Reading holds great significance, especially during your school years, but as you grow older, the motivation to read often needs to come from within. Every adult sources their reading material differently. Some individuals proudly abstain from reading books, but in my experience, the majority of adults who don't read confess it with a hint of unease and embarrassment. Others encounter snippets of reading in their daily lives, whether from billboards or bathroom graffiti. Not to pass judgment, but this represents the most basic level of adult readership. I understand this because I've been part of that group myself. I've met adults who are still engrossed in Harry Potter fanfiction on platforms like Archives of Our Own, and to them, I say, it's better than nothing! If you're reading this, you likely belong to a more internet-savvy reading community. You read articles (at least the three free ones you get each month), and you engage with memes. These memes are tailored for readers like you.
