Why People No Longer Read Books | Between the Lines with Palki Sharma
Gone are the days when people sought refuge in libraries, engaging in the age-old pastime of reading books. Now, our noses are assaulted by the sterile aroma of freshly manufactured gadgets, emitting a dull blue light that promises everything and delivers, well, mostly cat videos.
As social media consumes most of our days, books have taken a backseat across the globe with many not even reading a single book in a year. So is reading dead? Palki Sharma tells you on Between the Lines.

I would like to get a content from you on the trend of Indians choosing non-IT job oriented studies. We know even if students choose electronics or mechanical still work on IT. But the data that you present should show the overall trend with Indians choosing the stream of work. This will give us a view to us where Indians will be and how many markets can Indians penetrate into out of IT itself. I know you can add versatile sides to this ask and present even more good informative content. 🙂✌

I LOVE BOOKS . BOOKS ARE THE SOUL OF LIFE The FATTER the fiction/ non fiction book ,the more i love to read it .I have once walked out of a bad movie in the interval and sat and finished a wheel of time series book in the lobby :) . My mother is the one who used to give me books instead of toys to play with a) Retail stores price books ridiculously high so pricing is an issue .Libraries r needed b)Schools& parents & ADHD in folks have contributed to this situation

@@achillesglacia7700I somewhat disagree, not completely though. As someone who knows 6 languages, including how to read them at least, a few I can write also, it is not just about expressing oneself. The words can fire one's imagination in ways that is sometimes difficult or different than learning something visually. Giving a small example here. Read a book and then watch a movie. Seldom the movie lives upto your imagination. Also words, when read, can mean something else entirely to one person than it would to another when not expressed vocally/without emotion. We interpret the emotions and meaning for ourselves. This by no means discredits visual learning. Both have their pros and cons.

There’s something truly magical about the feel of a physical book in your hands, the sensation of turning each pages as you immerse yourself in a different world. It’s been an interesting experience and I am absolutely activated by the power of literature. Reading has become a cherished part of my life and I look forward to exploring more literary adventures. It has become more than a past time, it’s source of joy and inspiration that has enriched my life.

Ms Palki Sharma. Spot on. One need to only try the first chapter in Chandler's The Big sleep to enjoy reading - no content in scical media can ever hold a candle to it. Especially when you touch, smell an old book with artists who are born to write....could not a resist a sample of it ......"The main hallway of the Sternwood place was two stories high. Over the entrance doors, which would have let in a troop of Indian elephants, there was a broad stained-glass panel showing a knight in dark armor rescuing a lady who was tied to a tree and didn’t have any clothes on but some very long and convenient hair. The knight had pushed the vizor of his helmet back to be sociable, and he was fiddling with the knots on the ropes that tied the lady to the tree and not getting anywhere. I stood there and thought that if I lived in the house, I would sooner or later have to climb up there and help him. He didn’t seem to be really trying.” ― Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep

Books are the best friends that a person can have. A good book can transform the trajectory of a person in a whole new direction. As Mark Twain rightly said, "One who does not read good books has no advantage over a person who can't". Currently, I am reading the Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz

All we need is a good old book. So true! I am currently reading Mailbu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid. This beautiful book is about family and it shows you how family can be the people that love you more than anything else in the world but also the ones that cause you the most amount of heartbreak. The fact that the entire storyline of this book takes place throughout one single night but you're still able to dive in and know so much about every individual character is a reading experience of its own.

As an English teacher, I strongly recommend that young and inexperienced readers begin with short graded readers such as the Oxford Bookworm Series. These graded readers are intended for second language students and contain many pictures to accompany the texts. The readers are arranged in 6 levels (according to level of difficulty in vocabulary and grammatical structures). I have used them for many years in the Middle East with teenagers and young adults. The students I taught in Riyadh loved them and became very avid readers, gradually building their own home libraries. Many of these stories retell famous English classics and modern stories in language accessible to beginner and intermediate level students. Later, the students can progress to the stories in their original form.

Palki, I’m an avid reader till date. I have a daily reading routine integrated into my life style. I get your point on reading books, but there is one step above to this point. I.e is Learning and enriching our lifestyle and books did that job for so many years. Today for me the learning is thru KZfaq video, audible or a kindle book. Once I understand and finish it, later I decide to buy a hard copy or not. Today the trend is finding combinations of way to first learn about that subject or topic or story and later figure out the best way to further it. So there is paradigm shift in the way we learn and know. 8:17
