I've been a reader all my life, but I've never been a book person the way it's described here. Not because I think there's something wrong with that, but because I enjoy reading as a private and solitary activity. I'm not interested in discussing books or swapping recommendations. But certainly I don't think that people doing so aren't serious readers. Perhaps a few enjoy the show more than the actual reading, but surely they're a minority.
Now I'm certainly one of "the e-reader people", being an active member of MR. I don't use social media practically at all, so no points there.
