Proust = Poseur?

A friend of mine recently theorized that I walk around with Proust books and the like because I am really pretentious and I really just want people to ask me about me and what I'm reading. Not so! In fact, the last thing I want if I'm sitting at, say, a coffee shop or a bar is for some idiot to come up and say something dense like, "So, you're reading a book, eh?" So no, it's not that.

More likely: I want to get on a certain blog.
