the remote is the new bookmark



There's a new AP poll out , and apparently one in four adults in the US say they read no books in the past year. NONE. And the "typical" person has only read four. Not to brag or anything, but I've read four books in the past two weeks. And before you throw it in my face that it's like, you know, my job - those were non-work books. I mean, everyone knows that publicists don't actually read the books we're promoting…that's for editors and suck-up assistants. Richard Bustos of Dallas, Texas offered up this excuse: "I just get sleepy when I read." Well, Richard, maybe try reading before watching 6 hours of mind-numbing reality shows and crawling into bed. I mean, geez, people. No one's asking you to read War and Peace. Just something! Anything. Harry Potter for christsakes. No wonder the book business is losing money. Goddamn you America. It's your fault we're all underpaid and overworked. If you're not going to read them, could you at least buy them? That way I could get the new handbag I've been eyeing.
Much Obliged,
Ladytron
