When the older woman and girl go off for a minute, she asks, 'Who is it that got you interested in reading?' I told her my father never got to go to college, in fact, finished high school in the Army (1951), but read everything he could get his hands on.
Whenever he finished reading something, I would grab it up and read it, so I was reading waaay ahead of my grade level

I read all the time. I'm a dork. One of the best things about vacation is all the reading time.

forgetting the fact that you totally misquoted her in your title. it appears she was wondering why white people would be reading in social situations.
Going to a burger king is not a social situation - it's a mistake.

Because it makes us smart.

Because white people have a desire to exercise their brain, not sit and let it rot.

Isolated situation and bullshite. I know plenty of black people who are avid readers.

Why do white people read in Burger King

On a side note, the book I'm reading seems so painfully white that I can hear the author in some uppity nasally voice just based on sentence structure and choice of vocabulary. It's Plato at the Googleplex. It's Wilco level of cracker.

I honestly cant say I read very often but I wish I did.
I just need the right book I suppose.

Because it takes so damned long for them to get your food ready.

I have a hard time reading on vacation. When I travel, I have to be doing something that doesn't involve me sitting in the same place for an extended period of time. I'm not much of a relaxer.

So she says she sees people when she's travelling, on cruises, on the beach, etc. reading. She said, " I never even think about reading when I'm travelling, and I'm a teacher. And I always wondered why those people were reading."
I said "What people?". she said, "White people".
You should have told her you heard this song and took it to heart.

I mostly read when I travel, it just passes the time better than anything else.

What about on a plane, or in an airport? Most travel takes time...of which you can't really do much else (except work, but F that on a vacation).

Yeah, I dunno. When I'm in an airport, I usually go pick up a magazine like The Economist that I can dabble in on and off or I just walk through the terminal and go in all the stores if I have time. On the plane, I'll read a little. We are all different, I suppose.
I read at home and when I'm at lunch by myself during my everyday life though.
