This absolutely smacks of privilege. As a former teacher there can be so many barriers to people picking up a book for the first time and sometimes, these “easy reads” are the hook that can get them started, and they aren’t easy to all people! What can be a challenging read for some is very different to what might be a challenging read for someone with a completely different upbringing. This kind of attitude can really turn people off reading or even scare them from even trying it in the first place because they’re worried they’re not reading “good enough” books.
