I’ve noticed my reading habits changing too. I used to read a lot of literary fiction in my twenties, but now I mostly go for nonfiction or short-form stuff. It’s not that I think fiction is less important, it just feels harder to make space for slow, quiet stories that don’t offer an immediate payoff.

Maybe it’s not just a cultural decline, but a deeper shift in how we deal with time, attention, and meaning.

I have noticed this too. I spent my childhood immersed in fantasy and dystopian fiction, but nowadays, all I do is read nonfiction. Granted, part of it is probably because I realised that reality is typically much stranger (and therefore often more interesting) than fiction.
