Even though its not a book, but instead a *poem* ha ha by Jeffrey Deaver, who does write some fab books! The Death of ReadingBy Jeffery DeaverI've got what I think is the very best job. I have no commute, I can dress like a slob. I get paid to make up things — isn't that neat? Just like at the White House and 10 Downing Street.Only in my case there's no dereliction. In fact it's expected when you're writing fiction. So imagine my horror, imagine my fear When I read in the press that the end was near.But not Armageddon or crazed terrorists No, the demise of reading was the article's gist. Teachers and parents and critics all share it: That like Monty Python's proverbial parrotReading is dead, deceased, pushing up daisies. Readers are growing increasingly lazy, lured by the siren of electronic toys That fill up their lives with meaningless noiseFrom palm pilots, blogs, big-screen TVs And mobile phones smarter than I'll ever be. We pray at the altar of our brand-new God, Who's powerful and wise and whose name is iPod.So, if people are no longer going to read, Then writers are something that nobody needs. This made my heart pound and made my hands shake And I considered what other jobs I might take.But looking for work to find something new, I decided that all I could possibly do Involved making lattes and learning to say, Let me tell you about our specials today.So before heading off to my overpriced shrink, I decided it might be best to rethink these terrible rumors that we've all heard About the interment of the written word.Now, if truly readers are dying off fast, That suggests there were masses of them in the past, But I can hardly imagine when that might have been. Who had, after all, any time to read whenYou were fighting off lions with your bare hands And wandr'ing nomadic across desert sands. True, reading wasn't past everyone's reach, But stone tablets weren't popular reads at the beach.In ancient Rome, yes, people read more, But not mass-market scrolls from their local drug store. And Latin, my God — once your lessons were done Your life span was over; you'd been murdered by Huns.In medieval times, there was always the hope That you might learn to read — if you worked for the Pope, Or you were a royal or other elite, Which left most of Europe up illiterate creekThen Gutenberg invented movable letters, Making access to books a little bit better. Though another small problem existed, of course, That the shortest of books cost more than your horse.So if the past hardly proves what the critics say, Then how 'bout the state of reading today? To find out if no one reads anymore I went to — where else? — my local book store,Which I couldn't help notice was jammed to the gills. And virtually every shelf was filled With books on more subjects than I knew existed And dozens of posters on which were listedUpcoming visits by writers galore, Who'd read to their fans right there in the store: From Romances, children's, true crimes about killers And self-help and travel, and — oh, yeah — thrillers.Then I recalled last summer when I was downtown, Doing some shopping, just strolling around I was nearly killed in a massive stampede Of youngsters, no less, in desperate needTo purchase their latest heart's desire, No batteries required, no software, no wires, A book's what they sought and they'd waited all day. Who's this Harry Potter guy, anyway?Last spring newspaper tabloids did what they do best. Oh, not running photos of movie-stars' chests Or stories of scandals that have Washington shook. No, the headlines all had to do with a book —Whether Dan Brown had borrowed ideas sowed By other authors in The Da Vinci Code. Which I might mention, in a jealous aside, Has sold 90 million copies worldwide.No, I feel that reading's demise must be Like George Bush's proof of WMDs Or James Frey's memoirs on Oprah of late. One word comes to mind — and it's 'overinflate."So forgive me, the ghosts of Lake Windermere And all other poets that we hold so dear, Not to mention the late and the great Dr. Seuss, For my rhyming transgressions and rhythmic abuse,But I simply couldn't sit back and ignore This lie that nobody reads anymore. And I'll share one more clue that there's nothing to fear: Why, just look around at our gathering here.We've traveled from distances quite far away, And even braved traffic to drive from L.A. We've managed to get here by hook and by crook, For something immortal . . . the passion for books.© 2006 Jeffery W. Deaver-- just because maybe i should try (writing that is) seems kinda easy.. One day... [someone should finish that off for me! :)
