Maybe instead of reading with a goal in mind ie. “I want to be smart, I want to look smart, I want to learn X……” just read for the enjoyment of reading. Get lost in the words and imagery that the book provides. Feel the characters. Don’t think that reading X genre is silly; reading is reading and you learn a lot from reading anything - proper grammar, how to formulate words/phrases in every day life, how to write better, speak better etc.

I’m 47 and will read anything that is a good story. I tend to gravitate towards certain genres but am open to read anything that is well written with a good story/plot/interesting characters.
