50 or 100 years ago, people read a hell of a lot more fiction than they do now.
- constantcrying 3y agoI suspect in the past they also read far more nonfiction.
- vundercind 3y agoI wouldn’t bet on it, unless we’re counting user-generated posts online, and clickbait “articles”. Which, maybe we should. [edit] JFC I misread your sense of “read”, I think we agree.
- constantcrying 3y agoUpdated my post. I don't think I encountered that "bug" in the English language before.
- matwood 3y agoTrue for fiction books. But if you think about fiction generally, as the poster said, the medium has changed. People still love fiction, but now it's movies and shows.
