But what if the thief steals the books not to read them, but just to fill their house with books and make themselves seem erudite and intelligent?

I'm imagining the most extreme version of this, where a man is living in a house that is a veritable library. Yet, they're actually illiterate.

Sounds like a "truther" or flat earther.

I was about to describe here a world wherein a flat earther glass through a book to call it out on all the "lies", then I realised "oh wait, I literally watched a video on that"

... It was a children's science book ๐Ÿ˜‚
