I wouldn't call someone "well read" just for reading lots of books. I'd call them a "book worm". "Book worm" still has more positive connotations than "binge watcher" or "couch potato", but "well read" indicates that they read the classics and can talk about them intelligently.


Thanks for clarifying that up, wasn’t aware of book worm vs well read.

My main point really was that reading requires a more active effort than watching which is passive.


Tiktok also has classics, I presume?
