No, regrettably (or yes? depends how to interpret the Q.). When i was a kid people did read on trains, but it was mostly shitty newspapers (we used to call them 'rags'). People reading actual books was really rare. Reading 'broadsheets' (which contained words with more than 2 syllables, instead of sensationalist gossip) was a class indicator. If anything it was worse than today, because of the extreme centralization of voice.

Where is this? When?
I love to get lost in books rather than algorithms.

Reading books? Well no don’t think so but I think it’s good isn’t it?
