I don’t see how reading “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” or “Goodnight Nobody” makes me a better person.

Ya....a while ago the "book to read" here in Seattle, was Middlesex. Everyone prattled on about how wonderful it was but no one seemed capable of expressing how it made them a better thinker.What's going on is that liberals who "read more" are just engaging in escapism: it's like watching 6 hours of soap operas and turning off the TV when a documentary on physics comes on - how does that sharpen your mind?
