do people even read anymore?<\/p>\n
i remember staying up in third grade
\nusing the brightest flashlight in the house
\nflicking on the switch and hiding under the covers
\nand jumping into the world of percy jackson.<\/p>\n
do people even read anymore?<\/p>\n
it’s such a shame that so many people of gen z
\ndon’t read paper books anymore. like, come on!
\nthey’re cradling their kindles and ipads
\nand other are just looking at sparknotes.<\/p>\n
do people even read anymore?<\/p>\n
for real, guys, you’re missing out. i’m gen z, too. i get you,
\nbut seriously, there’s nothing like the feeling of sitting on the couch
\nand enjoying a cup of tea with a real book, be it fiction, nonfiction, whatever.
\njust put your phone away for a minute and try it, please.<\/p>\n
do people even read anymore?<\/p>\n
i’m hoping the answer is yes.
\ni hope that you’re hoping the answer is yes, too.
\ni’m hoping that the answer is actually yes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
