From a NY Times Room for Debate: "The only thing more embarrassing than catching a guy on the plane looking at pornography on his computer is seeing a guy on the plane reading “The Hunger Games.” Or a Twilight book. Or Harry Potter. The only time I’m O.K. with an adult holding a children’s book is if he’s moving his mouth as he reads. "

I don't even know where to begin with this since I'm a librarian, but I know we have a lot of avid readers on PS (based on the bookshelf post by Haven, amongst other threads) and wondered what y'all think of Mr. Stein's assertion.
