Escape reality in style with this brutally honest "Reading Because The Real World Is Overrated" tee – because sometimes fictional problems are so much more manageable than real ones.

Envision yourself in this delightfully soft Comfort Colors tee, confidently choosing literary adventures over the chaos of daily life. This vintage-inspired design celebrates every reader who's ever thought "I'd rather deal with dragons than my inbox" and knows that the best plot twists happen between pages, not in the news cycle.

Why this shirt is your reality check:

• Escapist comfort: Ultra-soft 100% ring-spun US cotton (6.1 oz/yd²) that feels like a cozy refuge from the outside world's drama
• Unapologetic attitude: The relaxed fit gives you that perfect "I'm living my best fictional life" confidence when reality gets too real
• Vintage wisdom: Garment-dyed fabric with that perfectly worn-in feel that says you've been escaping into books long before it was trendy
• Truth-telling power: A conversation starter that lets fellow escapists know they've found their tribe
