I am slightly afraid after seeing this. Come on people, let's escape into more books! They free your mind, help reduce stress and, in some people's case, help them sleep without the use of pills!!! Reading is fundamental.

I’ve always loved reading since I was little. I love a good adventure and funny stories, no highbrow literature, but also no chick lit. I’m Dutch, but most of the books I read are English. I often end up with books for 10-12 year olds. Somehow I sometimes get slack from people for reading children’s books, but mostly from people who don’t read at all. Right now I’m reading “The girl who drank the moon”, by Kelly Barnhill. Wonderful magical story.

Tribe by Sebastian Junger was a good read this Summer. I don't understand why people don't read anymore. It opens up so many ideas. Humans have a unique gift to dream of the future and reading is like rocket fuel for imagination.

Hate your neighbor, especially if they disagree with you, that way it keeps a nice cycle of hate flowing! Forgiveness is for the weak, I only respect people who belittle and say hurtful and harmful things to others! It is the new way of doing things and Jimmy and the president and the media have my back so it can't be wrong. You know cause my mother always taught me, if everyone was jumping off a bridged because it was the cool thing to do, then you better hold your breath and hope you don't hit any rocks on the way down!

Asa kid, it improves your reading and it's something 'safe' parents can leave you with (unlike the internet 😱) but none of the people interviewed are the kids who would be just sitting at home playing video games instead of reading. Today people read constantly online, articles, news, college text books and take all sorts of online courses for free or very cheap, and get far more information about the world. We get info and entertainment all the time, at a greater rate than ever. I used to read all the time as a kid, it was all fiction, because there was no alternative, but as an adult, I have no interest in sitting for hours reading a story that may or may not turn out to be any good! 😎
