A world without books would be a boring place, we would be living like the cavemen(literally). Name any activity or hoby, and it would not be possible without books. If books just disapeared one day we would be fine for out life time but as time goes on the average IQ would keep dropping. If books were illegal I could see if affecting me but not nearly as much as some people, however if reading became illegal I have no idea what I would do with myself. I dont know if people dont see this but there are words EVERYWHERE (we read when we watch tv). It would not be possible in our lifetime for that to happen because the workload it would take to eliminate every word in our country would be almost impossible.
"There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches."--Ray Bradbury
By visiting sites such as sparknotes we kill the literature genius some of these auther slaved over and by reading summeries we only get a slight percentage of the creativity these books offer. But on the otherhand I am a geology major and I really dont need to know all this literature along with the geologic formation of the Ellsworth schist in acadia national park, so the application of these websites are completely necessary in my opinion. Books can be dangerous if you live in an oppresive country because one of the biggest fears in a country of that nature is a public rebellion. Imagine if you lived in the story 1984 and you got a copy of that book(maybe with a different title). How would you react?
