We've argued here many times over things such as:
- What books are to be in the "canon" of "the classics" that "all" students should read
+ forever a hot potato
- Is listening to a book "reading"
- Is the practice of reading a book morally superior to watching tv shows?
- Are "genre" books for the "low brow".
It's like the article tried to take on every controversy in reading

Reading is not morally superior to watching TV and genre books are not "low brow". Those ideas are rubbish and snobbish.
