When's the last time you settled down with a good book, just because you enjoyed it? A new survey shows reading as a pastime is becoming dramatically less popular in the US, which correlates with an increased consumption of other digital media, like social media and streaming services.

    My friend recently started reading after seeing me read so often. She kept bragging about how fast she can read pages and I was telling her to relax its not a race just enjoy the book. Fastforward a few days and she got like 30pages in and gave up. It was an ok book, thief of time by Terry Pratchett.

    I think for a lot of people reading is so mentally different from what they’re used to that its very hard to do let alone to find pleasure in.
