And that identity is buttressed by involvement in book clubs, engagement with social media communities such as Booktok and Bookstagram, and access to libraries and bookstores.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Building bookish communities<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Identities of reader, writer and fan seem to reinforce each other.<\/p>\n<p>Millennials and members of Gen Z who identify as readers are also more likely to be writers and participate in fandom.<\/p>\n<p>Community is key to all of these identities. For example, two of the top reasons millennials and members of Gen Z identify as fans are the fact that they\u2019re \u201cpart of a fan community\u201d and are able to \u201cmeet others like me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every August, the Edinburgh Book International Book Festival in Scotland \u2013 the largest book festival in the world \u2013 puts on an entire month of events around books, authors and readers.<\/p>\n<p>During the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghfestivalcity.com\/inspiration\/127-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-2023-book-festival\">2023 event<\/a>, which we attended, you could see attendees clamoring to see writers like Alice Oseman, author of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/aliceoseman.com\/heartstopper\/graphic-novels\/\">bestselling \u201cHeartstopper\u201d graphic novels<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We heard fans waiting in that line talking about how Oseman\u2019s series featured the first queer characters they\u2019d encountered in a book. Readers came to the festival with friends and family, and made new friends and connections at the event. The passion was palpable.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What \u2018counts\u2019 as reading<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>But does a graphic novel like \u201cHeartstopper\u201d even count as \u201creal\u201d reading?<\/p>\n<p>If the National Endowment for the Arts\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arts.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/ToRead.pdf\">definitions from the early 2000s<\/a>\u00a0are to be believed, then no \u2013 unless it\u2019s reading literature for leisure, it must not be \u201creal\u201d reading.<\/p>\n<p>And some millennials and members of Gen Z may believe that the reading they are doing isn\u2019t real reading. But a narrow definition of what counts as reading ignores the love Gen Zers and millennials have for content such as graphic novels, manga and comics.<\/p>\n<p>In our study, 59% said they would prefer a graphic version of a story over text-only. And let\u2019s not forget audiobooks, which 34% of Gen Zers and millennials prefer over text-only. Millennials and members of Gen Z are also reading nonfiction or reading for school and work, rather than pleasure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.panoramaproject.org\/immersive-media-reading-2020\">In a separate study from 2020<\/a>, we found that 83% of American readers read books for reasons other than entertainment, such as school, work or self-improvement.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What makes a reader?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>More Gen Z and millennial women identify as readers, so there could be gender differences at play: Perhaps young men, no matter how much they read, are hesitant to closely identify with an activity they see as the purview of women.<\/p>\n<p>Socioeconomic status may also factor into whether someone feels they can claim a readerly identity. Gen Zers and millennials who didn\u2019t identify as readers were less likely to have a job in the past 12 months and earned less money.<\/p>\n<p>So it turns out that identifying as a reader is often about community, wealth and gender \u2013 and what counts as reading \u2013 than it is about how much someone actually reads.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps there can be an effort to broaden the definition of \u201creading\u201d \u2013 yes, audiobooks and comics count \u2013 and to build bookish communities beyond places such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/bookstagram\/?hl=en\">Bookstagram<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/BookTok\">BookTok<\/a>. And being a reader can be more than loving classic literature, though certain social media trends, such as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/post45.org\/2023\/12\/reading-like-rory-post-digital-reading-on-booktok\/\">Reading Like Rory<\/a>\u201d \u2013 a BookTok phenomenon centered on the literary classics read by Rory Gilmore of \u201cGilmore Girls\u201d \u2013 amounted to just that.<\/p>\n<p>If young people were to see being a reader as simply enjoying and engaging with stories, how many of them would start to call themselves readers after all?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Kathi Inman Berens is Associate Professor of Book Publishing and Digital Humanities and Rachel Noorda is Associate Professor of Publishing both at Portland State University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Identifying with an activity is different from actually doing it.
