With the internet, who needs to read books?
Honestly, it doesn't matter what medium text is delivered and consumed. Maybe the reason why people are reading less books is because there is so much choice outside of books. Nowadays I mainly read books for fiction. Non-fiction-wise I can find out almost anything from the internet. In the end, it's the number and quality of words - look at the choice: newspapers, articles, reviews, interviews, poetry, speeches, recipes, journals, manuals, tutorials, code, wikipedia, blogs, urban dictionary, eBay, discussion boards, GFF. I read volumes and volumes of that stuff without ever having to touch a single book. Same could be said of many adults. Also, just because one doesn't finish a book doesn't mean there was no value gained from reading a part of it (at least language-skill wise). Jam it back in, in the dark. |
