What are the experiences of people who read books who did not read it with intent to relate to the character. Why did you pick the book up?
I primarily read to escape my own life so I don’t want anything I can specifically relate to. I very intentionally seek out books by and about people who are not like me and whose experiences I have never shared. It helps me develop empathy through a broader and deeper view of life.
