Thank you for your input! In posting this, I became aware that I also need to change the way I launder these items in addition to find a better quality, in general. Going forward, I will do both.
Everything you said here resonates. I am so bored with elitism, classism, and just the general, "I do this thing and it makes me better and more important than you." I guess I am also so weary of the whole productivity mindset. Even with my spare time, reading books, I have to be in that mindset or I am doing it all wrong. Sigh.
I have read many classics, for sure. And certainly not all reading is equal. Most of us are likely to agree on that. But what matters to us as individuals and where we find meaning can be a very subjective thing. He seemed to find meaning and value in the classics of the Western canon, which is great. But there are a lot of interesting works outside of this, as well. And if reading what some might consider trash novels gets someone through the day, who am I to judge?

I have had my Cuisinart CPK-17P1 for five years. I use it almost every day.
