I think the quote is mine (this week). It comes from that great 18th
century London dictionary compiler and writer, Samuel Johnson. It
amused me to think that people were complaining about the reluctance
to read as early as that.
P.
Recent posts included a quote - something to effect that we don't
read if we have anything better to amuse ourselves with. I was
reading A New Kind of Science this morning. I rest my case.
