JA WestenbergI genuinely think the worst thing the internet did to reading was convince people that finishing books is a competitive sport. You don't need to read 52 books a year. You just need to read. Books you like. At your own pace. And think about them for longer than a TikTok video.
A-nom-nom-nom-aly BSC SSCBefore the internet, I used to read at least 1 book every week or two.
At some point in the mid to late 2000's... That slowed to just a few a year.
Then in the mid to late 2010's... I started reading a little more again... at least one book a month on avg.
I still read a lot... but it's articles online now that take up a large chunk of it... I switched to reading books on a tablet sometime around 12-13yrs ago
