Why Nobody Reads Books Anymore & Should We Be Reading More?

Aila and I wanted to discuss specifically why we haven't been reading as many books lately and what that could mean about us ... and about books. Now, I think this framing is not the best because "books" as a category is ridiculously broad. Different topics, different authors, different purposes, and differences in quality. Overall, I think that "reading books" should be put in the context of your life, used as a tool to get you where you want to go, and a way to attempt to discover truth as humans. Let us know your thoughts in the comments! How do you approach which books to read and how best to read them?
