I buy a Sunday Times For The First Time in Ages
And what do I find, but a multi-pronged assault on books!
Bill Keller wonders why anyone writes them.
James Gleick calls them “fetish objects”
And Miranda July, who is a writer (and a filmmaker) I like quite a bit, is called “twee.”
I’m going to buy a mass market copy of Game of Thrones to protest (I’ve been looking for an excuse and apparently, this is it).
Despite the assault, I will admit, however, that I quite enjoyed having a few quiet hours with the Sunday paper, it really is not at all like reading it online. And so, it is something I plan to do whenever possible.
