So instead he just lets his gaze wander the cafe instead of meeting Elliot's eyes because it's easier to pretend he's not completely socially awkward still.

Very funny. I'm actually not a huge reader and listening to Kerouac via audiobook is boring as shit. If anything I'm a magazine person. [Because pictures are better than words. Pictures can help him guess context if he can't decipher words while they're floating off the page…but Elliot doesn't need to know that, either.]
I think it's cute that you think I know anything about everything you're namedropping. [He does though, that's the problem. He does and he just sort of smirks in response.] Also I think it's a subtle way of making fun of me but I can respect that.
