Loving books doesn't make me nerdy.

Oh, didn't you get the memo? Anything intellectual is nerdy!

You don't have to be 'intellectual' to enjoy a good story.

You have to be relatively 'intellectual' to be able to read.

Why is nerdy such a negative thing?

That's pretty sad. Last I checked we all learn to read at about age three.

I hardly hear the term in a positive light.

You're really unaware of how many children can't read in this country...?

It's not a bad thing, but if others believe it to be that's no reason for you to buy into it.

Of course I am. But, statistically...

I don't, I just find it annoying.

Statistically more children have an opportunity to get an early education than not, yes?

Fair enough. It's just another reason for people to categorize.

Even if that wasn't true, it's not like parents can't teach their kids themselves.

Exactly.

I agree.

I find it funny that it's usually those who can't read for shit that call people who like books 'nerds'.
