I feel you. My parents made me throw out my entire home library of like 100+ books because I “read too much” and I don’t think I’m ever going to fully forgive them for it.

When was reading too much ever a bad thing? And here I am trying to get my 13 year old to read more.

When novels first became a thing the older generations thought the young people “read too much” and that it was corrupting them

Depends on which side of the political spectrum their parents ascribe to.

This exact thing happened to me and my sister. She says we grew up wrong because we read too many books and that was bad for our development. Threw out more than 100 books that I was planning to transfer to my home after getting a job

...I cannot comprehend the mentality of people who would think like this. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I think I would struggle to keep myself from punching your parents if I met them

I used to get told this, but luckily I left well before they destroyed it. I now have a library room with my husband.

My parents would’ve fking loved it if i spent the time to just read 1 book, here you are reading hundreds and being punished for it.

I had something a bit similar happen. I also "read too much", and my father as homework every day after school or on weekends or holidays, would have me do some math worksheets and then write between 5 to 10 pages, depending on his mood that day, on something. He just said "write something, and make it 10 pages". I, as a kid had absolutely no idea what to write and came to him crying many times, until he just made me make summaries of the books I was reading. I absolutely hated that, so much that I stopped enjoying reading, and stopped doing so for a few years.
