Penguin: stop waiting to read

The challenge: Books are less prevalent in online conversations than other forms of media.

The insight: People don’t prioritize reading (and thus don’t talk about it) because it’s hard to make time to read. But people do have extra time.

The idea: Turn waiting into reading, and reading into conversation.

Then, Instagram users could share quotes on their Instagram story (like they would song lyrics).
