward! I knew she was just looking for intelligible lines to quote.

__

Some are just so pretty, so well read, the perfect girl, a social deb...but they don't really know much.

__

I only quote lines that really matter to me, those that I will remember until I die. Some people quote lines because they ain't got nothin'. To say.

__

Every time you quote a smart line from a book, or a song, you come across as...smart?

__

That's what I call "pretencious".

Oh, I spelled it incorrectly? Well, I told you, I don't read much.
