This is the lamest damn thing I’ve ever heard of–leave it to the Brits to mock it though. Good beer and a cutting sense of humor–my kind of place.
When I worked in a bookstore right after graduation we used to sneer (yes, we were book snobs) at kids who would come in and head straight for the Cliff Notes. We sold those because the owner/manager was an idiot and he was in the family business because it was a family business not because he actually opened a book. Anyway, where was I?
Oh yeah, making up some cock and bull about reading too much. That’s just great–make reading scary. It is scary because you may actually find yourself smart enough to figure out that you should question authority sometimes…heaven forbid should we do that.
