"One can always buy a slave for such things". - (Blood Brothers of Gor, Chapter 2, Sentence #61)

I would suppose that almost any Gorean, even of the Peasants, who wishes to learn to read or write could do so, but many find these skills of little interest or use. Too, for example, many warriors, despite being of high caste, take great pride in being strangers to letters. Many seem to feel that literacy is something to conceal if one is a warrior; that literacy is for, say, poets, or scribes, and not something appropriate for those trained to the mud of the field or the reins of the tarn, for those whose province it is to do war, to command, to fight and rule. "One can always buy a slave for such things". In the high cities, of course, in an urbanized environment, literacy is far more common than in the countryside, even among the lower castes. It might be mentioned that literacy in a slave girl can improve her price, but it does not always do so. Few men buy a slave for her literacy; her intelligence is another matter. - (Blood Brothers of Gor)
