History and the Reader | 
RamsFan1963 I don't know how I feel about this quote. I think lots of kids are turned off reading because schools force them to read "classics" they feel they should read. Reading should be a pleasure not a chore to get through. Read what makes you happy. 4y
ShyBookOwl @RamsFan1963 I definitely feel some elitist vibes in this quote. What makes a book worth reading? It's so subjective. Just because it's a "classic" doesn't make it good. In fact, we benefit from reading more diversely. 4y
Lesanne Maybe it‘s today‘s politically charged environment but I interpreted this as people being able to read but not think critically about what they choose to read. Therefore many are unable to distinguish well vetted facts from misinformation. I probably got it all wrong, though! 4y
ShyBookOwl @Lesanne Interesting take! 4y
RamsFan1963 @Lesanne Interesting, I never thought of it from that angle. 4y
