Readers - I Don't Have Time!

"I don't have time to read anymore!"
People are finding less and less time to read and the thought of getting lost in a book for a few hours sends their time-manager into a panic and in our rushed, modern lifestyle, people are losing their ability to concentrate on anything for longer than 30 minutes - at best.

Everything is shortened nowadays - texting is a whole new language and advertisers continually search for succinct slogans. Half hour sitcoms replace 2 hour sagas and newspaper headlines whipping by as we dash to work replace any meaningful journalism.

For all this mad rushing about, we often find ourselves waiting - at a coffee shop for a friend to arrive, at the train station, in traffic, at the doctor's room, half an hour spent at home before collapsing in bed...

So why read Fiction Bitz? It's short, it's local and it's something different from the every day news of murder and political mayhem. It's (almost) free entertainment without a power cord or aerial.

If that doesn't work for you, think about supporting local artists or helping the unemployed. Think of being 'proudly South African' and 'go local'.

If you're already an avid reader, you get the choice of four stories, with at least one new story, every week. You also get the chance to give the authors your views and opinions - possibly even a chance to affect the outcome of your favourite story!

Maybe you enjoy your TV more - how tantalizing is it to make a date every week to watch the next episode of a series and discuss dilemma possibilities with like-minded people during the nail-biting week in between? Now you can do the same with Fiction Bitz anywhere, any time.
