"I Can't Read War & Peace Anymore"

I read this yesterday in a collection of spiritual writings from 2010. I find the article relevant to my initial theme of media as an intersection of the secular and what I would deem the sacred. It also raises some interesting questions about the morality of technology, especially with regard to the Internet's impact on how we think. Definitely worth mulling over. Of course, I wouldn't put it past you if you simply skimmed the article ... if I hadn't stumbled upon it in print, I'd most likely have done the same.

As an aside, I'm a huge Annie Dillard fan.
