23 September 2010 08:29 amDear Dreamwidth: this shit is not okay. Oh my god, seriously, it is not. The fact that I've seen this repeatedly -- and elsewhere -- in that community does not at all help. Is there even a mod there, man?
I dislike a lot of what's going on in this post. And what the hell is happening in this thread: "What's sad is that even Fahrenheit 451 is coming true. They aren't burning the books, though. They're digitizing them, making them into convenient little travel sized bits that slowly but surely are never getting read again." What. Is Project Gutenberg really where the brutal, fascist dystopia begins?
Barely related, bitchy tangent: whenever someone brings up ebooks, someone else without fail brings up the wonderful ~smell~ of an old paper book. Dude, we get it. You wish you lived in a used stationary shop. Me, I sort of enjoy carrying dozens and dozens of free classics with me wherever I go, and I do it everyday. I guess that means I don't love books like you do, and I'm sorry for that.
In other news, I have school, it's terrible. Okay no, not really, but I think it might involve like, work and stuff, boo.
