What does your gut tell you about this statement: “Kids in high school read more books for fun than their parents.”

In fact, it’s true. Young adult reading is up 20% since the last time the survey was done by the Feds, and a recent commercial survey finds the same thing.

Of course, these kids aren’t reading the right books, the books we read, the hard books.

This is exactly why the book as physical product of dead tree are being marginalized. No, it is not going to disappear anytime soon. It is just being dwarfed by all other ways of distributing stories and knowledge.
