Is Reading Part of Character Formation?

Reading is part of character formation and sometimes you need to learn lessons that you're not already desirous of learning. The kind of pleasure we derive from reading isn't always easy or enjoyable, but it's just like going to the gym for the first time in a while. And so, yeah, you sometimes just got to slog through it, put in your 10,000 hours and hopefully it doesn't take you 10,000 years to read Beowel.
