Literature Shifts from Solitude to Social Sharing

People are increasingly reading books in a way that's meant to be shared with others, like in group chats or comment threads.

This shift means books are being written to be talked about rather than just enjoyed privately.

While this makes reading more social, it also means that the deep, personal experiences people used to have with books are disappearing.

This change is part of why some people think reading is declining, as the quiet, thoughtful time alone with a book is becoming less common.

It's a trade-off between enjoying books alone and sharing them with others.
