The Many Possible & Impossible Ideas for the Altered Book

Since I have never read a book that I hated, I will be obtaining some magazine in a novel’s place. The media’s ideas of interesting news and tips are often extremely superficial, obvious fabricated lies, and unnecessary means of gossip… which I hate with the intensity of a thousand burning suns.
