Where Are We?

I think of myself as someone who really enjoys the written word. I used to be an avid reader but would not really consider myself much of one anymore. Why is that though? Is it because I am no disciplined enough, because I do not find myself as drawn to books anymore? I do not think has to do with either of those things. I think that reading has just managed to disappear from our culture a bit compared to the way that we used to see it. I wonder if I took a poll and people were really honest if they would be on my same page. Where will reading be in the future? Will we listen to books rather than read them? Will books become plot summaries instead of books or will we continue to lose ourselves and our imaginations to the classic novel? I think reading will always be around but I do wonder if there is going to be a large shift in some of the ways that we do read. There already is a bit of a shift, but it is minor in the grand scheme of things. What does everyone else think?
