It’s gotten to the point where there are just too many books out there. I’d much rather take a look at what the bold intellectuals of Reddit have to say.

R*ading is just so tiring and drab, I prefer listening to an academic explain to me in detail how a specific character impacts the complicated universe that my puny brain could never understand than use the mental effort to figure it out myself.

    Give me whatever drugs you're on that makes you see intellectuals on Reddit. This isn't a request.
