Academic literature on Catholic conversions in Britain. And that's ALL she reads. Whenever I try to get her to read American literature she says she hates it, despite being an extremely conservative American. Not even memeing.

We are Polish, when my mother was young she used to read the eastern european classics, Dostojewski, Tolstoi etc. her favourite book was Quo Vadis by Sienkiewicz.

Later she started reading cheap romance books, now she doesn't read at all.
It's qute sad, she had a bright mind, the opposite of my father really.

The last thing she read was Brother's Karamazov because I often talk about books I'm reading to her.

I think it made her alcoholism worse...

My mom always talks about her book club books like I would enjoy them. Every single one is
1. Young minority person
2. Historical setting during period of strife
3. "Really cultural"
The club seems to be some sort of virtue signaling competition for suburban women regarding who is most worldly, but she really enjoys it

She reads old sci-fi. My grandpa had a big effect on her. He liked Persian poetry, pulp garbage, Haydn, and John Denver. She's very similar. A human being. Not concerned with perception, but taste. I miss my family. I'm drunk. Don't bully me or I'll throw a dead cat in your mailbox.

With age priorities change, nothing sad about it. If there is no reason besides leizure for her to read, she probably has more than anough other things to do. Further she already read the most relevant works for her. Reading just because it's seen as "big brained" is a degenerated consumerist meme of the west.
