Ha! That’s not true. I like reading books and am perpetually trying to spend more time doing it. I certainly like reading some books more than I do others! I think books are less obviously a good medium than they used to be, at least for topics that move quickly. Maybe that’s where this impression came from. But I still think there’s something to be said for them: once a publisher has commissioned a book, you can focus on a single project for much longer than is typically possible in journalism.
