And petrichor!! The smell of rain! It's the best

I think this is mainly a problem in the US tbh

There is nothing wrong with not wanting kids. No one should have to justify their decision not to have kids.

Pineapple on pizza is amazing 🤩

I have same question as above, about rain: Who hate reading and why?

Sadly I have met a few people in my life who not only do not read but enthusiastically state they've never read a book.....ever, as if that's something to be proud of.

Exactly. I love reading serious things (like a paper about human evolution). But sometimes I am tired and I need an easy read, like Harry Potter. But i know that a lot of people would mock me for that.

I pity people who don't read! Poor lost souls.

I love reading

True... any reading material is food for the mind.

Where did this one come from? Nobody is against reading

YES. READING IS INCREDIBLE.

Reading is the BESTTTTTY

Even Bored Panda comments.

I just don't get why some people get twisted up in a knot about what other people do. How does reading hurt them? Reading is a good thing.

I have hundreds of books. Most of the novels I have are scifi and fantasy, I also have books on art, natural history, design, techology and astronomy. My little library is part of who I am and I couldn't give it up for anybody or any thing.

I absolutely love reading. My dad said when he was a kid he never read. He said he didn’t expect me to love reading as much as I do

One can be more inclined to read or not, but from that to "hate" is a long way...

Reading can take you to worlds you would never be able to visit in reality. Why would anyone hate that?

Bill Hicks: "I'm in Alabama, eating breakfast in a waffle house. I'm reading a book. Waitress says, 'whatcha reading fer?' Hmm, why do I read? I don't know, I guess for a lot of reasons. One of them is so I don't end up being a f***ing waffle waitress."

sorry, I do judge people's intelligence on what they read. When people tell me to read 50 Shades or Twilight type books I judge them b/c they read stupid crap. I read a lot. Those books got recommended to me so many times it was ridiculous mostly by friends who aren't regularly readers. It was like they finally read a book and were so proud of themselves. argh. Those books are like soap operas...poorly written soap operas.

I love reading

How this is on the list of "...Get A Lot Of Hate"???

I have a story to share, but it isn't about reading, rather about writing. I am a Noob webnovel writer, and have two (incomplete) casual stories on my name online. I kind of a hobby + part time thing. I've told my relatives that I write webnovels. Guess what? They think I can write anything. Movie scripts, plays, classic format novels, content writing, you name it. After some time I've realised that people don't usually give shiet if it doesn't concern their lives.

I don’t like reading made up stories. But if you give me an interesting scientific article, or a book of facts I will read it all. Also comic books are great

I get hate for reading in general. Comments like, "You actually read??" and "I can't see how that's enjoyable" are constantly flung towards me. It's so annoying in rude. I like to read. Mind your own business. If you don't like to read, I don't care. Deal with me reading, because I love it.

What's wrong with reading? I have read my whole life, 79 btw.

I work in a bookshop. One time a lady asked for my opinion on a book and I said it's not my kind of book. She said 'what do you like to read?' I said 'science fiction'. She said, to my face, 'oh, science fiction is rubbish'. I was very professional and didn't say what I was thinking.

Reading is underrated!

I write. Does that count, because I have to read it a dozen times before it gets published?
