    Doubt it. Reading is not encouraged enough. Saying “books are wonderful” is not enough. Just like how “spending hours looking at funny videos is wonderful” doesn’t sound good. People have to experience it.

    Books are often seen as “that thing smart people do” by the common folk. While that is true, trapping meaningful activities, such as reading books, behind an elitist glass is not doing anyone any favors.
