Chrisooya's Stream of Conciousness
They don’t like that books are immutable, transferable objects whose payload never degrades. A digital ‘book’—caged on a device, licensed, not purchased—is the sort of thing that greases their mandibles with digestive enzymes. Imagine what these people must think of libraries.
Jerry Holkins
A lot of the people who read a bestselling novel, for example, do not read much other fiction. By contrast, the audience for an obscure novel is largely composed of people who read a lot. That means the least popular books are judged by people who have the highest standards, while the most popular are judged by people who literally do not know any better. An American who read just one book this year was disproportionately likely to have read The Lost Symbol, by Dan Brown. He almost certainly liked it.

A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.
Hunter Stockton Thompson
We live in a spectacular society, that is, our whole life is surrounded by an immense accumulation of spectacles. Things that were once directly lived are now lived by proxy. Once an experience is taken out of the real world it becomes a commodity. As a commodity the spectacular is developed to the detriment of the real. It becomes a substitute for experience.
