@BrothaZay doesnt need to read because he wrote the book on life 
nikka, you post the dumbest shyt on this site.
That's actually sufficient, to an extent, but probably more than people realize. Since I was a kid, I have consistently tested in the 99th percentile for reading/writing. It wasn't until the age of 18, that I had completed an actual book, all of my reading came from games and random articles I would encounter on the topics I enjoyed, which at the time was debate (religion and politics) related. I used to write papers for people attending community colleges all the way up to top 100 schools, they all reported excellent marks.
Reading is important, obviously, but this issue of reading in America is a top-down issue, so I wouldn't seek to admonish an American for their inability to read or their reluctance to do so, because in reality, it is a failing of their education system. Sure, schools have assigned reading, but it means fukk all when the No Child Left Behind Act kicks in, and the only requirement, especially in poor southern schools, is that the student passes a standardized test at the end of the year, one which has little to do with advanced reading, if at all.
Just consider this, America, a developed nation, boasting the highest GDP, doesn't even have a 100% literacy rate, we don't even rank top 10 in this regard. It gets scarier you you break that down to the reading level, and you discover that a significant chunk of Americans can't clear reading at a 10th grade level. America continues to produce workers, and it puts very little effort towards improving education, and a specific political party (Republicans) definitely isn't helping with that, thus the gap in educational standards between a state like Alabama and a state like Massachusetts and you can couple that with further roadblocks at the federal level.
If you can read, and you read often, that is great, but I would say that one should consider what America constantly produces before admonishing one for their lack of reading. And I'm not directing this towards you, I suppose I already responded to your exact comment in the first couple of sentences, I'm just speaking to the sentiment I'm getting from this thread. As a determinist, I will always see failings of this kind from a top-down perspective when it comes to responsibility, so the criticisms should be directed there in order for improvements to follow, thus a trickle down effect to the average citizen. That's the net positive approach, in my opinion.
