The media says that people are reading less and less for pleasure, so I want to know if that is true.

I just bought a book called "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. I only got it last night, so I'm not far into it yet.
I just finished reading "Wuthering Heights" for about the twentieth time. lol.
(Maybe *some* people are reading less and less for pleasure, but not me, that's for sure. I'm a voracious reader.)

The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith.
Originally published in 1952 and rumoured to be the inspiration for Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, it is the story of a young sales clerk, Therese, who become obsessed with an older, sophisticated woman, Carol, who comes into her store to buy a Christmas present. It's considered a lesbian cult classic and is unjustly unrecognized because it's a great read.

I'm reading O. Henry-Complete and Unabridged: The Fiction. I'm on the first story collection called Cabbages and Kings.
If people are reading less and less for pleasure, you can't tell it by my family!

I'm studying at the moment, although it is still reading...
Before I started studying, I finished a quite funny Louise Rennison book, after reading Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger

"The Cure of Souls" by Phil Rickman, 4th in his Merrily Watkins series. I read a lot and work in a library so I can get all the books I want. I think older people read more than younger, who are more into electronics.
