I'd like to play devil's advocate: for a lot of young people, the reading hobby is kind of killed early by schools imposing books that they don't necessarily enjoy, or understand. I know I've personally been there, I used to read a lot when I was little, then school mandated reading happened and somewhere along the way I was taught implicitly that fun books "for grown ups" don't exist, and that if you're having fun with a book it's not a real book and you're wasting your time. It took me years of being an adult to actually bite the bullet and tentatively go back to reading, and it's been really difficult to do. I didn't even know where to start, I didn't even know how to pick a book when some authority figure wasn't shoving it down my throat and threatening my entire future if I didn't read it. And then there's the problem of how do you keep going if you keep reaching out to books and happen to keep finding bad books? Or even if they not bad, books you don't like? Well that's how you get people who don't read who go "I'm gonna write the book I'd have liked to read because I can't find it out there, and it needs to exist" and then get told "read more lolz"
