People who have enough spare capacity to read have probably already gotten all the rest of it under control

Eh. You could say the same thing for exercise, a healthful diet, etc., and those things are still good for fending off depression and so forth. But what I think doesn't jibe with the article is that almost all the people I know who read a lot do have periodic issues with sleep problems, depression, low self-esteem, etc. It's just that those things get worse if they can't read. (I mean if they are prevented by outward circumstances from reading -- obviously a normally voracious reader being unable to read even when they have time means bad shit on the horizon.) Reading is a coping strategy.

I don't think I have a clue what she even means by spiritual resources. But then I never do get what anyone means by expressions like that.
