What screams "I'm uneducated"?

Outside of textbooks I could safely say I've read less than 30 books in my life so far, not a fact I'm proud of either. Though that doesn't keep me from reading articles online or even delving further into my research for projects on a topic I find interesting.

If anything, my favorite part of reading is the rare occasion when I come across a word which I don't understand the context of in a well composed sentence and have to look it up. Makes me feel like a kid again, learning proper use of a new word.

Though as another user said, reading isn't my hobby. I buy books occasionally and life happens. Maybe I will read a chapter, or ten. Then some days I get home from work and I just want to relax by smashing things with a sword in a video game, let my thinkin' meat take a much needed rest. There are times I just don't want to even when it's something I enjoy like a well written graphic novel or some satirical think-piece.
