[Girshkin]

Even within the 'read a fucking book' message there is a snobbery as to what kind of book is being read. My ex is an English teacher who has many over-anxious parents concerned because little Timmy likes to read comics, rather than War and Peace. His usual response is that as long as the comic is age-appropriate it should be encouraged, as any kind of reading is a good thing.

There's enough vapid content in any kind of media just now, that surely the content rather than the means in which it is presented should be more important, but as you have suggested, the attitude is that books are somehow more 'worthy' than films etc.
