"Nearby was an iPhone he had bought recently. 'Why?' he said. 'Because
I’m free. Every morning I study a chapter in IPHONE FOR DUMMIES, and
now I’m proficient. I haven’t read a word for two months. I pull this
thing out and play with it.'
"Then he corrected himself: 'I haven’t read during the day. At night I
read. I read for two hours. I just finished a marvelous book by Louise Erdrich, THE ROUND HOUSE. But mostly I read 20th-century history and
biography. I lived then. I was either a child or at school or at work.
It’s time I caught up.'"
Philip Roth, now just trolling us all.
