On reading (1 of 4): A sad situation.

This summer I was talking with a (Caribbean) acquaintance who was finishing her Ph.D., and I mentioned some book that I had been reading for fun.

"I wish I had time to read for fun," she was like, sighing.

. . .

How sad is that, that people supposedly leading the intellectual life, don't have time to read broadly.
