Reading develops!
It has been assumed that regardless of what you read, whether they are the many faces of the gray man or the confessions of the stars of one advertisement, readers are rather intelligent people. Unfortunately … not me. Because when lovers of literature started to write to me only known abbreviations, ciphers, or generally a code for initiates, I had a serious problem with understanding them! Randomly omitted letters, no punctuation, no verbs, Polish characters, or strange words! And in all of this I am all… question marks. Because how can you find out what the client means and not betray your ignorance to the Newspeak reading elite?
The reader is a bit of a philosopher
It would seem that the book purchase transaction has no philosophical or existential dimension. Of course, only me, an ordinary bread eater and a moth of everyday readers, thought so. When my “complete offer” with some 30 books appeared on the site, I received the inquiry “Is this item still available?”. And my inner Janusz is glad that all of them are right now! No problem, golden customer! But pro forma I ask, “Which book is this about?” And I get the philosophical answer “I don’t know”, and since they taught me at school that “I know I don’t know anything” is an expression of wisdom, I already feel respect. At the request for photos of books (I will not sadden the sage with the mention that everything is on offer, to which even our chat links), I send all the photos. And in return I get… not a list of titles, but photos turned into works of art, that is, with books marked off. Phew… we managed to make contact.
Who we are? Where are we heading? And for how much?
After a series of questions about an unfathomable dimension, very specific doubts arise. But before we get into them, let’s look at the content of my “work”. Yhymm … it read something like this: “I have for sale books once read in perfect condition. The price is PLN XX per item. Pickup at XXXX Street.” Now let’s move on to the most popular (okay, the only one, my offer was not that popular at all): How much does the book cost? Where can you pick it up? Oh no, it’s too far.
And here it is doubtful whether the readers… did not like to read? Though no, they probably don’t like bits like what I offer, so they tactfully lowered a veil of silence on her.
