Man reading from a tablet“Reading is not a pleasure, but a necessity for me. I work in IT, so I have to read a lot in order to keep up-to-date with the latest trends in the field. If I don’t read, it will be detrimental to my career in the long-run.” – Michael


A bored girl reading a book “I always find reading too time-consuming and counterproductive. If I need to learn something, I can always find a good video tutorial.” – Maiko
A woman reading a book in a park“Reading is an integral part of my life. I consider the day incomplete without reading for an hour even on the busiest days. It has also helped me to improve my English because I read a lot of non-fiction in English.” – Sue
