When asked the reasons why they do not read books, they answer that they do not have time to read or do not get used to reading. Most of them are between 20 and 29. Some of them even think it is no use to read. To earn money is the most important. However, more and more people like reading on the internet. Usually they read the latest news or some novels on the internet. Compared with reading books, it has several advantages. Most of the materials on the internet are free, for example, news. Or the costs are less than buying a book. On the other hand, those materials online are updated on time. Any comments? Which kind is your favorite, reading books or reading on the internet?

Personally, I prefer reading books. Well, I think that we are entering an era dominated with " Fast Food Culture ". The classic literary works have been abandoned by many people.

I prefer books, you can read them anywhere and anytime. Sadly less and less people read now and I think that is for 2 reasons, firstly they are not very literate and not brought up to read well and secondly they cant be bothered to take the time. We live in an instant world where everything needs to be right now, fast food,instant messaging,emails,digital cameras. Nobody wants to slow down and have to think for themselves, so books get ignored.
