This Writer Tries To Roast Millenials For Not Reading Books, Gets Destroyed With Statistics

I'm 14 and I read all of the time! Extra time during lunch? Go to the library and find a new book. Before bed? Read that new book. Ran out of books to read? Reread a Harry Potter book for the millionth time!

16 and i've read 4 books this year

I've been running out of room on my book shelf lately...

I read one and a half full books yesterday. The half was the last of another in the series. They’re not lengthy books; 25-30 chapter average with 6-10 pages per chapter. But, ya know, I read all the time. A lot is digital, but it’s still reading. You can just carry more books at a time!!

Just turned 14 and I read over 50 books a year... So yeah, people are totally reading less and less as time goes on.

"wat bok" hahahahhahahhaaaaha

14, almost 15, been reading since I was four. I own at least 297 books (that was just the last time I checked) I can't enter a library or bookstore without leaving with at least 5. At my public library I've read every book in the children's section, almost every one in the YA section and several adult novels as well. I am also currently in the process of writing my own book that I one day hope to get published. But no, I don't understand what a "book" is.

we all know the real answer is "owning your own home"

I am 13 and I read a lot... ive read minimum 50 books in this past year. For me books are life.

I'm a young adult, and I read a lot of books. Though most of the reading happens when I should be sleeping. But my sister said that when she was in middle school, her classmates were actually surprised anyone would want to read for fun. Among my peers, though, I know many avid readers.

I'm 26 and I read all the time I have hundreds of books on my kindle and physical books at home. Having the kindle made it easier to read anywhere.

Maybe the person meant a physical book since most people read digital books now.

The charts dont say what kind of book it involves and in what context (pleasure or educational, and yes books read for pleasure can be educating). A lot of 18-29 are under some sort of education, that could bring up statistics. I dont know, but i am pretty sure books (in any format) will be read a lot now and in the future by all generations.

Anne Fishmouth? She's not even on the level with bp to post her garbage thinking. ;)

I'm the mother of three very nice, well mannered and hard working millennial young men and I'm so sick of the millennial stereotyping. It's annoying to sterotype any group but I feel millennials get really trashed.

33 here. Currently reading the witcher book series. I played the video games and it's turning into a show soon so I wanted to read the books.

I think it's not so much about who reads, but about what format. I find that younger people use tablets or some other form of electronics. us older folk like to actually hold a book. used book stores are becoming a thing of the past. shame.
