The War on The Reading Life

'

All terrorist groups, all dictators, all so called populists from the start of recorded history have waged a war on those of us in the reading life.  You can see this in Ancient Greece with the execution of Socrates, the burning of extensive writings in the Philippines in the 1500s as they were written in an unfamiliar to the Spanish script thus destroying for ever who knows what wisdom and history, to the greatest war on us of all, The Holocaust.  First they burned the books, then millions of their readers.
