			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today&#8217;s poll is in response to a concept brought up in a <a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/home.php#/topic.php?uid=10669898542&amp;topic=5366">facebook fan page conversation</a> about &#8220;Well Read.&#8221;  In order to be someone who is considered well read, we generally agreed that one had to read a diverse collection of high-quality books (whatever that means can be dissected, but for now just assume that it is true).</p>
<p>The question underneath this is: does someone have to read fiction as well as non-fiction to be well read?  Can someone be well-read and just read fiction?  Can they be well-read and only read non-fiction?</p>
