. People read and it's a fact; they're still taught to do so. What he refers to is the
type of reading they don't do. And I believe he's right. The novel
is on a decline.
Where he's wrong is that this statistical curve may not have to continue the way it has. As an example I submit my own experience that since I have my Reader, I read more than I ever have. This experience is shared by many here and can only point to a resurgence of books as a whole.
