Is it normal to not like reading?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s completely normal not to enjoy reading. People like different ways of learning and relaxing, and reading isn’t a measure of how smart or curious you are.

Some people love getting lost in a book; others would rather watch a show, listen to a podcast, or do something hands-on. You might also dislike the kinds of books you’ve been expected to read, or find reading tiring rather than relaxing.

There’s no prize for enjoying books, and not liking them doesn’t say anything bad about you. If you ever want to give it another try, audiobooks, comics, or topics you actually care about may feel different—but you don’t have to.
