Happy Friday, book-lovers. Unwind with some Book Riot stuff. Those times are long gone, as my eight-year-old loves to remind me, and so if you’re like me, and want some nostalgic reads or an escape from *waves hands* all of this, grab your favorite snack—bonus points if it’s something that was also around in the ’80s or ’90s (does anyone else remember the candy Bonkers?? SO good, right?)—and let’s take a look at some of the best books about the ’80s and ’90s.

When was the last time you read a book? And I mean really read one, without scrolling through your phone, sharing the latest viral meme on Twitter X, or watching that Netflix show everyone is talking about. Chances are, it’s been a while, but you’re not alone. According to a YouGov survey, only 54% of adult Americans read a book in 2023. And the numbers are worse for children. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, only 43% of fourth graders scored at or above a proficient level of reading. Yikes!

If you’re a Gen Xer or older, one surprising habit the younger generations developed is their love of subtitles or closed-captioning while watching TV.
