Do people ACTUALLY read when people write…

Long articles on this thing?  I would, but I’m not so sure I would have the audacity to expect you to read it.  We, as a people, as a culture, have become gradually stupid due to the intelligent discoveries in technology. Nobody reads books anymore. Am I the only one who still likes a leathery Bukowski? Nobody gives a shit about Rolling Stone, Seventeen, or Cosmopolitan.  Elle, Vogue, and Variety could stick around so the rich can read the rags about the riches, but other than that, print is fucking DEAD. I mean, deader than punk, and that’s saying a lot.

Nobody gives a shit. We want instant gratification. iTunes downloads in 2 seconds, free porn on-Demand via Red Tube and Porn Hub. We can download digital versions of our books to our Kindles! Am I the only one who thinks this is bizarre?  Cool, yes.  But fucking bizarre.

The smell of a broken-in spine book is something you can’t digitally reproduce. You can’t order it straight to your door via Amazon.  I’d go on about this, but I fear your internet interest is waning at best. I’ll let you go shortly.  

As cool as the internet is, there’s something to be said for finding other means of enjoyment and intellectual stimulation such as reading a book. Yeah, you could ride a bike or row a boat. But you couldn’t play G-d in the world that is your imagination. It would be too easy; it’s all there in front of you.

Write or Die.

Read books and tell your friends about them.

Pass it on.
