Agreed. Why does something that requires some work automatically equate to not being pleasurable? Its work for me to read translated works or older works of fiction, but the knowledge and perspective I gain make them extremely pleasurable.

After all, there are other more, er, adult pursuits a number of us participate in, and putting a little work into those is never looked down on... Clearly this is a generational or someting-ational gap I'll just never get.
