The Last Readers

We live in an age of more books than ever and fewer readers than ever.

Every week, thousands of titles are released into the world. Authors pour years of thought, experience, and feeling into pages that are then left largely unread. Not because people have stopped thinking. Not because stories have stopped mattering. But because the scroll has replaced the page.

The mobile phone is always closer. Ne Read more of this blog post »
