stupid and boring is what most great readers and writers say about
lots of books they read or try to read what they've been told is great
literature. yup, the wasteland is stupid and boring and so is crime
and punishment. this often means the reader is a bit young for the
vocabulary, syntax, allussions, style, of the text they are trying to
dig but can't. it is important to encourage them, cause this is the
point when many, more males than females btw, give up reading stupid
and boring books that we all think are beautiful and important or
worth spending hours with.
