Tbf he has a point. Getting to read something you like vs having to for an assignment can be very souring.

Can't be worse than teens reading the fountain head either.

    We don't think teens want to read at all, esp. his addicted demographic.

    Both my kids (13 and 11) aren’t fans of reading, but there are some books they can’t put down (One Piece and Jujutsu Kaizen manga). And honestly, I’m all for it if it gets them excited about reading and not glued to their screens.

    I even read the books once they are done with them. It’s kinda like a little book club. 🤷‍♂️

    My only complaint is that the selection at the library is thin and incomplete.

    JJK actually does require decent reading comprehension. I'm glad that your are letting them read what is essentially a comic book. I even had a hatd time reading JJK. I stopped reading right before the end sinply because they introduced too many characters too quickly and it felt like they expected me to tremendously who was who. One Piece is a much easier read and still deals with deep themes.
