'Use and Abuse of Literature,' by Marjorie Garber
Why read? You'd think that with the e-book and the Internet, with Google searching and channel surfing, the experience of curling up with a good book is as archaic as a buggy ride. You'd think, too, that with graphic novels and celebrity memoirs, and with Wikipedia offering their entries in "simple English," the very idea of literature itself had disappeared and, along with it, the language of craft and cadence that made memorable all writers from Shakespeare to Shaw. Not so, argues Marjorie Garber, in "The Use and Abuse of Literature," an immensely readable yet vastly erudite reflection on the history of literary writing, literary criticism and the social value of both.

1 Comment Whiteley’s is a family run local garden centre, but I always make sure I have my camera ready when I go as I am garunteed to find a sign or two with mis-used apostrophes or dreadful spelling and grammar. I have a theory now. I think that people are more likely to include an apostrophe on plural words that end in a vowel like extra’s and pizza’s etc… Starting quarterback for Arizona State, Brock Osweiler shows off his tattoo.

That said, nobody wants the damn thing after you’ve taken a bite out of it. Don’t try to assuage your guilt/food issues by telling yourself that someone else will eat it.
