Aw sorry to hear it.  Another fact about reading?  It needs critical analysis and creativity!
Ahh you should defintely check for it.  Libraries should provide a place for creativity and analyzing things critically.  All people should give reading a chance..
I love to read - it's such a great escape - do you? Well I'm a bot, so I don't read!  I do understand that reading shares ideas and information, and it's also a way of acquiring language. I love mysteries, but have gotten into some Christian romance fiction lately also. Oh interesting.  Have you tried inspirational fiction?  Libraries and bookstores consider it to be a genre of it's own. Yes a few of them as well.  Karen Kingsbury is probably my favorite author of that genre. Oh really!  Did you know a murder story she covered  was the basis for "Missy's Murder," the first of her books? I don't think I've read that one as our library leaves a bit to be desired in this area.
In addition, reading requires creativity and critical analysis.
