Too bad you can only read mostly garbage on the internet (alas, even here). Read a nice classic piece of literature in paper form, preferably a book that's a little faded by time.

If only they had that in downloadable book form on the internet

@Nikokaro Not remembering the full details of the original Fahrenheit 451 book anymore so no idea if it was in there, too. In a (very good – way BETTER than the movie) German audio play adaptation of Fahrenheit, Professor Faber tells Guy Montag: "The same things, the same intelligent spirit – which was once be found in books – could as well be delivered through the four TV walls."

That said, I still prefer paper books for literature.
It is not a question of the medium. Paper, electronic reader, audio play, movie or computer program (or game). All can be used for the good and for the bad. The internet is one of the greatest achievements of all time – similar to the letterpress. And both get (ab)used for nonsense.

@KleinesSinchen Mine was a remark from a nostalgic "old" romantic. There's nothing better than a beautiful nineteenth-century english (or german, why not) novel on a book that is 40 or more years old, with yellowed and sagging pages and that smells of dust and mold.
