“Reading requires sitting alone by yourself in a quiet room and, I have friends, intelligent friends, who don’t like to read because they get, it’s not just bored, there’s an almost dread that comes up, I think, here, about having to be bored, about having to be quiet …. when you walk into most public spaces in America, it isn’t quiet anymore, they pipe music through. It seems significant that we don’t want things to be quiet, ever, anymore…. particularly now, in the computer and internet culture, everything is so fast, and the faster things go, we feed that part of ourselves but don’t feed the part of ourselves that likes quiet, that can live in quiet…”
