The problem is, you see; hardly anyone reads books these days.

I have dozens of books (that warn exactly, with instructions) on how to avoid this exact situation.

I have like 30 books that I think "Hmm, that looks interesting".

But then I'd feel guilty for doing nothing with that time.

Time better spent rotting your brain on the internet with the rest of us.

The important thing about having books is the option to read them.
