At times I felt this was verging on book snobbery. If people want to collect books as objects, speed read or publish books that make money (so that more books can be published!), that's all good. Making a kid read A Thousand Years of Solitude when they are struggling with it seems like a way to kill off a love of reading if you ask me. Towards the end it all felt like very mixed messaging. Should books evolve to survive or should we be just clinging on to the books of the past? I guess it would be a good book club discussion!
