"...And another item from the growing file of people who voluntarily wear dunce caps... You'll be talking cordially to someone and make an offhand reference, 'I recently read where--' and they'll cut you off and say, 'Oh, I don't read'... This is a tragedy on so many different levels.

Next, and this is the most amazing part, they use a demeaning tone like I'm the stupid one for wasting time with books."
