I think that's more of an ”I've never read a book that wasn't one of the required ones in school, but want to appear smart” thing. Which is admittedly at the very least chud adjacent.
's list of recommended books was all shit like that and Orwell. At least Steve Jobs' list showed he'd maybe read a book that wasn't one of the Anglo ”every schoolchild has read this” ones.
I've found that to be more common with run-of-the-mill libs, where they also always mix up fiction with non-fiction. Chuds just won't read or id they do read it's like they try to read Julius Caesar's auto-biograohy uncritically.
