Yeah, because reading is just so hard, dontchaknow?
When I was in jr and sr high, I’d go to the library every Saturday and get my allotted three books out and read all weekend.
In 1980 I could buy a paperback and an Album for $10. It took mowing Mrs. Rondina's yard one time, to provide hours of entertainment. And yes, I used listen to Aerosmith while reading the exploits of John Carter of Mars. How weird is that?
I lived in the library and by the time I got to College, I had already read a lot of the stuff thatn was required for the English, History and other courses
