Poll because I watched a youtube video and am an annoying elitist

#i feel liek some books actively erase people's ability to think critically AHHSDHFHGHG #and make them have annoying opinions #polls #slightly scared about not turning reblogs off but i'll just delete the original post if it gets out of hand xD #but yeah like. i think some books are the kind where reading them isnt going to challenge you or change your views in any meaningful way #or maybe its more a matter of how you engage with them #anyway i'm aware this is a loaded question and there is cultural baggage attached to conceptualising 'bad books' etc etc #but i swear to god #reading like. fantasy smut. isnt going to make you a more intelligent thoughtful person ajhhdgjkgjghk #reading fantasy smut is still ok!!! i write that shit!!! but it's a morally neutral activity lol like watching tv #it can be fun but for me the worth of reading books is understanding the world and human condition & seeing diff perspectives & developing #critical thinking skills.... #i talked to a friend abt this and she said that someone who watches documentaries for a year & doesnt read books is going to get more smort #than someone who reads 12 terrible romance books in a row hahsdhgnghgj #which i agree with #so yeah
