There's an element of irony here I suspect. Gravity's Rainbow is (IMHO) a _good_ book but it's a pain in the neck to read as a lot of the writing is... complex.

There's a true point being made that a lot of social media content is incredibly badly written and the brain 'teaches itself' to fill in blanks that you don't have to fill in when reading literature, though.

If you go from reading books (any books, really, anything that's been published) to reading reddit you have to go through an adjustment period as so much of what's on the screen looks like gibberish as it's so un-edited.
