There was a time when people used to read only for their own pleasure. The traditional pleasures of reading are more complex than just enjoyment. They involve patience, solitude, contemplation. And therefore the books that are most at risk from our attention are those that require a bit of effort. we need a certain type of silence, an ability to filter out the noise. Such a state is increasingly elusive in our over-networked culture, in which every rumor and mundanity is blogged and tweeted. Today, it seems it is not contemplation we seek but an odd sort of distraction masquerading as being in the know. Why? Because of the illusion that illumination is based on speed, that it is more important to react than to think, that we live in a culture in which something is attached to every bit of time.
Ironically, but not coincidentally, reading has begun fading from our culture at the very moment that its importance to that culture is finally being established. Many theorists believe that the downturn in reading could result in the modern world's cultural and political decline. T
hese days, however, after spending hours reading e-mails and fielding phone calls in the office, tracking stories across countless websites, people find it difficult to quiet down and read a book.
"A mode of thinking is being lost," laments Neil Postman, whose book, "Amusing Ourselves to Death," is a warning about the consequences of a falloff in reading. Optimists hold that the widespread notion that it is in decline is an oversimplification, citing statistics showing that books, the oldest form of print, seem to be doing reasonably well and that publishers, in fact, are churning out more and more of books. According to Postman, American politics, religion, athletics, art, education are all transformed into "show business".
Ah, but are those books actually being read? Not, in many cases, from cover to cover. In a society where professional success now requires acquaintance with masses of esoteric information, books are often purchased to be consulted, not read. About 15% of the new titles in "Books in Print" are scientific or technical books. Fiction and general-interest nonfiction works would seem to be designed to be read, but lately these books also serve o
ther functions. Their authors often employ them as routes to movie contracts or to tenure or to the intellectual renown. Their publishers increasingly see these books not as collections of sentences and paragraphs that might be clarified and sharpened but as product that must be publicized and marketed so the balance sheets of the large conglomerates they now work for might tilt in the right direction. Reading still plays and, for the foreseeable future, will continue to play, a crucial role in our society. Nevertheless, there is no getting around the fact that reading's role has diminished and likely will continue to shrink.

“老夫在大都市久居已久，刚刚与家人在乡下盘桓了三日，白天，我们在田间徜徉，夜晚伴着虫子和青蛙的叫声入眠。让我想起了童年时代的记忆。故乡的村落、学校、庭院、河边的嬉戏，这短暂的旅游让记忆鲜活起来。我在这里到了乡愁。”这是一名老网民在朋友圈里发的帖子。

The fine art of repentance is a skill taught in business schools and promoted by high-priced consultants. But all kinds of offenders in public life still seem to struggle with the execution. Corporations like BP and Wells Fargo have faced criticism for dawdling responses to cascading crises, while politicians from Bill Clinton to Anthony Weiner have had difficulty admitting to peccadilloes.
The key to contrition, according to public-relations experts, is projecting sincerity, humanity, and a plain-spoken demeanor — the better to convince a cynical public. And in this age of whipsawing social media, you had better do it fast.
“The head of United should never have been allowed to take three swings at correcting and apologizing for an incident that was on more social media than Kim and Kanye’s wedding,” said Mortimer Matz, a New York consultant who has guided decades’ worth of clients through crises small and large.
United issued several halting statements about the plane episode, which first emerged Monday morning, before Mr. Munoz made his abject appearance on Wednesday on ABC. Mr. Matz said the airline had missed its moment.
“You’ve got to be a fast thinker in the digital age,” said Mr. Matz, who will be 93 in July.
Many companies now take steps to be nimble and responsive when a furor erupts online. Last week, Pepsi took less than 24 hours to apologize and retract a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign that used populist imagery to sell soda. It was a rapid U-turn that would have been unthinkable a few years ago.
