Tomorrow is World Book Day so I thought I'd start a discussion on books.
Do you think people read less now than before? How many books do you read in a year?
I'm still undecided over whether to read the new Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy book. In a way it feels wrong that it's a HHGTTG book without Adams writing it, but I also want to see how well it fits.
I must admit that I don't read half as much as I did, it's very hard to sit down with a book when you have kids. I guess I read stuff on the internet more at the moment but I'd love the chance to get back in to reading properly. I'm a member of Amazon Vine, which lets you test out specific products each month and there are loads of books from new and old authors on there, so it's a good way of getting me to read something. Sometimes it's a pleasant surprise and at other times it's a slog to get through a book.

I've never been much of a book reader and the only ones I read these days are the books I read to my daughter.
My wife somewhat converted me to books when I was commutting to Glasgow so I'd say it is at least 5 years since I've read a book.
In terms of people reading less, I can't comment for sure but all the people I know that read books still do.
