On dating apps I ask what people are reading. If they don’t read it’s a bit of a bummer. Doesn’t have to be nonfiction. Just read stuff.

My parents are both educated readers and encouraged us early, but out of all my siblings only I ended up a reader. So like 1/3 kids in same family.

Some books are not ment for children. They do not belong in elementary schools, some middle school books are poor decisions. This is not that same as cultivating readers that love reading.
