Most people don't read books and I think shaming them over it is counterproductive. Most people don't burn books and that seems far, far worse.

Most people find out the stuff they need to know from books whether they like it or not. See how many ideas from 1984 are common knowledge even though most people haven't read it.

True, for all the good it does. Seems like we're doing the whole 1984 thing anyways.

They were doing it back then too. Orwell wrote from life.
