What's Normal? - Do you read books on a regular basis? (1 Viewer)

Instagram and TikTok are huge, and that's not reading. The reading social media is too much work

We're a lot closer to Idiocracy than most people believe. It'll be upon us one day and it'll be too late.

Curious as to whether the non-readers ever read (past or present tense as applicable) to their children...

Read to my kids every night

Results of this one made me a little sad

I've always read a ton. As a kid I'd hammer through books, slowed down through college, picked back up again pre-kids. When the kids were around it slowed down unless you count the nightly reading with them. They are out of the out of the house now and with the pandemic it zoomed back up again. I use the Libby app on my Ipad. Its awesome, connected into a couple of free libraries. No more killing trees and cluttering the house. Always have a few books on hold. Much prefer reading to watching TV.

I guess I don't mind being some kind of a weirdo.

My brother doesn't read. I always did. He asked me, when we were kids, why I liked reading. I told him I pictured the book in my head, and I imagined the scenario.

He never pictured a story in his head.
