According to
                Philip Larkin, Books Are a Load of **** 
                by Alex Andy Phuong 
                Many English teachers would
                criticize students for using resources like Cliffsnotes and Sparknotes instead
                of reading original texts.  Nevertheless,
                given the amount of time a person has to live,
                who really has time to read hundreds of pages of
                writing when people usually live for about a
                century or less?  Time is precious, and
                there are only 525,600 minutes per year.  Even
                if people could read at one page per minute
is
                it really worth it?
