The other day I exited from NYU hospital and stopped in their gift store. I was astounded to see that there wasn't a single book in the shop other than mini-coffee table picture books and reflected on the loss of several generations' ability to read anything other than a cellphone screen. I used to go through at least three books a week. I vacuumed my friends' collections without ever finishing Thomas Mann's THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN or Proust's
I buy the New York Times a couple of times a week
