Against Reading
This blog is against people reading books. They waste your life and lead you to unproductive ways. Here you learn of duplicity and mendacious behaviour. They have never done any good for anyone (aside from the rapacious distributors who salivate at the idea of a book which becomes widely popular). They are worse than the most destructive drugs. Away with them; keep them out of the hands of our innocent children and out of the sight of our cherished veterans who will only sadden their lonely last days among the covers. Be political, be of the public officer class, be business like-- destroy the libraries now. They are bringing this great nation to its knees- the newspapers are full of the end of our civilisation. So don't read them either.
The three stages of intoxication are 'the dignified', ''the quarrelsome', and 'the amorous'. Such information could only be obtained either from a book, or a bottle, which makes plain the need to prevent indulgence of these kinds. Fiction- pah!
