They don't do that exactly. They see read as way to get ahead in
life through volume. "The more I read the more I know" is what they the
feel. They basically try to pull out the Cliff Notes of a novel they read.
They don't apply any of it to their lives.

Don't wimp out. Do whatever you want. I just pray to God, or
whatever, that you find someone to live life with who has similar beautiful
objectives.
Mine: to find a wife, make her my religion and everything I believe
in and do is for her. and to live by the ocean with her.
However I'll end up in some dead-end middle-management job making
money and unhappy, yet happy, voting the complete Republican ballot and
dying with money in the bank and undealt with stress in a rural New York
town just like the idiots I hate
God I hope I find the right woman.
