I find it frustrating sometimes when I try to have a conversation with someone about what they have recently read or what they are currently reading, and they say "I don't read."
I mean seriously?
Of course there is no obligation for people to read books, but people have taken the time to write books, they have a right to be read.
Some books have changed my perspective on life. Others have given me light hearted entertainment. Reading itself gives me some emotional relief.
But that's just me. I do tell people they should try reading and suggest books to them, but they reply with "I have no time." That night I see them on Facebook. Whilst I'm on Facebook, and I still manage 2 hours of study and 100 pages a night.
UGH. whatever. Books are amazing, read them or not if you want, it's your choice.
