Literature is a hand. It can have you by the throat or lightly push your shoulder. It only depends on how smart and strong that hand is.

Do you think ever will come a time when humans will stop reading books? Then what will we analyze? Social media pages? Instagram bio? Whatts app status? Will we try to find why they said what they said?

I collected many books in my private collection which described ancient or the modernity of social class. Many literature books and even modern varieties are ancient statue books which are resolvable when including digital funding approaches. These dilemmas of history and authors still contained there made notice how fermented literature problems are there in this genre with desceptive and complicated writing. Most of these author problems are about lacking taxation for their publications and can all be solved with basic cultural sufficiency. The only books left clearly are books of biological, axiom measurement and important areas. The rest is left in boring light if the hysterical problem always has the same solution.
You will read these admirable criticisms untill you start to complain for your justice and indicate in the ecosystem. The only thing you notice is that the same countires and ecosystems require your depth and a basic sufficiency in more publications.

All art is examined by the time period, in the history surrounding it, and the cultural which created. Have a hard time thinking that some Marxist Terry whoever who's the first to apply a standard analytical process found in anthropology and even music.
