I know several people who are my age or older who have basically only read Harry Potter.

biden-pain I know "read another book" is super cliche at this point, but damn what else can you say to those people

I've posted this before, but it still horrifies me. I know a couple who quit Harry Potter when Rowling publicly went full TERF. Now they exclusively read . . . Harry Potter fan-fiction.

I literally talked to this friend a few months ago about reading and he just said he was thinking of reading Harry Potter again. dean-frown

I feel like shonen manga or superhero comics or just not reading anything would all be a step up from that
