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; I’ve done a lot of work in warehouses and the like, very physical manual labour, and while there are plenty of different kinds of people who do these jobs, there’s definitely at least one person who is quite proud about not reading at all

    It usually comes up when movie discussions turn into, “Did you read the book at all?” Someone’s bound to be like, “Fuck reading”
