[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is something ironic about reporting on an article you read in the New Yorker about performative reading.

For a long time the New Yorker was the only print reading I did because it was so dang performative. Then my subscription lapsed and I was forced to start reading romantasy and sci fi. Much happier! [/quote]

Ha, me too! I'm much happier with my cozy mystery reading.

Reading the New Yorker and discussing it is performative OP. [/quote]

Is it? This is an anonymous forum, not a public display. Who cares what you read so long it’s not scrolling instagram or TikTok. My SO also loves mysteries and describes these as intellectual junk food, which is needed after a hard day’s reading and writing legal briefs. [/quote]

Now I find that weird because the New Yorker has such great articles. I became a subscriber because we used to use this automotive shop that specialized in foreign brands (I had a BMW I bought used that turned out to have a ton more problems than the one I previously owned). His waiting area was stocked with his old New Yorker mags instead of Car and Driver and tire ads. [/quote]
