Comment on Ravenclaw Colours by Gwennafran
Honestly, reading one book series is not a Renaissance for book reading. It's basically just a trend to read that one thing. *If* that actually were true, how come all the 20-somethings Today are not avid book readers in general?
Thats total bollocks (no personal offense meant). There is no evidence that all the 20-somethings arent avid book readers.
And not everyone needs to be an avid book reader, normal amount of being reader is totally okay.
Additionally many have changed over to Audiobooks becasue many only find time in their busy time shedules between making the dishes and driving to/from work.
But most of all its a rennaissance for book reading because never in history have had more people access to, the abillity to and actually bought as many books as they do now may they be on paper, electronic or audio.

I'd say normal day to day interaction is plenty evidence... Seriously, I was old enough to witness this whole thing without being a kid. And I was an avid reader at the time.
Yes, young people read Harry Potter. But in general... that's all they read. In order for there to be a renaissance, a lot more people would have to do a lot more reading. Reading one book series is not "A Renaissance for book reading". You'd be much better off arguing that the internet created a Renaissance for reading stuff in general (rather than just books).
