On the one hand, if people realize that you're masking your latest round of Portable Ops by pretending to read a literary classic they'll soon come to the obvious conclusion: you don't know how to read. On the other hand, if they fall for it and believe you're devouring Dante's epic poem , they'll start to wonder why you've been on the same page for the last 45 minutes while periodically grunting and fidgeting. Again, the same conclusion is inevitably reached: you don't know how to read. We'll just play our PSPs publicly and proud, thanks.
