Reading books is mostly something you do for entertainment, like going to the movies, or eating nice food. There's nothing wrong with that! It's very pleasurable, and occasionally useful. But generally most reading doesn't make you a better person, any more than watching opera or other "high" art does.
- rodrigo 17y agoThats sounds shallow. If I have a great meal or watch a good play in a theather or any other "high" art, and im able to pay atention and find interesting stuff in the work,I engage with the sensitive side and that alone, makes me a better person.
