I feel like the modern reader lost the fascination for "how things were". They want to see toys fighting but are afraid to learn a bit of history
And that results in them not appreciating "old fashioned reading" or how they represent the period they were produced in
i didnt believe in miracles or a higher power until my coworker told me "im gonna need to use sign language today, i can sense it" then proceeded to spend 3 hours telling me about how she got rabies as a kid and ripped the IV out of her arm and then a def customer walked in.
