Quote of the Day (Margaret Atwood, on the Survival of the Book)

“Every prediction—radio would kill books, it didn’t; television would kill movies, it didn’t; e-reading will kill books, it hasn’t—these predictions have all been wrong. You’re never going to kill storytelling, because it’s built into the human plan. We come with it.”—Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood quoted in Lily Rothman, “Margaret Atwood on Serial Fiction and the Future of the Book,” Time, Oct. 8, 2012
