We know, we know.
All ye 64-letter, Twitter-constrained schmucks consider reading to be a cardinal sin.
For desis, books are the new pariahs to stay away from.
Let not even the shadow of the printed word fall on your Fair-and-Lovelied, Hennaed, Attared body. Who knows what dangers might lurk in the pages of books.
God Forbid that your limited mental horizons expand beyond Salman-is-great, Will-it-be-a-boy-for-Ash or Ajith-is-sooper.
For the deviants amongst SI readers who can read beyond a Tweet and consider books as their soulmates, hey, this post is for you.
