... Reading classics makes you pathetic? Hun, no. It makes you smart and well-educated. Being well-educated means reading a lot of stuff usually, from textbooks to news to literature and etc.

And besides, your friends probably assume it's because you read a lot. Unless your friends think that being smart automatically means you talk smart, in which case I don't think I have met many people irl who actually think that. Most people say 'oh, you must read a lot!' when I go off on one of my spiels about a subject.

And heck op, BE PROUD! I personally talk (in real life) like someone out of a Jane Austen novel because of my obsession with her books for four years of my life. Which causes much giggling among others when I drop the F bomb, because as my cousin said- 'You just enunciate it so well! It's like hearing Elizabeth Bennet drop the F bomb.'But regardless, you should be proud that you sound smart and that you ARE smart, and knowledgable. Because you read and have a brain (well, I assume you are intelligent because most people who love classics are). This is good, not pathetic!

And reading good fanfiction is also a good thing. It means you have standards!

I agree with all of this. It makes me wish I had read more classical novels when I was younger instead of bad manga translations. Of course I can't say reading a great deal of Hitchhiker and Discworld hurt my vocabulary. Not terribly anyway.

There is still time to change things! I am still picking up vocabulary from books and TV. I can't tell you how many times I have said 'Frick!' in real life, and I didn't start watching Scrubs until three years ago. Our brains are awesome sponges of doom.

But Hitchhiker and Discworld are AWESOME, and those writer's vocab is wonderfully amazing.
