I read some thoughts over at Reading Matters. Basically the guy goes off on Updike’s new book Terrorist. I have not read Updike’s latest, but I do have to nod in agreement to his general view of the books big houses are cranking out these days.
I am in no way a “serious lit” reader. I wish I could get into a lot of the classics and put forth thoughts on liteary theory. But all that takes the fun out of books, for me. I like a good read. Period. That means good writing too.
I give every novel 100 pages before I give up…
