What book was it? Important info. When I was an E-5 and aboard ship, I was continually harassed by the “master-at arms” for reading a book in the chow line. He wrote me up for disobeying a direct order and when we went to Captain’s Mast I found out he couldn’t read and that’s why he harassed me. Charge was dismissed and the E-6 was busted to E-5 and directed to learn to read. Don’t know if he ever did. Moral of the story...people who harass you for reading are generally stupid. And dangerous if in a position of Authority.
If I was seen with a science fiction book they said I was a "Trekkie"
If I read Harry Potter they said I was into occultism.
If it was a firearms book I was thought to be planning on shooting someone!(Yes ,I was asked if I was mad at someone.)
If it was a computer book they thought I was trying to hack into the company desktops.
And the strange looks when I was seen reading the Macintosh Bible !!!!
