Reading is an act of resistance in a landscape of distraction…. We regain the world by withdrawing from it just a little by stepping back from the noise. David L. Ulin

“We shouldn’t teach great books; we should teach a love of reading. Knowing the contents of a few works of literature is a trivial achievement. Being inclined to go on reading is a great achievement.” B. F. Skinner : The Man and His Ideas, by Richard Isadore Evans, 1968
I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we’re reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us. That is my belief. Franz Kafka

Die Orange Public Library schuf in Zusammenarbeit mit der Chapman University eine Parodie auf die unschlagbare Single “Uptown Funk” von Bruno Mars. Der Titel hierzu lautet “Unread Book” und wird von Pogona Creative interpretiert. Was haltet ihr davon?
