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 think each of us has a different brain and a different life and issues diagnosed and undiagnosed and life pressures and so on and so forth.

    For instance, my brother did not like to read when he was in school. His teachers asked Mom to send anything he’d read with him to school, so he read comics. Turned out, he is dyslexic.

    Instead of judging others who are not like you, try reading about people who are unlike you, and learn to let others be as they are. There are reasons. Those reasons are none of your business.

    Also, you will never, ever “make” anyone read something just because you want them to, if they dislike reading. All that does is alienate people. I imagine you already know that.
