Read a book
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
A very common rote aphorism often made by pretentious pseudo-intellectuals, neckbeards, atheists, and other obviously stupid people desperately attempting to appear intelligent, "Read a Book" is an extremely banal retort, comeback, or insult that is ironically enough, made almost exclusively by people that don't read. At most, any reading that is done by these numbskulls is done in a perfunctory fashion and is done simply because their teachers or professors made them do so. Nontheless, this unfortunate fact does not prevent these poor misguided souls into parroting this mirthful mantra of the feeble minded whenever they're backed into a corner during a debate or whenever they simply want to feel intelligent.

Examples of erudition
Comebacks and tips for trolling
- Ask them something along the lines of "which books would you suggest I read?" In most cases there will be no response as again, these people typically don't read.
- Tell them that using such trite and platiduninous 3rd rate witticisms is a testament to their own obvious stupidity.
- Use serious, irrefutable facts from wikipedia(or better yet, good 'ol trusty and reliable Encyclopedia Dramatica) and make an ass out of them. WARNING! This will almost invariably result in the pwnt accusing the pwner of having "No life."
- If applicable(and usually, it is) correct their spelling and grammar. Sit back and LOL as they then try to defend their errors and/or try to play them off as "typos."
- .... NO U!!!!1!!!
