Morning News Tournament of Books
The Morning News has begun their Tournament of Books. A new match is posted every weekday until it’s finished. The reviews are pretty good though the commentary can be great. I found this one quite humorous:
People who reread novels are buying only half as many books as their monoreading counterparts. At a time when the overall consumption of literary fiction is bottoming out like Paul Prudhomme’s Mardi Gras float, we simply must have zero tolerance for people who reread books they’ve already digested. Rereading Midnight’s Children, for instance, is no different from breaking into Salman Rushdie’s luxurious Manhattan apartment and stealing a wheel of imported cheese.
