Spanish Reader
I've gotten 2 books published, yet people still consider me a non-reader, what to do?
I read a lot, but I've never read a literature book. I'm Mexican, and I teach Spanish to Americans for a living.
I'm fluent in 6 languages; I'm addicted to language books. I have my room full of grammar-exercise books in Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish, English, French, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and Nahuatl (Aztec.)
I've had such a passion for grammar; I wrote and got 2 books locally published to learn Spanish.
I studied business, not English. But because I opened my own language school and got books published, I know many people who studied English or Literature as their major. They all kinda snob me because I don't know anything about the stupid books they are reading.
But I read A LOT, I just hate fiction. I love to read biography books of people who got rich, business books, how-to-do books, and world-history books. I think I read just as much as those people.
Just because I've never read any of the classics, or because I hate literature.
Does that make me a non-reader?
No - you do not have to be what is considered "classically well read" to be considered a reader and certainly not a writer. Your work may even be more original because of it.
Art - classic and new - is always in the eye of the beholder!

Ray (Widescreen Edition) $2.76 Jamie Foxx's uncannily accurate performance isn't the only good thing about Ray. Riding high on a wave of Oscar buzz, Foxx proved himself worthy of all the hype by portraying blind R&B legend Ray Charles in a warts-and-all performance that Charles approved shortly before his death in June 2004. Despite a few dramatic embellishments of actual incidents (such as the suggestion that the accidental dr... |
