<building a tower of soap boxes and climbing up>
Actually I'm getting quite upset over here now that I read the topic starter post a bit more thorough.
It's extactly that kind of attitude that makes some people look at us "readers" as boring nerds or geeks or whatever would be the appropriate English term.
My friends that don't read books are very smart people. The people that not only build the roads you drive on but make all the calculations involved when constuction that new bridge or tunnel you drive through.
They are the ones that build your house and repair your cars.
They are the ones developing the software for your computer or eReader.
They are in some cases people with IQ most of us can only dream of. They know lots of things about how things work and what goes on in this world.
They just don't like to read books. They have other hobbies!
