The twisted logic in that meme is hilarious.
Comes across much like an If/Then fallacy.
I have read more books than I could possibly count.
Never been afraid of reading a book.
Read a couple Stephen King novels that were kinda scary.
If you are not thinking when you read a book,
you don't need the book, you need a brain.
I thought about what books to read,
I was thinking while reading them,
and I thought about what I had read.
Some books do change the way we think,
some enhance or otherwise improve the way we think.
Others really make us think.
They are what we call "food for thought".
And, some books are to be avoided at all costs,
they are packed with lies, disinformation, propaganda and conspiracies.
Discriminate thought is absolutely necessary when choosing what books to read.
So, let me think about this for a minute.
OK, Peter, I thought this over, all by my self, didn't read any books, and
I've come to the conclusion that, basically, you are full of s**t.
