Speak for yourself.

Sometimes when I don't understand what's happening I look at the chapter summary.

It decreases the more I read books, so thats good at least.

I'm guessing you classify everyone in the Mediterranean as non-white.

only WASPs are white apparently?

I exclusively read classic literature in order to seem smarter and talk shit about popular, YA literature despite never having read any of it.

Please not turn this into racism. I am a proud member of African heritage and find this inappropriate

Oh you clever little devil!!

I'd encourage you not to always require information regarding the author and such - being a New Critic from time to time has its own relevance. As for judging a book by it's cover - I'm pretty sure everyone does that. Books are like people in that way; whether we like it or not, we base many of our decisions on aesthetics.
