The Literary Saloon points to an article asking for the point of literary readings. “Reading is decidedly anti-social behavior. The freedom to read whatever we want to read is a shining legacy of our democracy, but one’s response to a book need not be democratic. One’s response is a totalitarian regime within each individual reader, morphing over time, and fighting for dominion of the imagination,” Mik Awake writes.
Social activity is communication right? Reading communicates ideas!

That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. (And I listen to hockey broadcasts :=)
Please clarify, sr.
“Reading is decidedly anti-social behavior.”
– nothing could be more social than reading. One is trying very hard to understand a fellow being.
