Which celebrities are big readers?

Besides Oprah, Reese Witherspoon, Jenna Bush Hager, Emma Roberts, and Queen Camilla (who all have book clubs).

Julie Christie (said she has turned down work opportunities because it interfered with her reading)

Barack Obama (releases his to-read list every summer)

Dan Stevens (such a dedicated reader they asked him one year to help judge the Booker Prize)

Sarah Jessica Parker (has her own publishing imprint because she loves reading so much)

Trevor Noah

Mindy Kaling

I wonder what the overlap is between those who are big readers and those who like classical music.

More likely, their assistants are told to read and summarize the books for them in a 15 minute conversation.

If they're such erudite bibliophiles why do the speak like such vapid imbeciles?

Dolly Parton has been supplying books for kids to read for years through her book gifting program, Imagination Library.

One could assume this makes her a big reader herself. Or not.

Steve Martin, I'd wager.

When Bette Midler started her residency in Las Vegas with a hotel, her husband bought her every single one of the Penguin Classics so she'd have something to read while in Vegas. I thought that was pretty cool.

Poor Marilyn. No way for a minute did I ever think she really read those books.

I love that she's photographed reading Joyce's Ulysses opened to the final pages--like she read the whole thing.

Oprah reads and champions shitty books, does she not?

Thackeray, George Eliot, Dostoevsky can't be merched.
