sure, it can be work, but tbh I think more people would read, and more widely, if we presented it first and foremost as a pleasure, and encouraged people simply to read "at whim" ... per this excellent book www.ethicsandculture.com/blog/2019/th...

I know people who either moved back to where they came from or nearly did within weeks because they literally could not handle the psychological stress of leaving home for the first time.

I feel like the actual basis of stories like this is that moving is way harder than most people make it out to be, especially if you never did it much or at all in childhood.

I don’t trust men who only read narrative or self-help nonfiction and I don’t trust anyone who only reads novels. Reading is not a thing that happens to you. Reading is WORK.
