They Can Read, but They Don't Enjoy Reading

And as a result - they don't read much. They watch TV, or their Phones, instead - and these are much more interesting, in fact, entertaining - because they are designed that way.

I am reading Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right that tries to understand the new movements that are affecting the American Mind.

I downloaded it to my Fire Tablet, where I can read it easily, even easier than on the printed page.

A strange thing is going on in our time. More books are being published (on paper, and online) but fewer people are reading them. Text cannot compete with moving images.
