RE: Sci-Fi Novel: The Ultimate Debate - Part 44: Wedding Night
Hi @muratkbesiroglu, for last 20 years novel reading is decreased day by day. So this is good activity to convert people towards novel reading. New generation does not like novel reading because they have no time. They many more activities to relax and enjoy. What do you think @muratkbesiroglu
In Turkey, more young people have become readers in the recent years. Reading requires attention, dedication and time, but, on the other hand, it supports the imagination and creativity.
It is good sign for Turkey.
Is this an actual statistic? I certainly think that reading is a decreasingly popular activity, but I would be interested in seeing where you get this twenty years time frame specifically.
I'm not sure this series really converts people towards novel reading, but rather converts novel reading to a more serialized format. It can make a story more approachable, in my opinion, the same way a movie is less approachable than a series when both are of equivalent lengths. Breaking things up into digestible chunks can allow you to go into greater depth in the long term, which is also why I believe many novels evolve into a series of novels.
It was my observation. I did not get figures from any specific website or place.
