Our Crisis of Reading
People in today’s age are consuming more words than ever; the problem is, they’re empty words. Doomscrolling and short-form content have crowded out great literature, and fewer than half of all American adults read a single book in 2022. While the downward trajectory of long form reading may not be as big a crisis as we think in our informational age, reading forms our minds in ways that no other form of media can. Read on the subway. Read on the plane. Read banned books. Read new books. Read old books. Above all, read what interests you.
