Filthy plebs

My mother's a psychoanalyst and university professor and probably has over a thousand books on psychoanalysis and psychology, some philosophy too. She doesn't read much fiction though.

My father graduated in history, but doesn't work in the field anymore. He used to read a lot, he pretty much got me into reading actually, by introducing me to entry-level like Orwell and Huxley. He also introduced me to Pynchon and Bukowski.
But now he doesn't read at all. It's sad actually.
