The lightning had cracked the ground already, you just hadn't heard it yet.”

“He wanted to know what the current trends were. What were people reading? What did I think about the decline in reading overall?
I told him that the books aimed at children and teens that were selling were the ones the Ministry of Education had promoted as ‘library recommendations’, and that the decline in reading among children was largely the fault of their parents.

That’s why they cling to the recommendations from the Ministry of Education. Those books are all insufferably boring and, as a result, the kids learn to hate books; it’s a vicious circle, with no end in sight.”
