the“quality of the stories”but because they make people look“more fashionable and smart'”.
And when reading becomes a competition-so many users show off that they've read more

Using books to show off on social media isn't new.But what's new is that social media
openly supports the idea of books as "an accessory,not an art".This trend brings a risk:
Publishers may put most of their effort into books that "look good on social media".
But there's one clear fact:When books get popular online,more books are sold.In 2023,
669 million physical books were sold-the highest number ever.Also,more people visited

Demopoulos said one of life's“simplest joys”is still“getting lost in a story”and

time you see someone with a book in a coffee shop or park,leave them alone.Because "this
has nothing to do with you”-they're just“enjoying the moment'”.
