Next Tuesday: Walking Two Miles To School Uphill In The Snow And How It Made Me A Man

Richard Cohen is not content to attack whippersnappers only because they wear tattoos. No, he also hates everyone who is trying to steal his books, destroy them, and turn their words into intangible digital signals which float around our heads in some sort of scary and newfangled ether. I really hope no one ever figures out a way to give people digital tattoos, because Cohen’s head might explode.
A lot of people (myself included) prefer the tactile experience of a book to something like a Kindle. However, very few of us manage to sound quite so curmudgeonly as Cohen.
By the way, how gross is this paragraph?
Sphere: Related ContentI never buy from Amazon unless I have to. I buy from actual bookstores, if I can. You go there and people are browsing or having coffee or staring into open laptops and pretending they’re writers or something. If I were younger, I’d go there to pick up girls. I’d look over their shoulders and say, “Oh, ‘The Prophet,’ a book of eternal truths” — or some such tripe. (It used to work.)
