People who genuinely like reading are a dying breed. Of course most of us will read a great deal on a daily basis – whether we’re reading the sell-by date on our milk carton or the news via a website. However fewer of us than ever before it seems, are likely to just sit down with a good book and read through it. Rather, we tend to assume that reading will be ‘boring’ or that we don’t have time or enough energy, and so we watch TV instead.
