I've stopped reading about the death of books because it's wasteful and morbid and insulting to the authors, agents, publishers, booksellers, critics, and readers that keep the world community of fiction interesting.

Ich habe aufgehört, über den Tod von Büchern zu lesen, weil es verschwenderisch und morbide und beleidigend für die Autoren, Agenten, Verleger, Buchhändler, Kritiker und Leser ist, die die Weltgemeinschaft der Fiktion interessant halten.
