I had a coworker approach me on break and start telling me about a book he was reading and how much he was enjoying it. Towards the end, he mentioned struggling with it and that he wished someone had told him how great reading was earlier. We were both damn near 30, and it was a YA novel. I resisted the asshole urge to roast him because, shit, at least he's trying?

Not only is he trying, he laments not learning better when he was younger. Great self-awareness, and taking ownership today.

Very true. Hopefully, he still enjoys reading today.

And now you get to recommend him all the good stuff he missed!
