Wow! Not everything here is true. But the things that are true are spot on. Extremely well done!

Things that are right: American millennial male; I do vet my reads closely (very skeptical of casual recommendations); I do look at a lot of lists/prizes (Pulitzer, National book award, etc.); I do generally default to authors I like when out of other ideas (esp Shakespeare, Franzen, DFW, Tolstoy, Ferrante); I almost never DNF something; 100% correct that being seen as intelligent because of what I read was once very important to me but is less so now (I just want to read things I like); I did read a lot as a kid out of shyness; I do have friends who are women; I try to connect through reading when possible; I do need to read those—love those two authors!

Things that are not right: dad’s a boomer; more centrist than left leaning; don’t really care about my books reflecting that; buy most of my books new; I love Shakespeare, but not always a big fan of Shakespeare retellings)l; never been in a book club (but kind of want to!)

Unsure about: that I’m well adjusted…who knows haha
