Why does it matter to think, or clarify you’re superior to them in reading habits, preference or comprehension? That’s weird and superficial in a messed up way lol. Kind of the point of book clubs I think to ah e differing views and perceptions. To help each other understand or see things.

I comprehend things further than most people, and I don’t think of them as beneath me or even consider they have a smoother brain. You have a massive ego if that’s how you’re viewing it. People who don’t see as deeply as I do, enjoy hearing me explain the things they don’t pick up on. Or how I connect things, bc even if it’s not accurate, it’s a different view. It’s a perception. They like hearing it from that way, and it gets them thinking, and sometimes they pick up on something in a different way from it, or notice more I haven’t.

Worth noting, we’re able to talk like that because I don’t view them or myself, the way you are viewing your group, and self. I have a feeling you explaining stuff would come across varying kinds of condescending.
