Is "Bowling alone" (by R. Putnam) a good read?
The topic of the book sounds interesting, but I’m wondering if it is still a good read today/aged well and if it is suitable for someone who isn’t already familiar with sociology much. Is the writing style easily digestible, or is it a “hard read”?

What book wouldn't work in any other medium?
Something I've been curious about
I don’t really understand how new books or new authors get their works to wider audiences nowadays. How exactly do you find new books, or if you write how do you get them out to people with how much content is put out every day?
