In a world of Instagram stories and TikTok reels, it's a challenge actually to get people to even read. I find that sadly even with my students. And we don't live in a society that encourages or even rewards that. That's why I'm excited when books get popular. It doesn't matter what the book is. Like the Harry Potter series, for example, that showed a whole generation that you can read a thick book. We're so much information at our fingertips. None of it's in our brain. There's a huge difference between us.
