IDK that "reading things for fun" is a bad habit. I mean, what do you consider good habits? What IS worthwhile and fun? Why can't "doing something fun but of no benefit to the world at large" not be worthwhile?

Even as someone who loves moral philosophy and everything that comes along with it, I feel like that's a pretty cynical take on reading for fun.

A very hardline protestant one (back in the day playing chess was considered sinful) and in my opinion an unhealthy view.
