Q: What is the single greatest threat to those of us who love to read?
A: Coffee-table books!
Well, rather those who own coffee-table books. These are the people who lavish their coffee tables with highly intellectual or cultural books with no intent to read them. We all know these people. I know one in particular who claims to love reading and love books but he never reads. Instead he ornaments his bookshelf with books like The Teachings of Buddha, Origin of Species, Paradise Lost, and a copy of the Koran. Sure, these are all great books, but they are only great if one reads the words inside them. It thoroughly annoys me that he hasn't even touched them since the day that he bought them.
angry much? Who are you bashing on?
