craigd, People who fear books are largely people who don't read. They just somehow know that books convey irresistible temptations to the unsuspecting. They don't read 1} because they don't like to, 2) because they want to guard themselves against hearing something that could threaten their mind set. Stupid people fear books because they resent smart people who know things they don't. Stalin and Hitler tried to defend themselves by banning books. They're the model for book-banners today.
