And again, this post didn't make me want to take a break. Just a continual realization that 31 year old casual reader who's more into movies, tv and video games shouldn't waste so much time on a site full of older book lovers wed to e-ink etc.  If I'm going to waste time online I should focus it only on the hobbies I really love, and not a casual one like novel reading which is as much a way to get sleepy as it is a true hobby for me. |
seriously. No...that wasn't my intent. Given our age difference, yes, we have a different perspective on reading, tv, movies and video games. Like you said......its all in how we're raised.
I am trying.... I will be reading "Maus" because of this thread.
I can appreciate the artwork involved as well as anyone.
I guess my true fear is......will the artwork evolve and get more intricate, will people need to 'read' less to understand the story?
Thats scary.
