The sheer volume of information being created and the speed at which it is being made available has challenged the type of art being created. The aim now caters to shorter and more excitable attention spans.
Yet, the internet has also increased accessibility to art and fostered communities of people with similar interests. It has opened up a market for art to people who would have been otherwise unreachable. This is our guide to growing your reading habit with the help of, and in spite of, social media.
Have a good Kindle reader
For readers whose living spaces or lifestyles do not have enough provision for physical books, a Kindle reader is a one stop solution where you could store and read soft copies of your favourite books on any of your favourite devices.
HAVE A GOOD BLOG OR A GOOD WEBSITE
A good blog or website to an avid reader is like a daily devotional to a devout Christian. Devout Christians will tell you that different devotionals appeal to different people and purposes. So, choosing the right fit is of utmost importance, and the same goes for choosing a blog or website. Afreada.com and Brittlepaper.com are great resources for short stories from all around Africa, both delivering new content each week. And for more in-depth analysis of social issues, republic.com.ng and stearsng.com would be more ideal fits.
HAVE A GOOD ONLINE BOOKSTORE
The internet has changed the mode of buying books. For more diverse options, brick and mortar bookstores such as Laterna and Patabah have a strong online presence via websites and social media pages where books could be ordered for delivery.
