It wasn’t up against a wall, it was just sitting in the middle of the path. More importantly, it had books on its shelves! She very kindly took a photo for me to share:. Enter yo...

July 29, 2011 by cultureandcake. Is it the choice of subject matter? The number of pages? The use of big words? Is a Margaret Atwood or Salman Rushdie book considered to be of a higher literary quality than Dan Brown or Stephanie Myer? If so, why? What will they be reading in school? I wrote an earlier post. Asking if we...

Are you ever embarrassed by a book you are reading? November 10, 2010 by cultureandcake. One of the blogs I enjoy reading is called Bookish NYC and every week she writes a post called ‘ seen on the subway’. How odd is that? I’ve read quite a bit of trash in my time, but I’ve never felt the need to hide it. Of course this started me wondering abou...

From the sublime to the trashy and everything in between. Less of a Jerk but Still a Perjurer. What drew me to Alger Hiss: Why He Chose Treason. Of Allen Weinstein’s Perjury or the serial-deceiver (he just plain likes to lie! Of Edward White’s Looking Glass Wars or the cold-fish (he’s a jerk! 8211; all worthy, readable books that have their place. Monday, April 23, 2012.

From the sublime to the trashy and everything in between. The Reader Cries Uncle. Like any other hazardous object, The Wind Cries Mary. Should have a warning label. Something along the lines of “reader is advised to wear neck brace to prevent injuries cause by abrupt changes of topic” or perhaps a more catchall “abandon all hope ye who enter.” This, gentle reader, is one rough ride. Well, he was there and he did have that nasty case of acne when he was a teen. Rice’s crimes were horrific but mo...This bo...

From the sublime to the trashy and everything in between. Another Item for the Things Not To Do List. Is one of those Hollywood characters I'd catch glimpses of when reading the biography of a star of the Forties or Fifties. When slogging through, say, Judy Garland's third "It's going to last forever! Somehow . she managed to bury the hatchet, but it was a shallow grave on the edge of a slippery slope.".
