  • For me it depends on their attitude about it. Like, are they chill and just have different hobbies, are they aggressive and insist that reading is a terrible waste of time, or do they simply prefer to read things other than books?

    I grew up with a parents who were constant reading, but my mom almost exclusively used audiobooks and my dad almost exclusively read magazines and newspapers. Mom had a long commute and not much reading time and dad said he wanted to finish whatever he was reading in one sitting.

    People with different hobbies just enjoy different things than me and I always assume that the aggressively non reading people must feel intimidated by people who read a lot. At least, that’s my experience whenever someone basically attacks people who like to read.

    But, different strokes for different folks and all that, lol.
