There’s a conversation to be had here about “reading for pleasure” versus “reading to exercise the mind” or however you want to put it; it’s a long conversation that many people more accredited and more well-paid than I am have been having for much longer than I’ve been alive. I’ll say just this — while I do think that it’s important to read books (fiction and non-fiction) that push your boundaries and challenge you as a reader, I do not personally have enough free time to want to invest it in reading things that I am not enjoying.
