Don't people read anymore?

[D.M. van Eijmeren]

Question about the discussion on bad sales of Disney comics in the USA:
If people don't read anymore, why are Joanne Rowling's very thick books
about Harry Potter so popular amongst today's children? The thickness of
those books even scares me away, an old man of 36 years. :-P
The total Potter-story must be over thousands of pages long. And the kids
love to read it! How come?
