Yes, I am a book snob.
Yes, I only read complex literary fiction; scholarly, historical non-fiction; and Western philosophy.
Yes, I do think less of anyone who reads contemporary pop fiction and non-fiction.
Yes, 99% of the books I read are written by dead white men.
Yes, this does mean I am better than you.
Any questions?

This just makes you look like a pseud. It's way harder to keep up with contemporary scholarship than the canonical works of a field. Every amateur philosopher I know reads only stuff older than like 50 years.
