I think the post specified that the icon was *not* a link. So it seems like alt="" would be proper, and the other issue of repeated "read more" wording should be addressed in the link text itself...

"Read more about blah blah", and if desired, hide the "blah blah" off-screen through css, if it seems unnecessary when the link are viewed *in* context.
