It is nice to see that I am not completely alone in thinking that writing to your audience is important. I am curious to see the number of people that think that educating that audience is somehow part of good writing. If you're writing text books then I can see that is important, but if you're writing a novel then I don't see that as the author's job. I think that reading is good for people's minds, regardless of whether it directly expands their vocabulary - simply exercising your imagination is a good thing I think, and a book does not have to be technically spotless to achieve that. I am generally suspicious of books advertised as "good for me".
