"X is acting like Voldemort. Voldemort level evil. Literally 1984." What are you a child?

If someone brags about reading for status but only reads fiction, their knowledge is useless in practice. Fiction can be great, but treat it like junk food, enjoyable but not real world wisdom

I never read the book before, only read summaries and some anecdotes of Bradbury being pissed off about people misunderstanding his work. No book is perfect, but I think the message "people won't read because they don't want to" is way more realistic than "people won't read because Big Brotha is watching them"
