We need to have destructo-books. Books that intentionally take themselves apart so they can't be resold on the internet. Not that they should necessarily be shoddy. More like something you will want to take apart and eat or give to your friends. This is my plan to save the publishing industry. I will start with Steven Millhauser's Dangerous Laughter. Reading it halfway, I had already thought of three chapters to give to people. I almost want to eat some of them. It will be the revival of the short-story to boot.

Such dreams.

More on Steven Millhauser later.
