Oh agreed, and books-real ones-are not so prone to the digital memory hole or the troubling institutional bias so present these days in the halls of higher learning. I actually gave up my smartphone and most social media in favour of real things, it's been good. i should be careful to not lend too great a credence to the growing idiocracy by offhand picking on the last vestiges of free thought left, even sarcastically.
Also, it's photos like these that make me extremely happy I got Oxford. Speaking of the Ivy League XD
