It amazes me how many people seem to embrace the fact that they aren't intelligent. Most of the people on facebook have "wut iz a book" or something similar listed as Favorite Books.

I don't see how this makes them dumb. You don't think they actually think "what" is spelt "wut" do you?

It's the attitude that's the problem. These people genuinely don't read and don't ever plan on it, and just because they are aware of that doesn't make it better. In fact, it makes it worse, because they could change if they wanted to.
You can make fun of yourself for little things, or things you can't change, but abandoning reading is too big for that. Acknowledging that it's true, and not doing anything about it, that's the tragedy.

people are way more likely to be "readers" if they were raised to be.
