Does anybody know any non-readers?
If so, does it anger you? If you've asked about it, what justification do they give?
Maybe its just my own psychosis but I don't think I could be friends with someone who didn't own books (or an ereader). To me that probably means their knowledge consists of tv or magazines (mind-candy mags, not Popular Science) and thats a headache I don't need lol.
Not that books necessarily make someone more intelligent but reading certainly requires a certain level of brain power and requires more critical thinking than a diet of People magazine or American Idol does.
And no, I don't mean those who are unfortunately illiterate. I mean those who are perfectly able but just don't for whatever reason.
