Over the weekend, more than one person told me that reading is hard and boring.

Not kids. Adults. Capable people who run families and companies. They weren’t bragging, and they weren’t ashamed. They said it the way you’d mention you don’t care for cilantro, a small fact about themselves, nothing to argue about.

It stuck with me, because every one of them also wanted to know things. They had questions about money, health, the news, and the tools they use all day. They wanted the answers. They just didn’t want the part where you sit with a hard text and build the answer yourself, slowly, out of pieces you had to go get.
