Low Book Reading Levels Recorded in UK
Highgate's Holly Village, a collection of Victorian Gothic Revival cottages, is up for sale at £3 million, reflecting its historic charm and architectural significance. Meanwhile, the art market surprises as Ming Dynasty jars sold for £10 million, far exceeding their £800,000 estimate, raising questions about Sotheby’s appraisals. In literary news, there is a call for greater recognition of the late Eric Linklater, a significant Scottish writer whose works were included in the original Penguin 10, highlighting his contributions to literature. Alarmingly, a report shows that only 35% of young people enjoy reading, marking the lowest level recorded since surveys began, leading to the closure of English literature degrees at Canterbury Christ Church University. Edinburgh, known as UNESCO's 'City of Literature,' continues to attract literary enthusiasts with its rich history and sites that inspired famous authors. The ongoing decline in reading interest poses challenges for literature's future in education and culture.
