If you read to impress girls you skip parts and try to read really fast just to grasp the plot.
Then you talk to a qt: "Oh, I read <insert book title that seems high-minded for the situatio> and liked a lot, specially <main character> and <some random shit he did>".
Now go to a literary discussion of the book and be shooed because you are a pleb.
Reading carefully takes time! Often I re-read sentences, even a whole page to get the most of it, not because I need, rather for they show a sublime level of wisdom.
Anyone who reads fast won't do that.
A pleb won't became a patrician for the amount of books read, actually they will, although will be /lit/ patrician.
