I’m glad that Nick had at least a few drops of common sense.
I am a bookworm myself and I deem teaching other people to be able to enter the mesmerizing world of books more than fit.

Could you help me correct these sentences so that they sound natural?

As I see it, this case is the embodimenta perfect example of irresponsibility.

I don't think there's a way to use "embodiment" naturally here. It means something has been given a body, and it feels to me like there's a strong preference for it to be a human body or an animate body. "This man is the living embodiment of everything you oppose." A "case" feels too abstract for it to work. I can only suggest an alternative.

I’m glad that Nick had at least a few drops of common sense.

I am a bookworm myself and I deem teaching other people to be able to enter the mesmerizing world of books to be a more than fit occupation.

Slightly guessing at your meaning. Not sure if what you had was wrong, exactly, but this is clearer. This is how you might use "deem" and "more than fit", but it's a very self-important sentence. Not at all conversational.

Something more natural might be "I am a bookworm myself and I consider teaching other people to enjoy the magic of books to be thoroughly worthwhile."

"teaching to be able" is unnatural. Generally, you teach someone to ride a bike. After they have been taught, they will be able to ride a bike. But you don't teach them to be able to ride a bike.

"a few drops of common sense" is very natural!

I am on cloud nine by the mere thought of nurturing the younger generation in order to become a useful part of the social body.


In my opinion, she wishes someone trustworthy helped her unravel the discombobulating cacophony of questions in her head, giving her a silent moment of peace.
