This objectionable practice had increased among the younger generation, and Dad was more pleased than the could say to not that I had not yet displayed any such tendencies. Lunatic asylums were overflowing with folk who'd been reading too much. Once upon a time they'd been just like you and me, physically strong, straightforward, cheerful, and well balanced. Then they'd started reading. Most often by chance. A bout of flu perhaps, with a few days in bed. An attractive book cover that had aroused some curiosity. And suddenly the bad habit had taken hold. The first book had led to another. Then another, and another, all links in a chain that led straight down into the eternal night of mental illness. It was impossible to stop. It was worse than drugs. It might just be possible, if you were very careful, to look at the occasional book that could teach you something, such as encyclopedias or repair manuals. The most dangerous kind of book was fiction-- that's where all the brooding was sparked and encouraged. Damnit all! Addictive and risky products like that should only be available in state-regulated monopoly stores, rationed and sold only to those with a license, and mature in age.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Mikael Niemi" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/mikael-niemi/the-most-dangerous-thing-of-all-and-something-he-wanted-to-warn-me/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1a3/mikael-niemi-88642_bad-habit_the-most-dangerous-thing-of-all-and-some_3123939.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1a3/mikael-niemi-88642_bad-habit_the-most-dangerous-thing-of-all-and-some_3123939.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1a3/mikael-niemi-88642_bad-habit_the-most-dangerous-thing-of-all-and-some_3123939.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The most dangerous thing of all, and something he wanted to warn me about above all else, the one thing that…” — Mikael Niemi", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/mikael-niemi/#person", "name": "Mikael Niemi", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/mikael-niemi/", "description": "Swedish author (born 1959)... | Mikael Niemi is a Swedish author.
