Who has read any of them?

I've read Gunter Grass. His Onion Skin book was kind of good, an autobiography. I read the book about the stunted kid as well, not really my sort of thing....
 
I guess that after another 20 years of Tik Tok and What's-up - no one will even know any of those names. - not to mention having read one of those books.

Very few here, as there aren't many who read the German language hanging around here. Although I have heard a few of their names, I wouldn't have an opinion as to whether they were good or the shits.

I'd say those zombies who use TikTok are the sort of people who'd not have read a book even if TikTok didn't exist. People who read books will always read books.
