I agree that the generalisation probably does not work. However, considering a lot of people like fiction in most their other forms, except books, we have to be careful not to overcompensate in the other direction. From the 99% person you know that don't like reading, I'm convinced a significant number would actually love it, if introduced to it properly. Like, I agree that a lot people will never get the runner high from cycling. But the crowd that gets it from hitting the gym should be prime material to convert to cycling. I blame school. I never got any love of sport from PE. I didn't get the love of reading from reading assignments either (), but society is telling me that not loving sport is weird so I tried again, while not loving reading is expected. () Up until the day a teacher just had a list that wasn't just all classic and you were not expected to use the reading as a basis for a disertation on some historical or social quirk, or extract profound philosophical meaning about the human nature. I picked a book with a story I liked, first time ever since childhood.
