To Read or Not to Read

I am going to come out straight and say it out......People these days can't spell a sentence properly because they don't read anymore than that abbreviated monstrosity termed "TXTING", yes it does miss an "e" because guess what.....that "e" takes a bit too much of space. Yeah that "e" got punished for being too eager to expand the existing terms of agreement on space!! I have no clue what that line meant but if we look closely it has a lot of "e" there!!!!
The reasons for not reading can be many, why should I read a book when I can watch the movie which would eventually be made if it is such a damn fine book. I could be playing on my XBox/PS 3/Wii rather than sitting somewhere doing something as nerdy as reading. I am too stupid to read. I don't really know but someone told me the answer to all my problem reading related lie in one word ----- DYSLEXIA. Oh yes, the last reason has become somewhat of a popular choice of excuse/answer to ward off the evil notions of reading.
But to be fair to this lot who don't read, the whole notion of reading is being killed by our lack of imagination. We can't really keep anyone's attention for a whole 10 minutes and we are trying to get them to spend a few hours with a book. The only worse turn we have taken is to get over reading nice books, we have turned to Magazines. Ahh the blesses world of magazines where we get to start our introduction lesson into stalking. How you ask? Well when you start getting obsessed about what your favourite "star" eats, drinks, drives, where they dine, what colours they like, if they sleep on the left side or the right, then my friend you have started on that path. How would I know.....well lets not go there and just a word of advise, you should really switch off that light while you change, that's the last thing I wanted to see.
Coming back to magazines, it has now become your advisor on everything, it will tell you what to eat, how to get that six pack abs you have always wanted but spent too much time reading magazine to obtain it, how you can make the missus (broadly used includes girlfriends, wife, partner) scream for more. Yeah some of them have got porn stars to give you tips coz who else would know anything about that one than them. Another word of advise, stick to wild life and nature photography, you are pretty useless when it comes to clicking.
I have just noticed that I have written a bit more than even I would want to read so my last words here would be.....avoid the pain, just watch a movie for anyone who watched the "Da Vinci Code" was well punished for it.

As for some tips on stalking.....watch out this space.
