I don't believe that the future of reading for pleasure is dead but there is a large section of our population who do not share a love of reading.
You are exactly right! The leisure time is there. It's how you use it, whether watching TV ; surfing the entertainment webiste on the 'net to get the latest trash on celebrities or.........Reading!!!
