Why people don't read book? THANKS FOR HELPING ME CORRECT IT... Nowadays is common to notice that people don't read books , our culture has lost this phenomenal habit, but why? It's not a secret that everyone is always looking for the minimum effort, anyone wants to think, and we usually don't have "enough time" to read. Now people watch so much TV, and the truth is that we don't use our brain while we are doing it. In my case, when I come back home, and I'm tired after an exhausting day, I'm just looking for relax, so the first thing I do is to turn on the TV. I actually don't feel like reading anything at that time. In my opinion, another reason for why peope don't read books is maybe because books are not actualized, they usually talk about "boring" topics for our actual culture. Actually, people who love reading often use their own computers, you don't need to buy a book to read, you can download any book if you want to. Unfortunately, you can find so many distracting things to do in internet, we don't use that tool correctly, you spend most of your time in networks, and that's actually a waste of time. The people who you are with the most of your time might influenty you, if your friends dislike talking about economy, you'l never do it, though you want to. Now, I'm trying to get used to read english books, just to improve the language. The literature is awesome... TRY IT.. :D
