An awesome literary blog I just found. Anyone even remotely into reading should check it out.

i wish there was no such thing as “into reading” and people just did it. i remember a time when that was the case and there were seemingly less idiots.
i love the internet & technology like WHOA but i am going to try my damndest to avoid it a bit more after i move and focus on my preferred hands-on activities again like drumming & painting & cooking/baking.
for this reason, i am putting off buying an Xbox indefinitely.
also, cool website.
The second link on there (http://biblioklept.org/2010/07/18/david-foster-wallace-on-commercial-literature-and-the-dread-of-reading/) addresses exactly that, Mandy, and sort of phrases it in a way that makes the non-readers a bit more understandable. Dude seems to understand what the issue is and compares it to appreciating classical music, which I get. I’ve personally experienced the sort of dread he refers to in the second part of the vid.
Reading’s gayballs.
