Why? Well, for just two things, either you are so far behind in your science fiction reading that you can't think of a science fiction work from the two-and-half-decades of this millennium (not to mention possibly the three decades immediately preceding that time frame in the previous millennium) that you could recommend to a young reader, which is not great, or you have kept up with the last twenty-five years of science fiction writing and think none of it is worthy of recommendation to the youth of today. In which case, on behalf of every science fiction writer who first started publishing in this century (and all the ones who debuted before then, but have kept on writing): Rude. There's been a lot of fantastic work in the last twenty-five years that stands at least equal to what was written before, that you could recommend to new and/or young readers of the genre. If you can't acknowledge that, this is a you problem.

yea like if you learn to love reading but you can only read books from Current Millenium you’ve been failed even more

see how easy this game is to play and how vapid the results?!

i actually only love reading because i spent decades of my life in a dissociative haze where all interpersonal interaction was fraught and so i took refuge in books and intellectualizing my problems so it’s actually your privilege that you didn’t learn to love reading and i suffered more than you

adults who blame their hatred of reading on high school are like adults who blame their behaviors on the way their parents raised them. those things have an effect but you are in the drivers seat of your life and you need to take responsibility for shaping it.
