The Long Form

The Long Form: "Over the past year it really began to bother me that as I spent more and more time trying to stay up-to-date with RSS feeds, tweets, emails, and other bite-sized pieces of content, this came at the expense of reading long-form content — and books in particular. Sure I was still reading, but what I was reading was less substantive. Most of my reading was being done very quickly and in short bursts, and neither my life nor my reading habits were oriented to consume long-form content. I came to view this as a “reading gap”. Even though from one perspective I was reading more, I was really reading less."
