I wish people would read more too. I'm 98% sure that I read more books/articles/etc. than 80% of the people my age. And like you, I dislike how people put up fronts for the sake of sounding intelligent. It's stupid, because you can almost always tell who doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. Oh well...wishing more people would read is like hoping for Jordans worth buying nowadays. Not happening.Originally Posted by Rexanglorum
- It is distressing how little people read. Many kids graduate high school without actually reading an entire book. Hell, some college students in some of the soft majors probably do as well. I am not some snob who hangs out at borders or coffee houses reading all day and claims that any one who watches TV is an uncultured barbarian. I watch TV, play video games and indulge in parts of pop culture but I also make time to read history and class literature and more contain age old lessons and wisdom and they act as the prologue to our world today. Since it is popular to be deep and intellectual, people should stop trying to put up a veneer and actually establish their intellectual credentials the old fashioned way, by reading and learning.
