well, in my experience younger people read a LOT more than I do, and faster. But if there's no style, no unique narrative voice, I just can't read it. I can no longer reader for plot alone. that's what I mean by fluff. Tons of people (and I suppose young and old alike... I mean it is a flaw in ME) seem to be able to eat up hundreds of pages of style-less plot in minutes, and I just can't do it any more. Not badly written, just not uniquely written, not artfully written. I used to be able to read it, and now it bores me. I need more than plot and character to keep me going.
