Bad book! Be gone with ye!

This is a really amusing column in The London Times about the books we haven't read, and how to talk about them. It gave me a good laugh.

One minor point of contention. Times columnist Sarah Vine wrote the following about Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code:

"I don’t know anyone with an ounce of intellectual pride who will confess to having read it, and yet statistically some of them must be lying."

Now you have, Ms. Vine. But it was a good column, so I'll let it slide. : )
