Summary

This quote suggests that although it may be disheartening to think about the sad reality that some books may not receive the recognition they deserve due to all the competition and abundance of literature, it is important to remember that this "busyness" of writers also filters out numerous bad books. In other words, the sheer amount of aspiring writers and their constant efforts to produce literature may act as a safeguard, preventing the world from being flooded with poor-quality books. This perspective highlights the positive side of a saturated literary market, offering solace and calling for appreciation of the higher quality books that do manage to shine amidst the chaos.

Sometimes, comics will make the observation that it's not jokes that are funny, it's characters that are funny. And isn't that true! That's why I always kill jokes. I'm terrible at them, because I get the joke right, but I can't get the character right, and it just goes down like a lead balloon.
