➢ Eddie Munson’s way of reading books.
{TW: MILD mentioning of Eddie's asshole dad, bullying from other kids (PASSAGE IS MARKED WITH A WARNING SIGN), ADHD}
It took him longer than other kids to learn how to read.
⚠️—It was a mixture of struggling with word pronunciation, other kids bullying him for “being stupid,” and the lack of help from home. His mom tried, but his father often insisted that it was unimportant because “the boy’s an idiot.”
Once he got the hang of reading and discovered that he could read his fantasy books now whenever he wanted and not only when mommy had time to read to him, he never put them down.
Can only read when it is completely silent. People talking, music, the tv... Everything is a distraction for the poster child of ADHD.
*cough* Heavy Metal Megazine *cough* Garfield is also top-tier for him... A different tier, though.
Has thrown a books across the room before.
He was mad at the plot twist. So mad.
This is how he mostly holds his books ↓↓
Everything is a bookmark. ↓
When in doubt, dogear your page. Smooths out anyway.
Want to mark an important page? Dogear it forever.
What's a bookshelf? Those suckers get stacked wherever there is room.
The Heavy Metal Magazines are partially pushed under the bed... In case he wants to read something at night. No other reason... Really.
He annotates his books. ↓↓
Very thoughtful at times, unhinged bullying of a stupid character & dirty jokes at others. Also doodles into them. His handwriting is messy, the underlining a mess, but books are a home to be lived in.
Part of his courting process is to buy you a copy of Lord of the Rings. 💕 (either The Hobbit or The Fellowship of the Ring. Most likely The Hobbit.)
He loves it so much & wants to share his favorite books with you—even though he feels a little vulnerable and is scared you might not like them. He made sure to annotate it beforehand, explaining, commenting, and drawing into them for you. For him, it is the epitome of romance.
