This is going to be a different post from the usual, but I think everyone will get a kick out of it!
My boyfriend, at 23 years old, had never read a full novel cover to cover. A couple of months ago, that changed when I finally got him to read Divergent by Veronica Roth. I secretly took notes of the things he said or asked me while reading his first book. I hope you can all get a laugh at his expense (that's what he gets for waiting so long to join us in the world of books)!
----------------------------
Me: Where are you at in the book?
BF: Bitch be talkin' at the dinner table when she's not supposed to!
----------------------------
After reading for a while...
BF: I love that she's all about her freedom now, gettin' tattoos and stuff. Badass. *looking very pleased*
----------------------------
BF: *looks at me nervously* Do we like Four?
----------------------------
Me: So how are you liking the book?
BF: I'm kind of scared to see this movie.
Me: Why?
BF: It's intense. Girls are just getting the crap beat out of them and stuff.
----------------------------
(This comment is my favorite. Possibly made me fall in love with him all over again.)
BF: Eric reminds me of Klaus from Vampire Diaries [the TV show]....because he's a dick...and powerful.
----------------------------
(After Peter stabs Edward)
BF: Dude just got stabbed in the eye! And he quit!
----------------------------
(first flirtatious scene)
BF: Four walked her back to her room, and she was inchin' on him.
----------------------------
BF: *gasps and shuts book* Reading about people making out is way intense.
----------------------------
(after he picked it up again)
BF:*looks up at me curiously* What exactly is the small of your back?
----------------------------
These were some of the more colorful things that he said that I was able to write down. I cannot tell you how funny and adorable it was to watch him react to this book. Currently, he's read all 3 in the Divergent series(!), and has officially started reading Harry Potter. I could not be more proud! Let me know if you enjoy this kind of post because I am totally up for doing this to him again!
