Homeschool activist Kevin Swanson laments that bookstore sales have plummeted since 2007 and that people aren’t reading anymore. That does not necessarily follow. Why should I blow twenty plus dollars on a book when I can get it for around $5 often within six months of its release at Ollies? Furthermore, for better or worse, many now acquire their reading material electronically. Many might not find that ideal or preferable, but one can’t issue a blanket condemnation about people not reading. Maybe some that use to read like fanatics as youths, as they grow older that no matter how much they read, they really aren’t getting anything out of it in terms of position, status, or increased bank account no matter how much effort they expend.
