The typical successful adult human is so broken that they could read 30 pages from the middle of a dictionary and not find the experience fundamentally different from reading whatever it is they're reading to signal to other successful adult humans that they enjoy reading.
If you want your brain to be a burro, the easiest way to do that is to take something long and pointy and give your frontal lobes a few stirs. If you want a vibrant life of the mind, you have to sometimes do things because you actually fucking want to do them. Reading especially.
I began reading fiction recently after over a half-decade hiatus. It legitimately took me about 10 minutes to get past the first page, because I'd lost the art of connecting my imagination to the text, and 'surrendering' to the author rather than auditing the words as I went.
