you are not going to believe what they did with Books
"A wall of text" baby that's a curb at best
the other day I read a compelling point that many instances described as illiteracy would actually be more aptly described as aliteracy, meaning an individual has the ability to read but simply chooses not to. great example here, awesome work.

Reader Questionnaire*:･ﾟ✧
Hey! I've been reading for pleasure my whole life (when I was a kid I was convinced everyone read fiction books before bed because it was what we did at home 😄). Lately, I've been preoccupied with ubiquitous news reports on how reading comprehension skills persistently deteriorate, especially among the younger generations. So it got me wondering how people who do read for pleasure manage to keep the habit of reading alive "in this economy" 👀
Do you mostly read fiction or non-fiction?
Is reading for pleasure part of your daily routine? If so, how much time a day do you spend on reading?
Do you often binge books?
Describe your average reading session 😁(Do you have a special spot where you get comfortable/is it a hard copy or an e-book/is it day or night etc.)
Do you have a schedule or do you read when you feel like reading?
Have you ever struggled with reading (e.g. issues with concentration/retaining information, learning disabilities etc.) and how did you manage to overcome it?
Can you read multiple books at once?
If you're multilingual, do you intentionally choose to regularly read books in your target language(s) to maintain language proficiency? Is it a habit too, or is it a matter of the book's original language?
How do you usually choose books for your to-read list?
Do you keep track of the books you've read/plan to read?
Do you consider reading manga/comics "reading"?
Do you often find yourself in a reading slump? How long did your ultimate slump take?
If you're an avid reader, please, share your thoughts :3 Reading seems like such a basic thing, but i'm sure everyone goes about it in their own way.
Wanted to do this because I saw it and felt like it!
1. Do you mostly read fiction or non-fiction?
I'd say about 70% fiction and 30% non-fiction, although I read very little non-fiction last year so I'm trying to read more this year. The objective this year is a ration of 2:1 f:nf.
2. Is reading for pleasure part of your daily routine? If so, how much time a day do you spend on reading?
I try to read a bit daily, but sometimes I don't. It depends day to day. If I'm going to work I'll usually read on the bus home for about 20 minutes. I try to read a bit before I sleep every night, it's better than going straight from a screen to trying to sleep. On some days I'll read a lot more, like if I'm off work and don't have anything else to do.
3. Do you often binge books? Describe your average reading session 😁(Do you have a special spot where you get comfortable/is it a hard copy or an e-book/is it day or night etc.)
I try not to binge them anymore, but occasionally I do if the book has me engrossed. My average reading session is just... reading. I only read print books, I don't own an ebook reader of any kind and I don't like audiobooks. If I specifically want to lock in and read I will go downstairs in the living room and sit on the sofa, which also helps in summer when it's very hot upstairs and cooler downstairs. I might have a drink or a snacky-snack, but not often. I require complete silence unless I'm reading in public, then I listen to instrumental music to block out noises.
4. Do you have a schedule or do you read when you feel like reading?
Whenever I feel like it. I don't want it to be a chore, except for this year's long read, Les Miserables. I read seven chapters of that every Sunday.
5. Have you ever struggled with reading (e.g. issues with concentration/retaining information, learning disabilities etc.) and how did you manage to overcome it?
Not really. I have had to train my attention span back into something resembling usefulness, but I've never had any issues with the actual action of reading.
6. Can you read multiple books at once?
Yes, if I so choose. When I was a child I'd have three or four on the go, all kept under my pillow. Nowadays it's usually my main book and a side read, usually a book from childhood I'm rereading. I also haven't DNF'ed a couple of books I've put to the side for the moment (Crime and Punishment and The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine) because I was struggling.
7. If you're multilingual, do you intentionally choose to regularly read books in your target language(s) to maintain language proficiency? Is it a habit too, or is it a matter of the book's original language?
Tbh I should be reading more books in Italian. I just don't own that many that aren't about, like, the Italian Resistance. I'll probably get some when I go back to Florence next month.
8. How do you usually choose books for your to-read list?
Vibes. Sometimes I'll put a friend recommended book on there if I really like the sound of it, but often it's just something I've seen online and think "oh, that sounds neat". I do not follow most Booktokstagram rec lists since they turn out to be garbage. I also just pick up random shit in secondhand bookshops that pique my interest.
9. Do you keep track of the books you've read/plan to read?
Yes. I have two lists in my phone notes app, one for fiction and one for non-fiction, and if I find one out in the wild I cross it off and add it to my tbr. Otherwise I use Storygraph and Goodread and also have a physical reading journal.
10. Do you consider reading manga/comics "reading"?
I do, but I don't consider single volumes of a manga to be "a book", you have to read the whole series for it to count (so Witch Hat Atelier #1 isn't a book, but the entirety of the concluded series is). If it hasn't concluded yet you are still reading it, and have only read it in the past tense when it is finished. With comics it's a bit different: obviously a standalone graphic novel is its own book, but I think for long-running comics it's various runs or single stories (however they are collected in a volume with concrete beginning and end, e.g. Under the Red Hood or The Long Hallowe'en for Batman). It's still reading.
11. Do you often find yourself in a reading slump? How long did your ultimate slump take?
I was in a big reading slump from about 2016 to 2023. I was reading and writing a lot of fanfiction, I was at uni (and anyone can tell you that absolutely kills any wish to read recreationally stone dead) and my mum passed away so for a couple of years I barely did anything at all. I have no doubt that once I find a new fandom to hyperfixate on my reading numbers will take a hit, but until then it's fine.
I tag: everyone.
Welp, I wanted to do it too, so I'm taking this opportunity offered by @materassassino
1. Do you mostly read fiction or non-fiction?
In general I'm more attracted to non-fiction, although in the last 2 years I've come back to reading fiction more
2. Is reading for pleasure part of your daily routine? If so, how much time a day do you spend on reading?
Lately yes, I normally read at least some pages of at least one the many books I read simultaneously (I can't help to start a book if it sparks my curiosity - lately I'm getting a lot better at actually finishing them though). For years of my adult life (i.e. after Uni) I regressed to 1 or 2 (sci-fi) books read during summer
3. Do you often binge books? Describe your average reading session 😁(Do you have a special spot where you get comfortable/is it a hard copy or an e-book/is it day or night etc.)
Only if it's really captivating and the structure is in crescendo (small chapters and/or cliff hanger-ly)
4. Do you have a schedule or do you read when you feel like reading?
Whenever I feel like it, wherever I want or need (even at workplace - only downtime, bathroom, bed, while nursing, etc). But my favourite place is either on the hammock in my late grandparents villino or inside a pool
5. Have you ever struggled with reading (e.g. issues with concentration/retaining information, learning disabilities etc.) and how did you manage to overcome it?
Only if extremely fatigued and/or distracted
6. Can you read multiple books at once?
I can OLNY read multiple books at once. It's extremely rare that I only read one without starting one or two in the meantime
7. If you're multilingual, do you intentionally choose to regularly read books in your target language(s) to maintain language proficiency? Is it a habit too, or is it a matter of the book's original language?
There was a time I mostly read only in English, but lately I'm reading almost exclusively in Italian (my L1). Occasionally I read a couple of books in French (when in highschool or Uni). I always try to read books in my target languages (other than Eng) but I'm not fluent enough to get very far
8.How do you usually choose books for your to-read list?
Friends, family, Goodreads, other citing books, newsletters, even Tumblr sometimes
9. Do you keep track of the books you've read/plan to read?
In the last 2 years I started using Goodreads to keep track of them, and now I'm also using Bookito and Bookmark to testing them and hopefully migrate to a non-Bezos-owned site. I used to use Storygraph too and I might reinstall it, but there weren't many books in Italian and I got bored adding them
10. Do you consider reading manga/comics "reading"?
Yes, but like above, a single volume is not a book, but an entire ark within a manga/comic may be
11.Do you often find yourself in a reading slump? How long did your ultimate slump take?
I was in a partially major reading slump since 2019 at least, up until 2024 (when I started to read again during maternity leave), and even before when in Uni I mostly only read (tons of) books for exams and after that for public competitions (concorsi pubblici) + a couple of books in summer.
This was fun!
If anybody wants to participate 😘
Rest in Peace, Tony.
I'll always remember your smile.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
