The End of Reading Is Here. “The decline of reading will bring about changes of the same magnitude. It will affect our innermost thoughts, our society’s politics and culture, and how we tell the history of our civilization.”

A few years ago I deleted all of the social media, news, and gaming apps from my phone, and replaced them with an e-reader app. Now I always have a book in my pocket for idle moments, and I've been reading a couple of novels per month. Plus I don't get so much of that post-social-media wasted-time queasiness. It's wonderful, I highly recommend it!
