Survey

Do you actually read, or do you just want people to think you're smart when you post quotes on social media?

Buying books, posting underlined quotes, making videos with the library in the background... and then the amount of time spent reading a day is less than the time spent in the bathroom. This survey is designed to gather scientific data and determine who's really right. It only takes two minutes: answer honestly and we'll see which reader profile dominates the final report.
