I used to read a lot of books and mags, I was a huge reader from about the age of 7, in middle school I subscribed to US News and World Report and Newsweek for instance. I was also a pretty big newspaper reader. Mags and Newspapers I dont read at all now (Vanity Fair and The Atlantic were the last mags I read). Books I read maybe 2% of what I did, and sometimes when I do decide to read a book it is not so much for the ideas in the book but rather that I am trying to educate myself on the author....I have not made up my mind about them.....reading a whole book they wrote tends to be an awesome way to get to know them. I feel a lot like I recently heard Douglas Murray talk, about he has a real affinity for some people who are long passed through their books, I feel like I know something about them, in a way they are not dead to me.
I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.
DARK AGES SUCK!
