you read any form of genre fiction
you barely know your classics
you tend to believe that if you like a given work, it is justified on an artistic level
you think everyone's opinion should be accepted and respected
you speak a single language
you read contemporary versions of Shakespeare or Milton
you read for the plot
you read for entertainment
you rarely read nonfiction
you don't have a solid grounding in philosophy
you do not at least have some understanding of the Three Tragedians and Homer
you have little to no understanding of literature outside of your cultural horizon
you have little to no understanding of literature within your own cultural horizon (muh african authors)
you mostly read contemporary literature
you believe 'the author is dead'
you make your literary analysis proceed from ideology
you think intricate prose is 'pretentious' and that the author 'should just get to the point'
your rarely read poetry
you think Rhythm and Rhyme is just useless rules and laws restricting creativity
you have a hard time explaining why you like a given work
you have a hard time forming structured and relevant literary criticism
you tend to refuse to judge works for yourself, rather relying on the opinions of literary authorities
you rarely read for more than one or two hours straight
