Books sold on sidewalk on 2-5-21--Tirana






If you see Stefan Zweig's books on Nietzsche and Dostoievski on the sidewalk, you're in a serious culture.

And I would say if you see a Sylvester Stallone book for sale on a sidewalk in Albania it is the apogee of a serious culture. However, I would understand a John Belushi book on a sidewalk as he was Albanian. That said, there is no accounting for others intellect nor taste. For example it is said that Stephen Hawkings likes to watch porn and watch it prodigiously too. How does one grapple with that scenario?

I'm not sure about Hawking's porn obsession. He said, “The internet has brought a lot benefits, but it has its own drawbacks such as pornography and threatening messages.”
