Why Not Read?

I do not understand people who say: “I don’t read.” When a person says that I feel like clicking the “unfriend” button, but sadly we do not have one in real life. (Who must we speak to about that??) I just feel like there is no use to carry on pretending that me and that person can have any sort of a relationship beyond a very cursory one.

It would be like an anteater befriending a mourning dove: one forever blabbing on about how lovely ants taste, and the other waxing lyrical about how the world looks from high above. It just cannot work.

To be honest, I do not understand why someone would choose not to read. I mostly read fiction and I think fiction is where you get the truest answers about life. This life game is tough and so confusing. It is all subterfuge and lies. People behaving in ways incongruent to how they really are under the surface, and you just tumbling along bashing into walls you did not even know were there.

Congratulations Anicia Gaothuse!

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
