Everyone’s favorite book was by Faulkner or Woolf or Roth. We were a civilized civilization. This was before the Internet and cable television, and so people had these, like, wholly different desires and attention spans. They just craved, craved, craved the erudition and cultivation of our literary kings and queens. </span><br/><br/><span>Well, that time never existed. Check out these </span><span>stats from Gallup surveys</span><span>. In 1957, not even a quarter of Americans were reading a book or novel. By 2005, that number had shot up to 47 percent. I couldn’t find a more recent number, but I think it’s fair to say that reading probably hasn’t declined to the horrific levels of the 1950s.”</span></p> <p><span><br/></span></p> <p><span>Full Story: <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/12/04/the-next-time-someone-says-the-internet-ruined-literature-show-them-this-chart/255572/" target="_blank">Atlantic</a></span></p></blockquote>http://www.shv.me/post/21145161540http://www.shv.me/post/21145161540Sun, 15 Apr 2012 14:57:29 +0100“The course has met and exceeded my expectations.
