- Almost weekly on reddit someone posts something like, “Gee, I really want to but I just can’t get into reading. What should I do?” After making a suggestion or two, I add that reading and books aren’t for everyone, that there are about 5,000 other excellent hobbies and ways to pass the time.

If Tom Brady would smoke a cigarette on the bench during the Super Bowl, I would forgive him for deflating those balls.

Blowhard, Esq, is John Derbyshire? Well whaddaya know. As for reading books, I agree, it’s not for everyone. I know quite a few people who don’t read books at all, and they seem to function just fine. I can’t imagine it myself, but there you go. My youngest son seems to be shaping up that way, after two older sons who are book fiends. We fought it for a bit, then realized we were probably putting him off books even more.
Crap is non-existent until it isn’t. Pretty much defines innovation, so of course nerds worry about it. May not come to pass, but it also may.

Haha, whoops, I guess that is a little misleading. I can assure you that I am not an alternate identity for Derbyshire.

The Len Dawson photo is priceless. Not just the cigarette, but he’s drinking a Fresca! I guess Gatorade hadn’t become ubiquitous yet. And he’s so… not buff. Those were the days.
