I love reading but I grew up before smart phones. I'm not sure reading and smart phone brain go together.

    The porn addicts on TikTok would disagree. Porn books are insanely popular and many people seem to only read those.

    I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss all romance/romantic as porn. Some of them are well written with a touch of the forbidden for an elevated experience.

    Not saying there aren't bad pornographic books but dismissing a whole genre for some puritanical reason also seems ill fitted.
