Can’t agree. Reading a lot of genre fiction, for example, doesn’t make you well read, although there’s certainly nothing wrong with it if that’s where your heart lies. I’d say it’s a combination of reading in breadth and depth, as pwalker said in different words, and the proportions can vary; there’s no ideal mix. But focusing exclusively on westerns or romance, for example, does not rise to being well-read.
