Who Reads Books Anymore?

By Will Pass

Who Reads Books Anymore? is a curiosity-driven exploration of modern reading habits and the stories that shape our culture. By interviewing readers and non-readers alike, we bridge the gap between books and everyday life.

Will is a friend from college who asks people--real people!--what they've been reading lately. Sometimes the answer is nothing. Other times people are reading SO MUCH. It's beautiful, refreshing, and highly entertaining. I think you'll enjoy it, too.
