   Do not waste your valuable time reading heavy and boring books! I love reading but I do not waste my time that way because I have a lot of other things to do. I look for summaries or a synopsis of that book. You can get a real good idea of what the book is all about without wasting too much of your time.

OMG, I can't believe you feel that the words the actual authors poured their energy into to create their art is a waste of time.  That's a crying shame.  :'(  Don't you pour your creative energy into anything?  Do you watch movies or just the trailers?  Do you listen to whole songs or just the online samples?  You're depriving yourself of so much.   :dontknow:

That's the trouble with those of the instant gratification/limited attention-span crowd.  Of course, they could try to increase their reading & comprehension levels so that "heavy" books don't take so much of their "valuable time" up. Then again, it may be that anything other than 'light entertainment' is far too "boring" to read - especially if there aren't 'pick-shures' in 'em.  On yet another hand, maybe it would be a waste of time for those folks to indulge in anything beyond minimal operating capacity?
