Young guys fall into it when they're lonely, don't know how to talk to girls, and don't have any better role models. There's an element of "You need to grow up and do the hard thing" to it.

I'm glad you got some sleep! I can't believe it's Friday. It's so unfair how fast time passes when you're not working. Although, I'm having this irritating issue where my student ID is expiring today even though I'm enrolled for fall, so I do have something to do today. I picked up a literary criticism book on Caliban, a character in The Tempest, and I need to fix my ID to be able to renew it.

To be clear, I'm not assuming he's reading it in Russian. It's just that the famous ones that are published in English are very wordy. Long sentences, and the development of the ideas is long, complex, and not laid out straight like a typical hollywood story or simpler novel. They need to be thought about and discussed. Russian naming conventions also often confuse English readers, because they use multiple different names to refer to the same character.

It's because they are pandemic kids. Schools refused to adapt to the fact that the kids basically lost 2 years of education. Instead of giving the 5th graders 3rd grade materials, they just let the kids who lacked foundation fall further and further behind. It impacted every grade level, but the ones who were younger were the worst impacted. Research shows if you're behind on reading in 3rd grade, you'll probably be behind for the rest of your time in school.
