Never.

Hm. True.

I usually stick with "It's hard to explain..." then putting my headphones back on and continuing to read.

You've inspired me.
One of these days I'll respond "Parlez-vous Francais?"
Somehow I'll make it work. Even though the book title is clearly written in English.

I live but to serve.

And by serving, make the world a better place for smart-ass bookworms.

Me neither. I hate that. I usually use "It's hard to describe.." Which really doesn't help. Because then you get pestered.. I need some new ideas.

felisarcanum January 1 2006, 02:13:27 UTC

Wear headphones when you're out in public.
That way you can put them on and block attempts at further pestering.

I usually do (Cthulhu bless the 1 gig iPod shuffles).. But it's just in general, online, etc.. It usually ends up with "You know, I've got to go.."

Well online I just direct them to the Amazon reviews. :)

I just hand the book to them and tell them to read the back, so I don't have to explain.

felisarcanum January 1 2006, 02:22:49 UTC

That too.
Or I just read them the back.

I usually just quote the one sentence summary that is usually conveniently located on the publication info page.
