I’ve always considered the statement “I do not like to read” as somewhat dubious. In my opinion, there’s always something interesting to read; perhaps that person simply hasn’t found THE book. However, my friend corrected me, emphasizing that it’s not necessarily the case. Some people genuinely do not enjoy reading books in any form or format.
What’s your take on such cases? Do you believe it’s a matter of finding the right book, or is it indeed a case of liking or disliking reading altogether?
A “skill” and a “hobby” are not mutually exclusive concepts though. All “hobby” describes is a pursuit someone engages in that they do not do for the sake of monetization, but rather purely self-fulfillment. Playing an instrument, learning a martial art, making pottery, etc. can all be hobbies. They also all require the development of skill through practice.
