World - / Jul 31, 2026 - Quote by Bertrand Russell: 'There are two motives for reading a book; one, that you enjoy it...' Reading serves a dual purpose: it offers personal satisfaction while also catering to the desire for intellectual recognition among peers. This blend of motivations can drive individuals to choose books based on public perception rather than genuine interest. Psychological theories identify this as the contrast between intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. In our digital age, online platforms enhance this performative nature of reading.2 hours ago
