should a person read for the plot or the prose

Neither, subtext.
Why are they mutually exclusive?

If plot and prose are not synched to subtext the book sucks anyway, therefore, it's all three (at least)
>read for the prose
Wouldn't it be better to read poetry then?
>reading for plot
>reading for prose
This is who I share my board with?

I don't think so. Prose and poetry are just two forms of writing, I don't think one is intrinsically better than the other regarding this aspect.

Really depends on the book
I tend to read for plot. Prose is nice, but there's few things as infuriating as total trash for plot, but with great prose.
