Rainbow Dash,
In my limited experience with you, there's one thing I thought I pegged about you: you seemed willing to try anything, or at least do anything, especially on a dare. You always sought ways to challenge yourself, be it an extreme via physical restraint or time constraint. You looked for difficulty in places no one else would, and pushing yourself beyond your limits seemed standard fare assuming the rainbooms I've been hearing, seeing, and clinging onto my nailed-to-the-floor chair for dear life to keep myself upright were any clear indicators.
Which makes this lesson you learned all the more... baffling. Of all the things you could have refused, of all the challenges turned down... reading, Rainbow? Really?
I get it, reading can be boring or just plain infuriating sometimes. I could tell you of the countless words written I've seen over my rule and how incredibly soul-sucking they are when they amount to some ridiculous notion of a "poor tax" or a "fast lane for elite members" in the biggest stack of fecal bricks that I call "the dumb law pile." Really, it's like these folk are just trying their hardest to be king of the hill, and they forget who's sitting at the top shaking their head in disgust.
But reading is mandatory for your job. How did you function as a head of the local weather team? I know for a fact scheduled weather reports are faxed to the Mayor, so is that the only piece of literature you read besides textbooks in school?
If so, I feel terrible for you. Being exposed to nothing but, as you might put it, "boring egghead books" would certainly skew your opinion on them as a whole. But I am quite pleased you discovered that not all books need be educational, and that many can be read for pure enjoyment.
If my student hasn't already suggested it, I'd say the Daring Do series is right up your alley. I'm currently on "Daring Do and the Tower of Power," and let me just say that she knows how to kick some serious flank in this one, even with a bandaged eye. She even got a chokehold on one and--oh dear, I'm spoiling the fun. You'll get to that one eventually.
Anyway, enjoy the wonderful world of books, Rainbow. But before I close this out, a word of advice: steer clear of the stuffy romance novels. Those authors will ship anything these days.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia
Ah, there you are, Luna. Care to join me for a story?
The Daring Do series. It came out a few years ago so... well, it's really enjoyable. Want to listen?
Well, get on the bed then! I'll just start from the beginning.

Dat sisterly moment at the end.
5701102
Fun fact: In writing this letter, I couldn't really think of any funny bits at the end of this.
Then I realized that it didn't need to be a funny moment.
It just needed to be a moment.
"They will ship anything these days."
It is sooo true!
Aww, that was a nice moment at the end.

I love the funny moments at the end, but the spontaneous sisterly one made it even better.

dawwwww.
5701158 I've seen shipping of Shadow the Hedgehog X Bathtub...
Celestia's got a point, Dashie! My friend and I are writing a fic shipping Celestia and Morgan Freeman

"Yeah haha, right," we say as Dash is shipped with a kitchen sink.

Celestia is becoming more helpful and wise than she is in the actual show...which leads me to wonder what the wedding will be like
We ship because we care!
5701401
Bwahahaha
With the way it is at the moment, we don't just have ships at our disposal.
We have an armada.
5703844
You know, I read that and the Halo theme started blasting in my head as I visualized a technicolor armada dropping out of hyperspace. There are no words that could accurately describe how epic that was.
5704637 When I read that, I imagined the fleet that killed Reach with each ship a different colour, and the arbiter piloting the capital ship with his armour glowing all the colours of the rainbow, with the original halo theme playing in my head also.
I think I know how you feel.
I wonder if I should write a ponyxtoaster fic... This one line is so tempting.
Oh, no one's showed this yet? This is one of my favorite images from this fandom....

Anyway, what I like about that bit at the end is that Celestia is the one who initiated it. It wasn't, 'big sis will you read me a story?' it was, 'oh there you are little sis I WANT to read you a story'.
Celestia deliberately went to seek her sister out, and little details like that mean that world.
5706197 there is a raibowdashXkitchensink story somewhere...I am NOT joking

Ace, pretty sure you're thinking of ...But the Kitchen Sink by Dubs Rewatcher. Or in a similar vein, Twilight Ships Rainbow Dash With Everything In The Universe by Cloud Hop, which is frickin' hilarious, too.
I know it was a normal moment at the end, but I read the word listen with navi's voice.

Give me a link to that. My morbid curiosity is gonna smack me till I see it.

And Rainbow Dash and Kitchen Sink lived happily ever after...
And then Daring Do was real.
5723901 ...I have no words. That song spoke for itself.
No Reading Rainbow reference?

Hmm... I could have sworn that was in here somewhere...
inorite
Take a look, it's in a book.

I'm so sorry.
Yes, yes they will. And there is NOTHING to stop them.
Unless they have some law about gossip and/or rumors of any highly accounted people of the law/entertainment.
Then yeah. That might stop them.
That sounds like a challenge.
Blueblood x Mane 6 harem, anybody?
Celestia managed to turn off the diction quill spell just in time. Depending on fair use laws, too many words copied from reading Daring Do out loud, sending the copy to Rainbow Dash could have seen her sued!
5997545 Dammit, I wanted to post that!
Did you just. . .?
The real question is "am I just being delusional because I am currently sleep deprived?"
Reading Luna a bedtime story, she HAS been gone a thousand years.
7413912 Take a look, it's in a book...
Reading Rainbow.
Sorry...but when those two words are right next to each other, that little bit always plays in my head.
They ship everything, but if you really want to open up an almost vacant genre of shipping, try a canon-character hetero couple with no obvious kinks, who keep their private lives private... Like Mr. and Mrs. Cake, or Rarity's parents.
That is so incredibly true, and not just for books. It is also true for fandoms. And I'm not just talking about the MLP fandom.

They even ship ships with other ships, and I'm also including steel-hulled actual ships.
