In the course of my work, or during forums on matters reading, I have always declared that there are people in this country who have, on their own initiative, read only one book - Facebook.

A joke has often been said with regard to this kind of people; that they will wake up very early in the morning, and before they confirm that their most vital organs are working, they log in to Facebook to post, like, and share.
