I've read a total of about 15 books in my life. Most of those are from reading in English class. I can't bring myself to read a book not because I can't read but because "wow, that's a lot of words with a lot of pages". Same thing with long articles on the internet.

>>7696316 You've got me all wrong, Canuckbro. Like I said, I CAN read. I just have no interest in it. It doesn't poke my brain. I can't learn anything from books because I'm thinking the whole time, "How many more pages until I'm DONE with this fucking thing?", even if the book is about a subject I like. I'm a kinetic and visual learner, reading a book is just nothing but looking a ink on paper to me. It just doesn't click with me.

In Spanish: 1 In Japanese: 6 In English: around 15 I'm not counting academic books because I usually read only some parts of them. I'd like to read more in Spanish but I was never attracted to it. Thinking back on it that was probably the main reason why I decided to learn other languages.

Books are no superior to any other form of entertainment, nothing is worse than wannabe intellectuals who think spending their free time on a dying medium is somehow better just because they used to get gold stars for it in elementary school.
