I don’t think all reading is intended to be equal.

I have read many classics, for sure. And certainly not all reading is equal. Most of us are likely to agree on that. But what matters to us as individuals and where we find meaning can be a very subjective thing. He seemed to find meaning and value in the classics of the Western canon, which is great. But there are a lot of interesting works outside of this, as well. And if reading what some might consider trash novels gets someone through the day, who am I to judge?

Equal in what? And why does it matter if it is?
