Why Books are Stupid


There's a fun read on The Rumpus.

From the piece...

Elissa Bassist recently wrote a piece extolling the virtues of books. She suggests the good ones “can make life manageable” and turn a bad day into a good one. But here’s the thing: If this were true, librarians would be some of the happiest people on Earth. I personally know half a dozen librarians, and not one of them is anything close to happy. One of them is named Darryl, and there’s no way someone with that name could be happy. Another one eats dinner alone every night at Wendy’s. Does that sound like a happy person to you?
