Am I being a book snob?

I considered myself being a book snob for a long time and this is a kind of attitude that I really don't like but can't help it. I'm a certified fiction addict and I am happy about the things happen in the story. Knowing that there is nothing to learn about it as long as it gives me thrill. Being a snob is just expressing my personal preference, or being a snob and expecting something good from writers.

I, accept the fact, that people are different and will naturally like different books, movies, food, shoes, clothes even friends. I chose story of books that will gave me thrill and excitement while reading it, I don't like books that makes me bored but I don't even criticize

    My Struggles of Literacy and How I Work to Fix Them Literacy, in my eyes, is the way of sharing ideas, facts, and emotion. Emotional literacy such as poetry has had a big role in what I read today. They can express things in simplicity and make it so vivid at the same time. Any book can have the ability to change a perspective on a certain topic or helps me acknowledge the things around me. Enjoying to read has never been the issue, but pronouncing certain words that I’m reading has.…

When I was younger, I never liked to read, but now as I have gotten older, I read more and more different kinds of books and novels.

On the first day of school, the teacher informed us that the only genre we would be allowed to read for out reading logs, which were unnecessarily complicated, was nonfiction.…
