I agree with Pam Inglesby's recommendation about Levine's HIGHBROW/LOWBROW. It is a good antidote to some of the flabby prose being published. I don't agree with every word, but then there's hardly anyone I agree with more than half the time. Pam: Remaindered at five bucks? I guess I just haven't been watching. But quick turn-over is increasingly common even for very popular books. Something to do with the tax code and current practices in publishing.
