Has the overall faster pace in life changed our perceptions such that we're more interested in instant gratification... of getting right to the point... rather than savoring the delicious descriptions and lyrical prose along the way? I dunno. I do know that some of the books I adored when I was young no longer enchant me.

Needed that.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194637248895827402noreply@blogger.com
