Re: Great writers forgotten by history:
I have to agree with Katie. I realize this is highly anecdotal. But when i was 16 years of age i was reading Dante Alighieri’s Divina Commedia in the original 14th century Tuscan. Tell me what today’s sixteen year olds either in Italy or the U.S. are reading today?

The number was 3 an old half blind lady and 2 teenagers. All my other friends and relatives and myself have a book in hand and several on the nightstand, usually partly read.

Re: Great writers forgotten by history:
If you count a kindle as a device, I have three, and I read two of them (the third is an old model). I need two in case the battery needs to be recharged while I'm reading something. I can just transfer it to the charged one and charge the uncharged one.
I think it would be hard to read a book on a phone, though.
