I keep hearing things on the radio about wanting to get people to read more fiction books. It seems to me that this is for the most part a waste of time. Getting people into the "habit" of reading Mills and Boone (I am sure they are very nice books!) is of no value in my world. Of course there are indeed great works of art in fictional form but the other 99% of pulp I believe you could burn and nobody would be any worse off (except publishers?). What do you think?
