A newspaper is an oversized book with adverts and an expiry date.

When reading a book, you are sold what some writer thought. When reading a newspaper, you are sold what someone did, and, what some advertiser made.

We sometimes reveal how ignorant or bored we were when we read a book by giving it 5-stars.

Literacy makes man a victim of advertising. Education makes him a victim of employment.

Spam is a waste of the receivers’ time, and, a waste of the sender’s optimism.

The news is glorified gossip.
