About This Quote
This quote from Joe Queenan is a brilliant insight into the motivations behind every action human beings take. In his mind, all human activity stems from one simple goal: to get laid. The world is full of pointless and distracting activities designed to distract people from the actual goal: finding sex partners and getting laid. This includes everything from sports to cleaning your house, but it also includes reading books. Queenan doesn’t mean that all men are like this; he only means that if you can’t find a man who will read a book for the pure pleasure of learning, there is probably something wrong with you.
