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?
I have been a lifelong reader, and most people in my life did not and do not read. It’s just familiar. I’m more surprised when I find readers like me and really enjoy the connection, but it doesn’t phase me one way or the other about the ones who don’t read. When I was young, it was mostly middle-aged women who read popular novels, and they suggested lots of fun things. I seldom met people my age who read, but it was a great connection when I did.
