It's people like this telling their kids that books are stupid and not to read them that are making this world so bad, and reducing the total reading public. Of course, these guys aren't the only ones hearing that kinda stuff. I've talked with a lot of people at conventions, signings, or just on the street, and their general take on books is, "They're stupid" or "Nah, I don't read. It doesn't interest me." or excuses even more lame than that.
One of my favorites comes from a comic book convention where I asked a guy, "Why don't you read books" to which he replied, "Oh I do. But I want mine to have pictures in them. 
Uh, isn't that what your imagination is for? And no, just because a comic book has the word "book" in its name doesn't mean it's truly a "book" by the proper definition of the word. Ugh. Sorry for the rant, but this just bugged me. |
the argument that really bothers me (maybe a bit off topic) is that we don't need to encourage people to have a college degree because or an advanced degree because there's too many people with degrees but without jobs....
btw..I googled your books and found "the oort perimeter" and the description drew my attention...would you recommend it?
I really like my ebook reader but I hate that it's more expensive to "buy" a digital copy than to buy a used paperback (3-5 times more expensive)
any suggestions?
should I start with that book or is it part of a series?
do you sell your books(digital versions) directly?
Thanks
edit:
After some more searching, I found what might be your website (
http://www.realmsofimagination.net/the_oort_perimeter/) ..where it says there's a free download...downloaded it and will try it. Not sure if it's a chapter (or a few) or if it is the complete book.
