How much do you read?

Asked by josie (30934points) April 28th, 2011

In recent threads, I was coached that I, or other Americans, should read more.

It is certainly a recurring method of condescension on Fluther to render a judgement that one jelly or another did not read enough or that they read the wrong thing.

It is, I guess, a way of saying that certain poor folks are so provincial and stupid that they need literary guidance.

I enjoy reading, and I read a lot, but I still get admonitions from jellies that I do not read enough or that I do not read the right books.

I was always sort of proud of my commitment to reading and learning, but it crosses my mind that maybe Fluther is really nothing but a literary club and I did not know that.

I guess that I can infer that lots of people on this site must read alot, and that a certain minimum standard must be met, or one is subject to negative intellectual assessment.

So, how much do you read? We will use as a standard “books per month”.

Just curious.
