    I posit we do more of different types of reading than we used to.

    We read more things online than in traditional books, this often includes reading traditional books in an electronic format.

    I’ve also read that subtitles are incredibly popular now, even for watching shows and movies in your own language. Foreign shows are more popular than ever, as well.

    Reading novels isn’t done as much but I think just the nature of why we read has changed.

      Yeah, I’ve almost completely fallen off narrative reading, but I spend most of every day looking at text. And I’ve typed 25,000 words in a week, just expanding on an idea in private notes, even though I still despise writing things out on paper. I do not suffer any lack of time spent in my own head.
