How dare you insinuate that I am not already the smartest person on this planet?? I don't need no stinkin' books!
:D :D
Hahaha, no, I'm just being lazy. I dunno what books have made me smarter. Some have, for sure. The Scarlet Letter cracked my brain open, I know. Hawthorne is far too sparing with punctuation. :crazy::crazy:

Especially if they held your attention, those can be rare.

I've learned something from every book that I've ever read. Even if it was just that the book or author sucks.
