      @gutenberg_org do you think this applies to graphic novels/comics as well? My intuition is that it does but to a lesser extent. The illustrations are a separate channel of focus for your brain, so it is not as 'restorative' as when your brain is only focusing on words.

        @murdoccc you’re probably right although I am not a neuroscientist.

          Is the lack of reading then leading to the lack of empathy?
