deiyezooger-
for clarification purposes: I was commenting on something that Sacrilege posted about someone she dated who leined and was mechalel shabbos.
I was not saying that someone who read secular books is mechalel shabbos! (if I did then I would be guilty of it as well)
BTW- when I was in seminary I went to someone for shabbos who did not read anything at all on shabbos besides for divrei torah and the like. Forget about secular- they wouldn’t even read a birthday card that was sent to one of the kids. (true story)
