Of course I disagree with his first three sentence, it would change it to say watching a movie takes much less time than reading a book.
I feel a lot of people here are under the misconception that reading makes one smarter.
For me feedings the brain is much like feeding the body and what you "put in is what you get out ". Sure it's fun to indulge ever once and a while, but often the indulgence is excess.
I guess the one point I strongly disagree with the bloggers however is for him to have the audacity to tell others what is proper behavior.
