> Learning to plow through uninteresting books for the sake of it doesn't sound like a worthwhile use of someone's time. Of course not, but that's just a very specific edge case of "go read books". When I recommend for someone to go read a book, I consider it implied that they should find good, interesting and constructive books to read, not the opposite. I personally think reading is as objectively good for the mind as walking is for the body. Walking is objectively good and healthy for everybody and anybody, bar physical conditions and edge cases. However, you could go walk in weird ways in boring or dangerous and unhealthy places and that's not ideal, but who would purposefully do that? Same goes for reading.
