Who cares if you define it as “reading” or “not really reading” You ingest the words, you learn, you are entertained, you wonder, you laugh, you cry. I partake of books with my eyes and ears and I love both. I would rather listen to music than read the notes; I would rather look at a painting rather than listen to a description of it.How does Mr. Pastis define “book”? Maybe he thinks we should only look at his cartoons on paper rather than our screens.
I can’t believe she is even hesitating! Maybe Bets is showing some real growth.
