‘I am a part of everything that i have read’ Theodore Roosevelt.
I interviewed a book club in Worcester, keen to find out what a group of avid book fanatics thought. Many of the woman interviewed have children belonging to generation Y. ‘Time’ Mary Ann Williams said, ‘they never seem to have time to read a book’; ‘their university reading lists are so extensive that I can see how reading for pleasure has lost all appeal’ (Serrano, H. 2014).

‘The entire landscape of the literacy world is changing’
‘Of course I read. I read all the time’ Heawood writes, ‘I use the Kindle app on my phone while a child tries to get my attention, or while I’m trying not to miss my stop on the bus. I read books in bed while also looking at Twitter and writing notes to myself about work, and then I look at the other half-read books on my bedside pile and wonder if I should switch. And then I change radio station three times because the talking is distracting me, but silence was worse. And then I notice that it’s 1am and I’ve got through a mere 18 pages of my book but an impressive 157 page refreshes of Facebook, again.’
Yet for generation Y the idea of ‘switching off’ is more of an ideal than a reality.
