I wish reading was as easy as scrolling to your phone

Small rant lang. I wish reading was as easy as scrolling your phone. For context, my boyfriend and group of friends are not really into the hobby of reading books.

We were talking about the upcoming movie for Dune and Nolan's The Odyssey. They were making remarks that this is the kind of literature they would rather have studied while we were in school and while I do agree that these are good books and the current adaptations are engaging, I can't help but feel saddened that other works that don't or didn't translate well to the big screens get so little love. I wish people would appreciate classic titles and understand why they are regarded globally such as writers like Shakespeare, Hemingway, Poe, Dante, Dostoevsky, Twain, Dickens etc.
