yeah, your right!. now a days people prefer watching movies to reading books, because its easier!. its a shame though, because a movie can't give you the detail a book does when you read it!. most kids will read the "fad" book, like twilight, and say its the best book they ever read!. but the reason of rthat is because they don't bother reading actual good books!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would say so!.

The types of books that are coming out reflect it!. In order for a kid to read something "really good" it would have to be soemthing like Harry Potter or Twilight!. Besides those, a lot of kids won't read or if they want more, they try and find books like either one of those!. I've seen a lot of questions like that on here!.

Not that Harry Potter and Twilight and such are bad!. But!.!.!. there are better ones, and kids just don't want to take the time to try a classic!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think so!. I mean years ago the only thing to do when you were alone was read!. Now we have phones, cell phones, TV, DVDs, computers, ipods!.

But smart people read anyways!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love to read, and I'm a teenager!. I actually prefer books to TV!. But I think most young people today are the opposite!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In my opinion, absolutely!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
