Trivially put, it could imply a mere registration of read works, where the well-read individual has insight into basic, bibliographically ordered authors and their works, capable of indicating at least the approximate time of creation and the theme of each work. A higher level of literacy involves the ability to systematically consider the classification and arrangement of read works based on a freely chosen criterion. This requires not only reading but also interpreting the underlying, dominant idea of each read work.
