Hi guys

i would like to ask something about the usage of "Don't we all"

for example when someone said "I want to read that book"
is it correct to answer with "Don't we all?"

also could you tell me how/when to use "Don't we all"?

thanks in advance

In response to a remark concerning something we all would like to happen.

" I'd like to win the lottery."
" I'd like a Maserati. "
" I'd like a date with Kim Basinger."

Dreams my friend, dreams.

for example when someone said "I want to read that book"
is it correct to answer with "Don't we all?"----- Not exactly a dream is it!---- NO.
