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?
Their loss. While they may detriment from not reading, it’s just not a mainstream form of entertainment anymore. It’s human nature to take the path of least resistance and if you asked someone “would you rather spend a day watching lord of the rings or spend a week reading it for half the day?” Most are going to opt out for the movies. It doesn’t help that popular books get made into movies long before people even know it’s an amazing book. People read game of thrones and 50 shades of grey because it was mainstream to do it.
