Don’t be a snob about reading. The best reason to read anything is because of the joy it brings. Books were made to shock and enchant and delight. They’re just about the only magic we have left in a world that is starved for wonder.

We tend to assume that boredom is something to be avoided, but in centuries past you would go wandering through the woods or stare at the walls of a cave for an hour and accidentally invent beer or a new religion or write Alice in Wonderland.

There’s a common thread linking the decline in humanities majors, Hollywood paying its writers pennies and the tech world wanting all writers and painters to be replaced by machines. We’ve entirely forgotten how essential the arts and literature are to a healthy society.
