Do we really need to « read books » in order to call ourselves readers? If so, is it fine to skip most chapters?

All addictions are bad.

I can’t stand it when those twitchy, disheveled looking individuals with soulless eyes are standing outside of bookstores.

The other day one of them was offering sexual favors in exchange for a copy of Of Human Bondage. It’s a disgrace. Can’t they see what they’re doing to their families? Who are these people?

If your loved ones are in this situation, please do not hesitate to schedule an intervention as soon as they start talking about how similar to our society 1984 is.
