"But wouldn't libraries disappear… eventually?
Charles Daniel
(I hope that we are not that short sighted. There are many advantages to digital books, but permanent accessibility is not one of them. Without a computer to translate the data of an e-book into readable format they are useless. A physical book can be read as long as one has light and knowledge of the language it is written in.)

Suggestion: As if it were a hungry hungry caterpillar. (This refers to a popular children's book that many English speakers have read, or had read to them, in childhood.)

"So it's going to train me to build up immunity over several years or books or whatever so that most poisons just don't work on me?"
Charles Daniel
(There is a definite detriment to such resistance. Most drugs can be considered poisonous — it is a matter of dosage. A little digitalis can strengthen one's heart a larger dose can stop it.)
