But reading is different, reading is something you do. With TV, and cinema for that matter, everything's handed to you on a plate, nothing has to be worked at, they just spoon-feed you.

You have to imagine it all when you're reading.

But especially preserve the chastity of your soul from the dangers you may incur, by a conversation with muses no better than harlots.
