Here We Go Again

30 May 2025

“I agree that novels, and other long narratives, have become less culturally central, less influential, than they were fifty or sixty years ago. (And I regret this.) But are they less culturally central than they were a hundred years ago? I’m not sure about that. Two hundred years ago? Hard to say.”

I found the questions Jacobs asks about Krause quote interesting and I don't disagree that maybe books are less relevant today, but I also can't help but disagree with Krause that we're loosing our ability to read and focus. So many people I read on the web or watch on YouTube talk about the books they're reading. My list of books I'm interested in reading grows regularly because I get so many recommendations from folks.
