I used to read more, but then video games became capable of telling captivating stories and writers and artists could share their ideas and visions directly with people in a way never possible before, and often more intimately and thoroughly than before. I'm not after the experience of reading a book, I'm after the experience of experiencing other peoples' perspectives, feelings, experiences and art. And there are mediums other than written word that do that for me. In the past, there simply wasn't enough content for other mediums to take the place of reading completely for those things.
