it only seems kinky the first time

And I think he’s absolutely wrong.

I love books; I always have. I love reading. As a child I’d actually go to bed early so I could read. Anything, everything, it didn’t matter - I just wanted to read. I learned so much about the world from the books I read and I am eternally grateful for that. As an adult, my house is full of books and I still love going to bookstores and buying books.

I own a Kindle too. It’s great. I can read on the train, I can read on planes. I don’t have to carry lots of books around when I travel (which I do a lot). I’m a very fast reader so I couldn’t possibly take enough printed books with me when I go away without having some sort of medical emergency when I tried to lift my suitcase.

Reading is a gift. Let’s not let snobbery take that away. It doesn’t matter how people read; all that matters is that they do.
