Reading
One book under 250 pages. Twenty pages tonight.
What it is
Reading as a hobby means books you chose — library stacks, Libby holds, a BookTok rec you actually finish — not Slack, not news, not a tab you feel behind on. It is a practiced slot in the week, usually in a chair.
Why people stay
Twenty pages is a complete session. A book under 250 pages is a complete project. People stay when the next book is already waiting and the phone is in another room, not when they “become a reader” as a personality.
Try this week
The first try

We'd interview a person who finishes books on purpose — library, Libby, or a stack by the chair.
