I love Roger Ebert, but he uses well-read in the context of a literature professor. I read contracts and cases all day long - for me, being well-read is reading something that can norish my soul after all that disagreement and negotiating. I agree with DiapDealer that being well-read requires a variety of reading. That is something I struggle with - just like I can eat the same thing for dinner for a month straight (I am at 3 weeks right now with my focaccia flatbread buns and chicken, spinich and cheese burgers), I can read the same thing for an extended period. Right now it is romance and mystery. In 2010 it was books about the financial meltdown. In 2004, it was political books.
But perhaps I doth protest too much.
