As in reading for pleasure?

View on HN

Mostly writing emails and being shocked no one read them.

I’m now a two bullet point max kind of emailer.

Same here.

Now if I need to ask someone about something over email I only include a single question per email

Because you can be sure that only one will get answered and the rest are just ignored.

And, it will be the easiest to answer / least significant one.

Presumably - I have often wondered how much more we all read and write now compared to people 50yr ago (even if a lot of it is in Slack / email / SMS etc.) It does appear that reading books for pleasure is gradually trending down in the US[1] unfortunately, but in terms of raw words read or written, I would think that we're doing a lot more online than we used to do off...

There's a substantial difference between reading short takes and longer, complex texts.

Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book illustrates this in the multiple levels of reading it describes. Critical and synoptic reading of complex works is a developed skill.
