There is a quote from Ray Bradbury in Fahrenheit 451 that really needs to be thought about.
You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.
Are the books you are reading building our culture?
If we all had better libraries, would our culture be better?
If our culture is better, wouldn’t society get better too?
