Thats a pretty dumb attitude to have.

 

Books are probably the best way to learn new things. Yes the internet is great, but there is no comparison to reading a book.

That wasn't the point I was trying to make, I just put a spin on "I don't read"

Hope I could help!

 O it's looking like a big pile of terrible. I mean, if they wanted to make some action "Tom Clancy" movies why not make some about John Clark, right?
