Literate people 'should boycott books', says Murdoch biographer | Books | guardian.co.uk

Rupert Murdoch’s biographer Michael Wolff has called on “literate people” to boycott books until publishers stop bringing out ghostwritten memoirs by the likes of Sarah Palin.

I’m really not sure about this. I actually have a desire to read Going Rogue, but only because it may be the 21st Century’s Mein Kampf. But I might just download it or something. Apply the same far-leftist consumerist principles applied to commercial music, I say.

(Yeah, Palin-fanatics never thought of making that comparison when they thought Obama = Hitler, DID THEY!?!?!?!)

This argument makes no sense to me. How about people just don’t buy certain books, rather than no books? I’m sure that sends a much more powerful message than a handful of people not purchasing any books at all.

From Wikileaks’ archive of 24 hours worth of pager intercepts from the day, which seems positively ripe for the (data) mining. More on Reddit, too.

I’m browsing through these right now and I’m speechless.

There’s a whole generation of people able to access almost anything from almost anywhere, and they don’t have the same localised stylistic sense that my generation grew up with. It’s all alive, all “now,” in an ever-expanding present, be it Hildegard of Bingen or a Bollywood soundtrack. The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.“

“Music for bus journeys is different to music for driving; sitting behind the wheel you are filled with the exhilarating sense of possibility, the feeling that you could go anywhere; on bus journeys your destination is always limited by the bus route, and your music is, by and large, confined to your headphones rather than billowing out of a car speaker system. Accordingly, the best music for bus journeys always seems characteristically introspective, the kind of music made for dreamers and loner.“

I like my bus journey songs to have a narrative; ‘cinematic mini-epics’ by Laura Barton (via flourhoneymilk) (via somethingchanged)(via inthetrees)

Oh, I completely agree.

Funny that some Libs are questioning his mental state, when he seems to be the only one saying what everyone else knows.
