Well for one thing nobody read books anymore they read the Wikipedia entry and pretend they read the book. The only book you ever see anybody reading is Harry Potter or the latest ghostwritten and political emotionally manipulative memoir like Promise Me Dad. If you don’t read books and therefore don’t experience their art, you are doomed to be culturally and historically stupid

Similarly, I have done a little bit of research on The Cultural Revolution. https://hxlibraries.substack.com/p/you-say-you-want-to-read-about-a/comments
