This seems like a really ridiculous excuse to me. It's true that reader's block exists , I've experienced it first hand: I'd start reading a book only to abandon it after a few pages. It's just a matter of finding the right book for the moment. The choice of books to read today is vast. It's really impossible not to know which book to read. Even though I have so many, when I finish one, if I still don't have clear ideas, I go through them to understand which one to read. At worst I'll buy a new one... Reading has never been a habit I didn't get into the habit of reading until I was in my 20s. That is, until I graduated high school and saw reading as an enjoyable pastime. At school, however, it was compulsory and therefore I didn't read.
You need to know how to teach, or rather instil a love for books and reading, not impose it. Educate to read. I approached reading in a perhaps banal way: to escape, as they often say. The Sword of Special Data Shannara , a fantasy novel by Terry Brooks, had taken me into an ancient and imaginary world, full of fantastic creatures and magic, of castles and forests, of mountains and villages. Perhaps this was what triggered my passion for books: reading about topics that had always attracted me. For a while, in fact, I only read fantasy novels, then slowly widening the circle of topics. Today's alternatives to reading Today there are leisure activities that once did not exist. I'll take two of the many, those that in my opinion have led to a decrease in interest in reading: television and the internet. In short, there is always a screen in between.
Television I remember that when I was a child, television didn't broadcast programs 24 hours a day. TV started at 4.30pm, I think. It was kids' TV , with films and cartoons. At a certain point in the evening the programs were interrupted. Good times. There was less rubbish on television, in fact perhaps there wasn't any at all. Has television killed reading? Not really, but he certainly gave her a good beating. Instead of reading a book, you watch 4 idiotic programs on TV . Now, then, with all these pay TVs (Netflix, Prime Video, Infinity, etc.) lovers of the small screen have found their natural environment. Internet And its information overload . The bombardment of information, indeed. With the advent of smartphones it has gotten worse, because now we are truly always connected. Not me, I turn off my smartphone at 8pm in the evening and turn it back on at 8 in the morning. And I don't always take it with me when I go out either.
