what are your thoughts on tom reading muggle literature? would he do it? would he keep it secret?
i am a BIG advocate of tom being an extensive reader who absolutely does consume muggle literature and i don’t think he’d keep it a secret per se but i also don’t think he’d announce it to everyone, if confronted he’d just say “know thy enemy”. i could also see him quoting muggle ideologies to the purebloods and them thinking he’s such an original genius because they don’t read muggle literature but any halfblood/muggleborn would know that mf is an imposter ! cue tom getting side eyes when he quotes dostoevsky.
