There was a time when being ‘well read’ was a thing. I doubt it is any more, how would it even be possible, and what would it even mean? The vast majority of books that are written are never read, except by their authors. Thousands of books are published every single day. Knowledge has always been bigger than books, books were just a moment-in-time way to carry some of it, to some people. Now books are an individual taste, like blueberries or leather boots, and knowledge comes to you as you need it, via the Net.
