Why don't people read books anymore?

Question

Buncha short attention span having dummbells. Why won't you pick up a book and improve yourself instead of killing your time with the internet?

Answer 1

If you stick a paperback in your back pocket, just standing in lines and otherwise waiting (not to mention the commode) you can easily read 2 hours a day.

Ever hear of Amazon? Somebody is buying those books.

I suppose you noticed that you asked the question on the net? Just killing time I suppose....

Answer 2

#1 --- I read a book yesterday, a whole one. I read several novels a week. I'm very well read.

#2 --- Who the hell died and left you on earth to pass judgement on others? How dare you say I need to "improve myself". Just because I enjoy the internet and enjoy Yahoo Answers?

#3 --- You're probably a virgin.

Answer 3

Lots of people read books.
