I’m a great advocate of reading, and over as many subjects, genres,
historical periods, literary traditions, etc., as a person can fit in. And
I live by it.

Those of younger generations where I work (mostly prosperous, of at least
average health) are sometimes surprised that I take such an interest in
reading so widely. If few of them ever choose to take up any kind of
longer-form text to read (even in digital format) that’s their right, of
course. Am I being old fashioned to think some of them might find life at
least a little richer or rewarding if they tried reading more?
