The fact that this character could have read so much and still be such an idiot is either bad writing or a very poignant message, potentially directed at the types of snobs that think reading makes them better than everyone else.

I don't know, but episode 13 of season 4 is called "Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels."

Maybe the book appears in that episode. Or it might be just name-dropping in the title.

Ah yes, those old American classics... The Art of War by Sun Tzu or The Bhagavad Gita or Candide or War and Peace or Crime and Punishment or Dead Souls or Don Quixote or Ethics by Aristotle or Madame Bovary or Siddhartha or The Trial by Kafka. The only people in the world who would be caught reading these are American.

He (you?) was talking about 'high school reading tier stuff', genius. Nobody reads the books you're mentioning in high school. A number of the books on the list are however ones which are commonly assigned to American high schoolers, but not elsewhere.
