The Disappearance of Literary Men Should Worry Everyone

• hyghjiyhu 1y ago
  To me the problem with fiction boosters is they claim a lot of benefits to reading, but they rarely back those up with numbers. I'm not saying the numbers don't exist (they probably do) just that I rarely see them mentioned. Like reading books can be a very time consuming hobby, so it would be useful to know how few books you can get away with reading while still getting the majority of the benefits.

    If you’re not doing it for enjoyment, why bother?

      When people claim declining reading is a problem they must surely be referring to something other than just enjoyment, as enjoyment can come from many sources. And it's this other I want quantified.
