A horde of mean teens ridiculed me for reading William Shakespeare's Star Wars at the cafe last week. Saying "look at this nerd shit" and held the book over my head as I begged them to at least not remove the bejewelled butterfly bookmark.

Probably masking their self consciousness about their self-perceived low intellect.
