Is the Internet killing long-form reading? Are we collectively trading in our novels for Facebook updates and Twitter missives? Not if today’s youth have anything to say about it. According to the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project, youth are more likely to read books—and more of them—than older Americans. The study found that eight of every 10 Americans between the ages of 16 and 29 have read a book in the past year. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but keep in mind only seven of 10 older adults have said they’ve read a book in 2012. Younger readers are more likely to use the local library, too; and while youth definitely utilize e-readers, they’re more of a supplement to how they read than a replacement. (National Public Radio)
