* Early on in ''Series/MrAndMrsSmith2024'', John pretends that a book called ''The Prophet'' is one of his favorites out of jealousy from hearing Jane and Hot Neighbor have that in common. In actuality, he's never even read it and doesn't enjoy reading in general. Jane figuring out it was a lie down the road puts further strain on their marriage.
--> [Jane] kept wanting to understand when her and John are so different, why are we paired? Maybe in some warped way, this company knew to put us together because we have the same favorite book. So the fact that it was all a lie shatters all of that.
** Ironically, while sharing life advice with John, Hot Neighbor asks him if he'd like to borrow his copy of ''The Prophet''.
--->'''John:''' She likes to read. I don't like to read.
--->'''Hot Neighbor:''' You don't have to like it. Just start reading, man.

* ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''. Jerry and George are both frequently seen holding contempt for books, as they both seem to be of the opinion that reading books isn't even a big deal, and proves nothing. In Jerry's case, a lot of it seems to stem from his underlying ManChild tendencies: any reading he does do is usually ''Superman'' comic books; as far as George goes, he isn't too bright anyway, and even feels if the literature has nothing to do with sports, he can't concentrate. It actually serves as a plot point in two episodes:

* Creator/LeahRemini has said several times on her podcast ''Scientology: Fair Game'' that she struggles to read for pleasure because the Scientology teaching methods she was educated with (which are still in use) require you to stop at any word you can't fully define and look that word up in the dictionary. Which is a very strange approach for any author to choose, let alone one who liked to come up with his own neologisms.
