Then, when I tried to suggest a book or two that he might like, he backed away in horror.
I have a friend who felt he needed to improve his reading speed and comprehension for work purposes. He was not a reader except for work. He started reading John Grisham novels just to improve his reading speed, etc. He's been retired now for several years. And now he loves reading.

People can change.
