But you may be slightly sad that a newer generation, growing with shelves full of books right in front of their eyes, is never seen picking up and leafing through a single one of them. They were into some children's books on their way to being teenagers, but now they read and watch videos on their phones, and only read on paper for school.

Mostly over it.
