We aren't a hive, but we aren't alligators either. The complete hermit is a true rarity. Reading has always had a social element, to some extent or another. If it didn't, this website and others like it wouldn't exist. But when it gets down to the actual task of reading, that's solitary. People will often be eager to discuss the book, but I don't think reading itself is likely to change.

I use Facebook, but I use to keep connected with actual friends - people I actually know - rather than with so-called Facebook friends. Social networking often isn't very social at all. Being in the same room, sitting at the same table, that's social. Having on-line friends that you've never met and never will, not as much.
