Other people’s approval is a powerful drug. Lucky me, I never got the chance to develop an addiction.
“My dear,
We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them. Don’t let them explore you until they’ve explored the secret universes of books. Don’t let them connect with you until they’ve walked between the lines on the pages.
Books are cool, if you have to withhold yourself from someone for a bit in order for them to realize this then do so.
Truly yours,
John Samuel Waters”
