Has Western Civilization Died?

Last month I wanted a biography of Joe McCarthy and not only did my branch not have one, none could be had even from the state-wide system. I don't mean just the title I wanted; there was no copy of any biography of Joe McCarthy anywhere in the Ohio state system. I had to buy it (and may donate it when I have finished reading i

Hunt down Dr Joseph Farrell’s work on McCarthy .
It is bombshell reading and scholarly .

I am abroad presently so cannot give you more details .

Project Gutenberg has 74,000 works now.

I use an app, AIReader, to do text to speech from e-books.

Actually it's the library system that died. Generations of kids were raised with video games and you tube and cell phone gizmos. My grandson is a smart guy but he doesn't read books for entertainment. It seems that fewer and fewer people read books and certainly not the classics.
