"How can reading be a hobby!"

In a public place, among the seated men and women, I am the only one with a book in my hands, reading. The woman next to me asks me if I am a teacher. "I used to teach," I reply. She nods. "So this is coursework?" I laugh. "No, it's my hobby." She looks at me incredulously and goes back to watching reels on her phone. 😂 #reading #passions #hobby #books #bookoholic
