Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami talking to Steven Poole in The Guardian 13 September 2014: How long does Murakami think the game of literature can last? I think serious readers of books are 5% of the population, he says. If there are good TV shows or a World Cup or anything, that 5% will keep on reading books very seriously, enthusiastically. And if a society banned books, they would go into the forest and remember all the books. So I trust in their existence. I have confidence. -------------- I dont know if the figure is as high as 5%, but I agree with him that a small percentage of people will keep reading seriously. See you in the forest.
