[Bakary]

The more important distinction is not to treat it as if the activity itself has magical properties that automatically translate into a better life in some form.

Ask yourself what you want to read and what you want to get out of that.

If you read casually but don't actually enjoy the activity beyond the satisfaction that you are reading and that this is a Good Thing, there's no point. If you underline passages and study but nothing really comes out of that study over time, there's no point either assuming it is not an activity you inherently enjoy for its own sake.

That's why just having a vague goal of 'reading more' is a bit of a trap
