Sounds like a guy who should read Myers'

*If you haven't read it, it's about a nonreader shipwrecked on the shores of the Commonwealth of Letters, who thereafter wanders in and out of many of the great works of English literature. He starts with the escapist stuff (Robin Hood etc.) and ends up wrestling with the knottier questions in life, finally discovering that his adventures have equipped him with a "portable scale of values".
