I’ve always considered the statement “I do not like to read” as somewhat dubious. In my opinion, there’s always something interesting to read; perhaps that person simply hasn’t found THE book. However, my friend corrected me, emphasizing that it’s not necessarily the case. Some people genuinely do not enjoy reading books in any form or format.
What’s your take on such cases? Do you believe it’s a matter of finding the right book, or is it indeed a case of liking or disliking reading altogether?
A good friend is a non-reader. The real reason is dyslexia, which he never acknowledges. His reading and writing skills are about those of a 10 y.o. He was able to eek out a career; now in retirement he is going deaf and his already small world is shrinking further. Don’t judge.
