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?

    In my heart of hearts I feel slight disappointment because it’s something I like to bond over; obviously it’s not a feeling that affects my day to day life or more than a mere second of, “Oh, well that’s a shame” lol

    I also feel like they’re missing out. I don’t ever tell this to people because it’s not my business and there’s no better way to really push someone off of anything than to try and convince them why they should

    As others have mentioned, the people who brag about not reading or the only reason they give as to why they don’t is something like, “it’s stupid”? Immediate human ick
