when 20-30 years ago everyone was reading books easily for fun.
I was actually surprised how many people currently in their 40s or older haven’t read a book since they finished school. It is not obvious, until you ask. People who read books talk about them, but people who don’t read books usually don’t mention that fact.
Yup, I know people among all age categories who basically never read books on their own. One of them was my grandpa (RIP), who once tried to read a long fiction book (I don’t remember which one), managed to read one page a day with significant effort, and quitted shortly after.
