And now we can't even enjoy the solitude of a nice read without having to share bits of it?! Well they can all just take a running jump. I'll continue to mention books I enjoyed to my friends, but there is no way I'm going to stop reading to post excerpts that I enjoyed to Facetwitter. Bah, humbug
Yes, yes, yes. It seems to be more narcissistic than social, this constant attempt at self-validation. I do, therefore I am.
