I started reading Shakespeare when I was nine. Wanting to be all "Hi, I'm nine and I read Shakespeare" was definitely part of it.

...And look, I guess I'm STILL bragging!

But that also meant I wanted to *become the person that had read the Shakespeare* as soon as possible. Whatever was in those books, it was apparently big and important and mind-expanding and I wanted that in my brain *now*, please. I wanted to prove I was ready for the big guns.

Admittedly doing stuff for bragging rights as an adult is a bit different from doing it when you're nine, but 1) how can you tell when that's why people are doing reading something? 2) Even if they do enjoy a bit of bragging, how do you know that means they didn't also sincerely enjoy the book? Maybe bragging rights isn't the noblest reason to push yourself a little further intellectually than you might otherwise go but that doesn't mean you don't genuinely get something from it.

People who sneer at everything "below" a perceived intellectual standard can fuck right off, though.
