My D is extremely introverted and a voracious reader. She ended up putting recreation reading as an EC since it takes up so many hours of her week. Her description of the activity mentioned reading the oeuvre of numerous authors, and a couple of greatest books lists. It also included numerous books in their native Spanish. I had a thread under College Admissions about whether she should use it as an EC slot and most said no, but I think it was a positive aspect of her app. It kind of got mentioned in one note from an AdCom but about the books read in Spanish.
