I am an author (8 novels) and I'm amazed at how many adults tell me that they haven't read a book since high school.
It's dismaying to see that our culture is getting to the point that so few people read nowadays.
I think our instant communication culture has become lazy and many people can't focus for longer than 5 minutes, thus the expectations that someone read a full-length novel is too daunting for most people.
How about you? Do you read? If so, what genre of books do you read, and why?
Any other authors out there?
I never go anywhere without having book in my bag. Not an author but dream to be one in the future. I like history because it helps me to understand what i currently see and plan my future.
