I found myself realizing how inherently boring literature is.  In the end, what is it but black squiggles on a pale surface?  So my duty as a writer is then to painstakingly arrange these squiggles as best as I know how, and to transport my audience as viscerally as I possibly can.

      Haha! Sorry for the bait and switch! I was just trying to be honest about the obligation I feel, not attack the medium itself.

      If they’re meaningless squiggles that transport us to different worlds, I would venture to say that books might be magic spells…. 🙂
