Any stories of people who were functionally illiterate and got into literature/reading later in life?
There’s lots of posts and stories lately about the decline of literacy in America and around the world. It’s feeling pretty bleak. But there’s lots of stories on a recent post of people coming back to reading after breaks and rediscovering it and it helping them with attention and other aspects of their lives. Just curious if anyone on here had trouble reading or were illiterate and took the time later in life to learn and how it affected them. Especially younger people who grew up with screens. Very curious there. #entertainment
