I saw one for the first time ever last month. Books being advertised on TV is so strange. *NM* Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 15/01/2010 05:25:41 AM
This is the first I have heard of the phenomenon.
It strikes me as a little odd, but not completely insane.
I won't speculate as to what this says about our culture or our attitude to books (in part because I still buy books mainly based on author, cover and blurb -- and sometimes how they smell), as I am ill and my brain does not work properly. Feel free to weigh in, though.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
